Career Search Paper

Today you will be researching a career on the internet.

Find all the relevant information, including educational requirements, starting salary, average salary, salary for Alabama (or wherever you might want to live), working conditions, future outlook, trends in the industry, positive aspects about the job, negative aspects about the job, quotes from people in that career, and anything else that can help you narrow your focus.
