Can you create a worksheet for my middle school careers class? I would like them to be able to choose their career and then research it to answer the questions on the worksheet

This resource guide outlines a structured approach for students to research a career of their choice. It includes learning objectives, criteria for success, and a detailed step-by-step process for selecting a career, reflecting on initial interest, and planning research. Students are encouraged to use reliable sources to gather information about educational requirements, essential skills, typical work environments, average salaries, daily responsibilities, and future job outlooks in the chosen field. The guide also emphasizes the importance of interviewing a professional in the field and includes templates for evaluating the pros and cons of the career, as well as a self-evaluation checklist. Finally, it offers presentation options for students to share their findings with the class and encourages making professional connections for deeper insights into the chosen career.
