2) Literacy Block: How to a career that's best for you

1. Before you read: Call out things you considered when choosing a college and then a career.
2. While you read: Use Diigo sticky notes to answer each question. THEN, relate that question to your career.
1. Example: 
1. Question: How important to you is work-life balance?
2. Answer: Important! I want to have time to throw myself into work, but also time to workout, play with my dog, and spend time with friends. However, work really is a HUGE part of my life. I'm concerned being a lawyer might take up too much time and make me stressed out.
