#elaconf#cyoaChoose Your Own (Career)
Adventure!The Setup○ You have 9 possible lives, each with a different
job/career.
○ It can be a job/career that doesn’t exist yet (did your current job exist 5-10 years ago?).
○ In none of these lives have you happened upon lots of money - you must earn a living. Whatever that dollar amount is, it’s enough for you to live comfortably.
The ChoiceChoose what 9 jobs you would have and describe them in as much detail as possible.
