MOVIE TIME

Now take a look at what your occupation looks like on the job by going to http://www.careervoyages.gov/careervideos-main.cfm and viewing a video clip of the career. Please avoid the large video selections focusing on an industry overview-they are much too long! After viewing the video clip write a sentence or two telling whether the clip has helped you learn more about these jobs.

Do you think you would like working in this job or career? Why or why not?
