Ask students to think about a job they have or once had that they felt good about. Compile a list of those characteristics that made this job memorable.

Distribute "Career Choice Musts" and ask students to evaluate how their list compares to the handout. Be sure students are clear about what makes a job worthwhile besides just the salary.

Using the classified ads, have students select three jobs they may be interested in. Using information in the ad or research conducted on the Internet, have students complete the "Career Choice Evaluation" sheet.

Divide students into groups to share their findings. Alert students to the fact that rarely does any one job fulfill all the requirements for job satisfaction.

Ask groups to share their results and discuss insights gained by students in evaluating career choices.
