Career Research Paper due on Monday!

Your big assignment this week is to complete your career research paper. Due to the snow day, it will be due on Monday, December 14th. If you completed the rough draft on time, you have my comments for revision. Please make sure your paper includes the following:
1. Introduction (originally titled Goals and Dreams)
2. Background and History
3. Salary, Growth and Opportunity
4. Education, Training and Personality
5. A Day in the Life
6. Conclusion
7. Works Cited page

Make sure there are parenthetical citations for all facts and ideas that are not yours. Within almost all paragraphs in sections 2-5, you should have a citation.
Make sure your works cited page is complete.
You should have a final draft rubric and a sample works cited page, both which are on the workspace in First Class. I'll also post them here under Helpful documents shortly.
