  6. Is this job for you? Why or why not?

____the parts I like about this job ___I like being able to go places, and being able to check out buildings and actually do other things than just sitting down on a computer. But there are thing I don’t like, like having to do math and stalks, and stuff like that. Id say the main thing that would be agitating, is waiting for clients to sign a contract. And then they don’t and don’t want the contract anymore and eave, that would make me so mad.__________________________________________________________________________________

  1. Explain the value of the TYKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post secondary (after high school) plans (education?, training?, travel?, work?).

__I say its to kind of know what you want to do or don’t want to do. And then kind of knowing what the day is like, and what you have to do and deal with on a daily basis. And having to deal with loss and not getting mad, like getting a deal through or not. And its important to know what job you want that will make you happy and have enough money to not die. And know what to work before like experience, to get a job you will be happy at. ________________________________________________________________________________________
