Any special traditions/if any
If you choose a job, career, or branch of the military, you must cover:

Why this occupation is important
What makes it a good field to work in
Training, education, or certification requirements
Skills that you need to be successful
Companies that you can work for
What is the average starting pay? What is the most you can expect to earn in this field?
Helpful hints:
Remember when giving a presentation, less is better on the screen. Also, a maximum of six lines of text per page is best. It is better not to type in complete sentences, but to put only the important information (using bullets) on the screen. Also, use light color text on a dark background or dark text on a light background (be careful of putting text on top of a picture – the text may blend in and be hard to read). Do not use pictures as backgrounds unless it is very easy to read the text you put on top of them.
