The Art of Pitching
After a couple weeks thinking about what I could do my I-search project on, I finally decided to do it on my future career choices. It was really hard to pick just one thing that I wanted to learn more about for this project. I am not really sure what I want to be, but I have a good idea. The two careers that fit me the most though are, massage therapy and business management. I know a little about these careers, but I want to know more about them. What is the salary? That is the question that I really want to find out, because any normal person wants to have money and nice things. I don't want to be poor all the time with a bad paying job. Am I going to have fun going to work every day? I don't want to have to dread going to work every day. I want to enjoy myself. That is were I prefer massage therapy a little bit more, because I like it when I can make people happy and feel better. I already know what the jobs consist of so I really don't want to look up too much about that. Right now in my life I am mostly worrying about getting through high school. I am not even sure about college, because I am not even sure I know what I want to be. The reason why I chose this topic is to find out what I really want to be.
st place I went to look is the internet. I really wasn't sure where to start on the internet. It is huge and has so much information. After doing a report for Trig/Pre-Calc class I learned that (Dogpile.com) had every bit of information I needed to do my report. That is where I started at. I didn't find very much though. The only thing there that I could find was numerous amounts of colleges that want to teach people massage therapy. Also there were places where you can go to get massages, which is not what I am searching for. At that point I thought this project was going to be impossible, because I couldn't find any of the information that I wanted. On The (http://aol.digitalcity.com/baltimore/salaries/?page=default) site I found a lot of information that came from a bunch of different people with the career of business manager. Here is one opinion from a guy that wrote into the site: Another thing I found there was this saying, "If upper management I thought this project was going to be really hard but it turned out to be very helpful, because I found out things that I have been wondering for a long time. Plus, I would not have taken time to do this if I didn't have to do a project on it. It also got me thinking about getting ready for college. I wanted to look for a little bit more information even though I found out everything that I wanted to know. I tried a site called (www.askthecareerwiz.com,) but I didn't find any career wiz there because they couldn't answer any of my questions. After I tried that site I tried a link connected to www.askthecareerwiz.com called (www.career.com.) The only thing there were career openings for people that are seeking good careers. The last place I went to was (www.ask.com.) I asked Jeeves about massage therapy and only two things came up. "Should I see a therapist?" "Where can I find a massage therapist in my area?" After this I figured I found out as much as I was going to. I was not really sure about being a business manager because there is so many different choices, and I am really bad at making decisions. So I went and took another look at massage therapy to compare and contrast salaries. I went
