Question #1

Discuss three (3) careers in which knowledge of child development is important. For each career, discuss what type of child development knowledge you believe would be important to know. Be specific in your response in describing the kind of child development knowledge needed to be successful at this career. In your writing of these careers, you will need to tell me a little bit about the career (e.g., responsibilities of the job) and tell me about the type of educational background one needs to obtain to be successful in this career (e.g., is a bachelor’s degree in Psychology sufficient, or does one have to get a specialized degree, Master’s, or certification, etc.). You should discuss the types of research/internship/job opportunities that will help in being successful in this career. Does one of these careers appeal to you – relate to your own aspirations and interests. You must cite 3 references, one for each career you discuss.
