When you are deciding what career you want to enter, you must consider the things you like to do.  Suppose you are offered a job working outside all day long every day.  If you enjoy being outside and really don’t like sitting at a desk all day, this would be a positive incentive for you.  If, however, you have bad allergies and can’t stand to be outside when it is raining or cold, then working outside all day would be a negative incentive for you. 

Get some paper and draw a T-Chart like the one pictured to help you categorize the incentives below as either positive or negative.

Job Related Incentives... High pay Extensive traveling Work shift is 7 am - 3 pm Work shift is 3 pm - 11 pm Heavy lifting or physical work is involved Your family also works there Short commute to work Work with other people all day long Work by yourself all day long The work is dangerous but also exciting A car is provided

Post your top two negative and top two positive incentives on the discussion board and explain your choices. Be sure to re-visit the discussion board to see how your classmates responded. Do you see any results that are different than yours? Why do you think that is?
