DECISION-MAKING ACTIVITY: What do I want to do when I grow up? Planning and Goal Setting: Students investigate a variety of career options. To make an informed decision, students need to gather information about possible jobs or careers. In this activity, students investigate the following websites and choose three possible careers and answer the following questions: 1) Why do you find this job interesting?; 2) What does the worker do?; 3) What is the wage or salary?; 4) What skills are required?; and, 5) What is the education/training required? Little kids can use the following resources for research:
Making the Decision: With the information you have gathered, weigh the costs and benefits of the particular career choices using a PACED Decision-making grid.
Assessing Outcomes: After students make a decision, they still must decide if they are satisfied with their choice.
Look at the choices you made. Consider the education and skills you will need. Think about the salary. What job would you choose? Explain why you chose that job. Use the News! Check out the want ads in the news to look for different opportunities in your area.
