1: What does someone with this career do?
2: In what setting would you like to have this career? (locally, out of state, big company, small, etc.?)
3: What are the skills, talents or personality traits required for this job?
4: What are the daily duties and expectations for this job? (List at least 3 and explain them.)
5: What would you consider the best parts of the day?
