Today's Focus: Evaluating My Interests (Teacher Read Aloud)

• • • Discuss how when evaluating future careers, it is important to look at careers that match our interests.

    • If a person works full-time, they spend 40 hours per week and 2,080 hours per year at work!

    • Spending all that time in a career you are not interested in could be challenging.

    • Think about how personal satisfaction and happiness relates to finding a career you are passionate about.
