statement), three supporting details (may look at salaries, employers, skills and
work attributes, or demand for details), and a conclusion (a statement of whether
you see yourself in this career or not in the future).
The career that I have chosen is not exactly the career I wanted to take, but it close
enough. I chose this career because I build, design, and develop computer-related
equipment or computers if you like to call it that. This job offers an annual salary of
$105,410(33%), easy to get a degree, and great colleges to choose from. I would
most likely not see myself in this career because I wanted to do something else
besides this, but its a start.
