Part 5: Career Results Comparison

Review the career lists provided at the end of each survey. Identify three careers that are
similar across the lists. List the careers and explain why each career may be satisfying to you
citing evidence from your survey results.

Three careers I may be interested in based off this list are landscape architect, sales engineer,
and real estate agent. These careers seem pretty interesting to me and are pretty similar
especially sales engineers and real estate agents because they both focus on selling to people
though what you are selling is very different. Landscape architect seems interesting to me
because I feel like I would be good at designing certain things like houses or buildings. Being a
sales engineer sounds like it could be a good career and I feel like I would be able to do a good
job selling things to people. Being a real estate agent also sounds like a good career choice for
me because I feel like I would be pretty good at it. I feel like I could do a good job at showing off
properties and helping people find the right property for them.
