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!!!!

I want to see one specific occupation and two backups!  For the specific job, I would you to write at minimum of three paragraphs as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.  If it meets your expectations, do further research

If you do a quick three paragraphs basically saying nothing about the job, I will grade accordingly.  I want you to look at each of the above sections for the advantages and disadvantages of the job you chose for your resume.  If the specific job is not in CIS, then please go to outside sources. 

Remember, the amount of pay is "median" and not top or low.

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