Most of us aren't extremely gifted like
the painters Picasso and Renoir. Most of us don't automatically know what we're good at or what we want to do for the rest
of our lives. In some ways, we're lucky because we have more career choices. However, too many choices can get us stuck in
the decision-making process instead of getting on with a particular career.
One way to narrow choices is to take
a look at what interests you. Your interests influence the decisions you make. For example, you choose a movie or magazine
based on how much it interests you. You choose your friends because you share the same interests. Your interests also influence
your career choices. For the following activity, you will need to have completed the Activities assessment on pages 4 and
5 in the Assessment Booklet. You will also need to read over the You And Your Career Booklet to understand what the codes
mean. You will be reviewing these codes in a later unit. It's enough that you have a basic idea of their meaning.

Go to the booklet entitled ASSESSMENT BOOKLET
and complete
the ACTIVITIES assessment
on pages 4 and 5 NOW. |
You may complete the OCCUPATIONAL DAYDREAMS
activity on page 3 at any time. You will not be required to do this activity.
Once you have finished the ACTIVITIES
assessment, keep your booklet open to pages 4 and 5 and complete the activity. The results of this activity will be used again
at the end of this unit.
Look only at
the Like column for each of the six sections and at the TOTAL boxes in each section. Which of the six sections have the highest
totals?
Now go through all of the activities you indicated in the Like column and select the five activities that
most interest you from the entire assessment. You may end up choosing all five from one group. You're only deciding which
activities you really enjoy doing.
After you've selected five, enter them in the blanks provided. You will revisit
your five interests in the final activity of this unit. This is a required activity and is graded as complete/not complete.
Copy and paste this assignment onto a Word document before your complete it. Remember to use the “Track Changes” tool.
