As much as we all want to be novelists and poets, I believe I have proven to you that you MUST have a job to pay the bills until you write the next best seller. Because I truly believe that if you love your job you will never work a day in your life (I should truly cite the person who first said this here and give them credit for the quote, but I haven't slept in over 24 hours and you are going to have to forgive me. Google it for yourself and write it on a piece of paper for extra credit if you're good enough), you are going to research a career that includes some sort of creative writing to make yourself happy until you write the next best seller.

For today's grade, you need to go to either Career Builder or Monster and research jobs within 50 - 100 miles of Bedford that have creative writing in the job requirements or description. You are technologically savvy young adults, you can do this. Plus, you have an ITRT in the room with you, and she is amazing and eager to help you. I want you to create a list of FIVE JOBS within the area that include creative writing, that you __//might//__ be interested in pursuing. I will grade you on creating a list that includes:

Title of the job Name of the company Educational requirements (degrees, concentrations, specialties)

Eventually, this will lead you to a college search where you will be choosing a DOUBLE MAJOR, one in a writing field, and another major to help you advance your career (business, marketing, education, etc.) I love you; behave; have a good spring break.
