Classroom Jobs

At a school training this week, I was asked to challenge my students and to help them make goals for their future. One way that was mentioned to do this was to rename my Classroom Jobs to jobs found in the real world. This will expose them to multiple options for their future. I have to admit that I did not come up with all of the names for the jobs. 2 other teachers at my school, Anne Stovall and Amy Gibbons came up with most of them, I tweaked a few for my own preferences. Here are the jobs we came up with.
