Essay #5 - What do you think would happen in real life if we pinned all our hopes on one "ideal" job that didn't work out? Use at lease one (different) resource to answer the following question. What is the job outlook for this career? What dynamics of the changing work force and changing influences on the job market (e.g., developing technology and economic trends) might change how this job will be done in the future? Will this job exist in 10 years and will there be openings for people going into this field? What other career fields are related to your chosen field and do any of them interest you?
