SDEV 0170 - Career Path Activity - Is the Price Right?
You've just been given a group assignment to present a career path choice. Some of the elements
that you need to include are educational requirements and average starting salaries.
Divide yourselves up into groups of 3 or 4. Each group will be given a list of professions.
You'll also be given a list of sources. Determine what your search strategy would be and then decide which
resources are appropriate for the information that you need.
Groups who finish will get accolades from your fellow students.
Each group has to nominate a spokesperson to discuss which sources were more helpful and why.
