Dear Class:

• Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
• Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
• Understand the value of self-assessments

2.   We return to "My_Jobs" document.  This is exploratory on your side.  I want to see you looking a jobs.  Things happen...your life changes.  I want to see one specific occupation and two backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of one paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.  Remember, the amount of pay is "median" and not top or low.  See Attorneys' fees article for Portland attorney fees. 

Three other copies today:  Filter, Sort and Combined Report.  Will do together....

1. You need to know the vocabulary.  Budget Vocabulary Flashcard Practice
Test is today. Paste the result in a document titled "Budget_Vocabulary_Test". I will put the grade in my book as you get done.

3.   Copy the jobs from the "Character" survey into the "My_Jobs" document.  That will now create a document that will encompass Interest Profiler/Importance Locator/Skills/Meyers Briggs/Character. We will be choosing an "Occupation" from that group of job lists.  Label each as you copy and paste them in.  Go to  CIS and look at the descriptions of the occupations you might be interested in and any jobs you don't know what they do.  I want to see you working on it!!!!

Look at "Order by Cluster" if you need to back up and look at more general terms for grouping.
