Research Paper
Like most people, OK, I do not know most people, but go along with me; I was unsure what to do when I left high school. That was the case before I actually started to do research on my career and college choices. If you want to achieve your goals for a life after high school, you would have to go over and beyond if you want to get there. This is part of the message that Marlon Wayans has spoken, “Success is not a destination, but the road that you 're on.

These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business). There is more to me than these three words, but for now this is good enough to pinpoint a small number of jobs available to me. Out of the few they gave to me, this was my top five career choice; costume attendants (Select, fit, and take care of costumes for cast members, and aid entertainers.), payroll and timekeeping clerk (Compile and record employee time and payroll data.), computer technician (applying electrical and electronic theory and related knowledge, usually under the direction of engineering staff, to design, build, repair, calibrate, and modify electrical components, circuitry, controls, and machinery for subsequent evaluation and use by engineering staff in making engineering design decisions.), bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerk (compute, classify, and record numerical data to
