O*Net Stretch
We used O*Net to research a career of your choice. Now you
will try to research a career from EACH of the 16 clusters. We call
this a stretch because you may not be interested in some job
clusters but you must try to find at least one job in each for
which you may someday be qualified or feel would fit your
personality, values, or skills. Be open to looking at new things!
