Mission Statement for Career Awareness

This class is dedicated to solving problems in the marketplace. Each student will master technical and sales knowledge to position himself stronger in the career of his choosing. Students will count the cost of a college education and weigh that cost against the average financial benefits to be found in his chosen career. An individual can learn on his own. College is not mandatory; it is not for everyone. The goal is to serve and add value to someone else's or your enterprise. The goal is to solve problems and to do that at a good price.

HOMEWORK

Write up a review of a popular product that you've purchased recently. If you really like the product, then your review should read like an extended advertisement. Include a picture of the product in your review. Go to Google images, copy a picture and paste it with your review on your blog. Include the price of the item, the important features--you know, those features for which buy the product in the first place. If you do not like the product--then highlight its short-comings and refer and compare it to a superior product. Make sure that your sentences "sound" like they are selling a product.
