Part 5: Career Results Comparison

15. 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.
Based on my strengths, interests, and values three careers that would be
satisfying to me include biologist, soil and plant scientist, and environmental science
teachers, secondary. A career in biology will satisfy me because biologists study the
principles of animal and plant life, which requires one to be investigative, realistic, and
conventional. In addition, a career in soil and plant science will satisfy me because it
deals with studying, breeding, and planting new plants, which would require me to be
investigative but also artistic because I can use my creative side when it comes to
research while also needing to think logically. Finally, a career as an environmental
science teacher will satisfy me because I would teach people about environmental
science, which allows me to be social and artistic since I will deal with students who will
need a teacher who can teach them to think outside of the both and be creative.
