A good career for me would be a bricklayer. Bricklayers make a lot of money but

it's also a lot of work. It's a job that most people wouldn't necessarily enjoy but on the

other hand you would make a lot of money, about $14-$18 an hour. (WOIS p ) A quote

from my sister who works at Big Kmart is, "People work at jobs they don't enjoy just so

they can make a lot of money." I think I could do the job well. Three reasons I think I

it really depends on what exactly you are doing (WOIS p ). I could work long hours, that

is another reason why I'd be good at my job. Most people would hire you for the job if
