  5. It starts all the way back here, at the beginning of talking about it. You should be listening for ways into the assignment based on the book and discussion.

Great reading assignment Mr. Peters. Every college student should read this chapter (The Untouchables) and pause to consider their education and career plan.

I Agree. This chapter has a lot to do with the article in the Yakima Herald the other day, about the two students who were worried about not getting a job after finishing all that schooling. It’s good to know what jobs will be in demand after finishing college, and therefore what career plan to pursue.
