Extra Credit Blog - Adult Interview

Interview an adult over 25 years old about their job.

  1. Where do you work?
  2. What is your job title?
  3. What kind of education is required to for your position?
  4. What are the things you enjoy the most about your job?
  5. What things do you enjoy the least about your job?
  6. If you had to do it all over again, what would you change about your education and why?
  7. What is the salary range for someone in that type of position? (((note: it is considered extremely rude to ask someone what they make . . . it’s ok to ask what is the “pay range” of an entry level position – verses – the top level position for that type of job in this area of the country. If the person is uncomfortable about giving you a range – don’t press the issue.)))

    To get credit, this post must be completed by Sunday, May 3rd, 2009. Worth 10 extra credit points.

  1. I don't have a job, but if I did I would play for the Detroit Tigers.
    I'd be the left fielder.
    At least a high school degree in order to play baseball.
    I'd enjoy just playing baseball.
    I'd hat striking out and the injuries.
    I would not, because I'd already have a great paying job, and I'd like it.
    Somewhere in the million doller range.
