Discuss how your "present reality" coincides with that mission. In addition, using the Internet, try to find as much about your chosen career(s) as you can from the categories listed below and include a summary of that information your submission:

• How much this career pays, on average, in your location.
• How "new" your career is to the market.
• How much training is generally required to enter the field in this career?
• What is the potential for advancement in this career.
