Life on the Job
Real People,
Real Experiences
"Life on the Job" reviews current and historical
people's career paths through their experiences, opportunities, education and training and
explores how people ended up in the jobs that they currently hold.
The addition of these life stories brings realism to the students' perception of
careers. "Life on the Job" will seed new jobs for the site by people submitting
their jobs and lives. Interesting reading for students, teachers and parents alike.
In addition, historical people's lives can be added to the
site.... research some that are given or find your own and add it to the site.
To use this section of the web site, students, teachers and
parents can read "Life on the Job" experiences, submit a "Life on the
Job", or submit information on an Historical or Famous Person's "Life on the
Job".
