Career Choice Research Paper

Pick a career listed on the poster related to Information Technology that could be of interest to you. If you wish to pick something different, get instructor approval. Research the career. Determine what type of schooling and industry certifications would be needed for the career chosen. In addition to looking up the certifications, you can look to see the costs involved with getting the related certificates. Look into colleges or technical schools that could offer the training/certification in the area chosen. After doing the research on each of the jobs make a list of the pros and cons of the career you picked. Do some research and find available jobs in the field chosen. Document (get the web address) of the website and include a screen shot of the job (in case it is not listed in the future).

You will write a paper that will detail the information you researched. The paper should be typed in Microsoft Word and be no less that two pages long. You should use a 12 point font, double spaced and have margins of 1”. When listing the jobs with pros and cons use a table (the table is a separate page in the paper). The table should include the potential jobs that are available in each field including the city and state the job was offered in, the salary offered and the requested experience and/or certificates wanted for the job. Make sure you document the websites you use to get information as you will be expected to document your findings. You can choose to use either endnotes or footnotes to document your sources. Consult the rubric for additional items that should be included in the paper. This assignment will be graded as a test (project) and will be due Monday 9/28.
