Each career you choose to research must have (1) its own heading. Each question (2) must be numbered
according to the numbers in the question list and (3) must be bold.
Since you will be using outside resources, your project will require a works cited page. Since your

cited page as you conducted your research. Make sure you use reliable resources for your information.
