** Portfolio Development **
So, what do you plan to do with your life? How will you achieve your goals to reach the career you desire?

Read the original essay by James Thurber, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. What were his fantasies and dreams? Could he have realized some of these things through a career change? What advice do you think Walter Mitty would give you regarding planning your career? How will your chosen career help you realize your dreams?

Before we can aspire to a particular occupation, we must be able to visualize ourselves in that role. What would a day in the life of your job as a teacher (or other occupation) be like?

What are you going to do to make your dream job a reality? Begin researching your career following the guidelines given in class and using Career Cruising. You will have to use your time effectively, so you should consider working on this outside of class.
