Reflect on the required readings and on the research you have done for this course thus far as well as the experience you have had at your internship.  Consider where you see yourself professionally three years from now and the steps you will take to get there.  Make sure your final goal and your steps to reach it are as specific and realistic as possible. Please use the following questions to guide your journal response. The content from this response will be integrated into your final presentation.

• What position do you see yourself holding three years from now?
• Will you be employed at the same organization where you got your first job after graduation or somewhere else?  How might your role or responsibilities have changed in three years? Are there other professional activities, leadership roles, service engagements that you hope to be engaged in at this point in your career?
• What steps do you need to take in order to obtain your three-years out position? Be as specific as possible in defining these steps!  You might consider:
  • Are there other jobs you will need to have before you can hold this position (if so, which)? 
  •  Do you have to complete more school or certifications?
