1.  Discuss your chosen career in terms of at least THREE criteria that you have formulated to determine whether the career is the right choice.  Remember that the criteria you’ve  chosen may have been salary and/or benefits, location, environment, part time vs. full time, education requirements and/or ongoing professional requirements.   And of course, you could have created and choosen your own criteria.  Hopefully you have two sources (articles, journals, etc.) for each of your criterion that you’ve researched for Writing Assignment #4 – Work Cited Page for a total of six sources.   This portion of your essay should be about three pages in length.

In-text Parenthetical Citations:  You should have six direct quotes and/or paraphrases from your six sources (at least one from each source). Each of these direct quotes and/or paraphrases need to have an in-text parenthetical citation referencing the author’s last name and/or page number.

Length:  Total length of this Research Paper should be 4-5 pages.

Part 2-

Post the  introduction of your research paper in order to help your classmates compare and contrast their own introductory writing.  Your introduction should end with your thesis and be about one page in length.   Your thesis should list out the three criteria you will be focusing on.    Telling and illustrating a story focusing on why you’ve chosen this career may be the best strategy to write your introduction.
