You are required to describe the skills, work habits, education, and training required for entry into employment in these fields. Other factors, including job description, places of work, potential salary and other career opportunities should be discussed.

Specifics to answer:

• Full-time Earnings – Estimate how much this person would make.
• Working Conditions – How many hours per week? What type of equipment and/or software do they use? Where would their job be located?
• Career Path/Future Forecast – Are there any opportunities to ‘move up’ in the industry? Is there a possibility of growth for this job? Or is the position dying off?
• Skills needed – Besides formal training, what skills would be helpful?    (think like communication, punctuality, organization etc)
• Why you are interested in the job – Why did you choose this job to research?
