Career Video Surprises

The first video I watched was for a lawyer. I wasn't really surprised at any of the information given because it was relatively routine, for example they mentioned long and irregular hours, i had already made that assumption. The second video i watched was for a paralegal/legal assistant. i was a little more unsure about all of what was entailed with this career therefore i heard more things i didn't know would be apart of this job. I learned that paralegals mainly do the same things as lawyers do aside from a few things such as being able to try cases in court. i learned that they are in no way allowed to give legal advice either. Thirdly i found that they do a lot of work for the lawyers such as writing up reports for them and researching things for them. The third video i watched was for a legal secretary. I was a little more surprised at this video than the other two. I found that legal secretaries are the ones to get paper work such as subpoenas and motions ready. i knew they handled paper work but i didn't know they handled those types. I learned that they sometimes spend hours in law libraries doing things such as citing quotations. I also saw that legal secretaries are very important to a legal team, i knew they were important but i didn't realize how much work they really do and how indispensable to a legal team they really are.

I don't feel like my work ethics survey "guided" me towards any certain career; it gave me a better idea than i had before though. I basically looked through the choices of possible careers it gave me and looked more into what sounded interesting. The first thing i looked at that i actually had an interest in was a paralegal. that was one of the careers i chose to do my career plan on. I also chose a trial lawyer to do. I did the trial lawyer for an education plan because that in particular caught my interest. My career cluster at first didn't match what i "wanted" but because I didn't really have a great idea of what i wanted to do anyways, I just sort of went with it. And it also occurred to me that my results weren't the end all, be all of figuring out what career I want. I guess the main selling point on my number one career was that I'd be able to be involved in cases in court but i wouldn't get to, to involved in the politics of lawyers, yet I'd still have a real good taste of it. I chose the colleges i did because they are located in places i would want to be. I chose University of Toledo because i liked the program description and as i mentioned before, i could see myself staying in this place- at least for my college years. I chose a college in Georgia because i would really like to relocate myself down south at some point. I honestly to see myself in the scenario I've created with my colleges and career choice so far. I might change my mind at some point in time but for right now this seems like a total possibility for me.

My Movie Project

My favorite part about the project was watching everyone's end results. A lot of people had some very funny creative videos.
I don't really have a favorite part of my video...I didn't get to quite finish): My project just ended up frustrating me more or less unfortunately.
The most challanging part of my video was finding pictures. I had so much trouble finding pictures that would work for my book.
If i could change something about my project i would have been a little less picky about the picture choosing process. That really created some problems for me...for example: being short on time to finish at all...
Overall I disliked the project. I think I dislike it because I, persoanlly, had some trouble with it. Maybe if i had choosen a different book or something i would've enjoyed the project a little bit more.
