Research Paper Homework: Career Project
Directions: Choose 3 different careers related to health, fitness, sports and/or therapy. Prepare a research paper describing three separate careers using the guidelines provided below. The paper should be a minimum of 1500 words long (not including the Title Page and Works Cited /References pages). After you have chosen your careers, find out the following subject matter information below for EACH career in your paper:
1) Job Description - What does a person do when working in this career?
2) Job Demand - Look at what job duties would be expected for someone pursuing this career, including the perks and possible downside of the job. Try to be as detailed as possible. If you were to pursue a job in each of these careers, would you have a hard time finding a place to get hired locally or would you have to move to a large city? There are some careers that are in very high demand, but there are others that are very specialized and are more difficult to get into.
3) Average Annual Income - look at the expected income in bigger cities as well as in smaller communities.
4) Required Education - Look at whether you would need to get a certification, a college degree, a graduate degree, or additional training in order to get hired for this position. Also, talk about any local universities that offer programs in these fields.
