Activity: Web Article Review

THIS IS A TWO PART ASSIGNMENT

Listed below are three web sites where you could find such an article. In the case of the third site, typing "Careers in Sociology" in the search field led to this site. You could try this for any other type of career. You may use these sites or others that you find for the first part of the assignment.
