Exploring Careers &

Comparing Colleges
Directions:

Now that youve chosen your #1 career, its time to research the job
training that youll need (aka- what type of education will you have to
get to be able to do this job one day).
Think about:
Will you need a Bachelors Degree? Some sort of Graduate
Degree? Or can you go to a trade school to get on-the-job
training and experience?
Will you have to do an internship or an apprenticeship?
What schools offer the program(s) that you need?
What colleges offer the programs (what you need to study to get
the job you eventually want to have)?
Consider what we discussed yesterday (Community College
before University; not choosing the big name schools; staying
in-state vs. going to school out-of-state)

Step #1:

First, click the My EDP. Then, click your #1 Career (what you chose
at the end of the Comparing Careers Assignment.) Finally, click the
Education tab on the sidebar. Summarize it in 4 sentences.
To become a criminal lawyer It says I should take courses such as, English, history, and law
and government. I would have to attend law school and then complete a law degree. Before I
will be able to apply to law school I would have to have a bachelors degree, Which usually
takes 4 years. Before I have to attend Law School, I could take courses like criminal law,
which would include, criminology, law and society, psychology, or sociology, Law school
usually takes 3 years, and receive a JD.

Step #2:

Next, click Sample Career Path on the sidebar. Explain the range and
variety (or, various levels) of jobs and earnings your career could have.
If you start at level one you could be a law clerk, which usually helps the senior
lawyers and doesnt earn much, next you could be a junior lawyer which does legal
research and writing and prepares legal documents, and represents clients or
government in small cases. The next level would be a Senior Lawyer, who prepares
legal documents and represents the government or clients in large matters. While
presenting appeals.

Step #3:

Now, pick three schools or places to train for your career. Click the
Education tab. Then, you can pick the way you want to search.
If you already have a pretty good idea of where you want to go, choose
Explore Education, and search by school.
If youre unsure of where you want to go, click School Selector to
narrow down your options.
Once youve picked three schools, save them to your EDP by clicking the
blue Save to My EDP button.
