Journal #5: typed; due Friday, Sept. 20 in class
Some of the questions will be brief (#1 & #4 for example) and some may need more explanation. This will vary from person to person.
1. List your top 3 occupations that came up in your search results. In other words, which of the highest ranking occupations were your favorite matches. Why did you choose them? Is it because they were unique or high-paying or something you had already thought of, etc.
2. Choose either the Education - School Sort or Education - Compare Schools and tell me what you found out. Did those schools match your occupation from #1?
3. Make a responsibilities list (classes, responsibilities in general, etc.) and finish the Values x Expectations Formula. Report your results and offer ways you may improve your motivation score.
4. Briefly, tell me how your progress is going with your tasks from Journal #3. Your answer can be done in this journal or I opened a discussion forum on the TLC home page where everyone can talk with one another (click on "Journal #5 Discussion"). You can answer in either or both places.
