Health Career Assignment #1
Assignment #1
To complete this assignment you would need at least three pieces of paper, a pen or pencil, computer and quiet, quiet, quiet.
Step 1
Go to the “Explore Health Careers. Org” website.
https://explorehealthcareers.org/en/home
Step 2
Using the column on the website furthest to your left select and write down (on a half piece of paper with your name on it) 15 health careers using the bulleted guideline below.
- Two careers that you are most familiar with
- Four careers that you learned about during your hospital visits
- Four careers that, if you had to pick a career today these would be my top four.
- Two careers you find odd or have never heard of.
- Two careers you would never ever, ever, ever, ever, select
- One career that you find very interesting but you feel you would never pursue it.
Step 3
Using the careers you selected in bullet point three (above), write an “info card” for each on a half piece of paper. Each info card needs to contain the following in bullet pointed format:
- Your name and period
- The name of the career
- Which category on the website’s left most column you found it under
- What the yearly salary range is
- Write a paragraph about what a person with the career title does
- If “working conditions” is part of the article write a paragraph on it
- Write a paragraph about what kind of training/education is needed for that career
Hint: Plagiarism is unacceptable. Your paragraphs need to be in your words. Try the “magnate word” summary technique you have been practicing all year.
Step 4
Using the career you selected in bullet point six write a paragraph with no less that 9 sentences telling me why you selected this career and why you don’t feel you would pursue it.
