===Once you watch this youtube video, you will have a good idea of what type of journey you are about to embark upon. The steps will be clear cut, but your final decision will be one to ponder for a while. You'll have plenty of opportunity to reflect as the journey continues. As the video explains, it takes effort, perseverance, and guidance along with self-reflection, research and most importantly, faith in yourself.===

Let's get started:
====** Step I: ** Create a Portfolio for yourself in Choices, a college and career searching site. Click to get instructions on setting up a portfolio and what to do while in Choices.====

3. Choose 2 jobs that seems interesting to you and print the details provided
====Now that you have had the chance to do a little searching, and I hope that you took full advantage, you should have 2 things saved to your Portfolio in Choices: 1) Your chosen clusters of careers and 2) detail about any jobs that may have been interesting to you within these clusters. You should also have printed out 2 of the specific careers and have that printed information in front of you that contains information such as "What They Do", "Salary and Outlook", "Education", "Interviews", and some links to help you get started with more research in that area.====
 * Step 2: **

**Step 2:**
====Now, take some time to read over both of the careers that you chose to delve into further. Write on the printouts, research online using the links provided. Take mental notes the similarities and differences between each career. While investigating, try to image yourself in either of these careers. Think back to the questions that you were asked on the Task page (go back there now if you need to). Just think about this now. No need to write the answers to the questions just yet.====

** Step 3: **
====After reading, thinking, pondering, imaging, and re-thinking, you need to compare the two jobs side by side. So open this Word document and start comparing the 2 careers that you chose to analyze by filling in the worksheet. Use the reports that you generated while in Choices. Once you have finished: proofread, think, analyze, reflect, and once all that has been done, save this document to your personal folder, and then PRINT.====
