Description

A three-session career unit that skips the interest quiz and teaches your student to read the document that actually holds the answers.

Most career exploration produces three job titles and a poster. This starts with a real occupational profile — read line by line, with the arithmetic that turns a salary figure into a comparison you can act on. Then your student researches three careers of their own using the same free federal source school counsellors use, and compares them properly.

There is no fictional student in this unit, deliberately. Your student is the subject: their interests, their careers, their math.
