Job Investigation
When thinking about careers, it is often easy to think of only the more "common" ones, or those which we might have day to day contact with.
If you are to make a well-made career decision, it is very important that you find out as much information as you can about as many jobs as possible.
The main reason why you need to do this is quite simple.
You shouldn't choose something if you don't know much about it, and there are so many available jobs about which you know very little.
Because our society offers such a wide range of jobs, there are also so many jobs about which you know absolutely nothing.
Surely you owe it to yourself to find out as much information you can about all the opportunities that might be open to you?

This exercise is meant to broaden your thinking rather than be practical, so use your imagination as well as reflecting on your possible interests.
