The Giver #4 - Best Job Ever

Fourth Blog Post Gentlemen,
I changed what we talked about just slightly to make it a bit more fun!

Task #1
First, go to Paws in Jobland (click the link) and click Job Finder to see what jobs are best for you.  Then go to Jobland and look at the areas highlighted for you.  When you choose a highlighted place it will list some jobs you might like.  Look through the jobs and watch a couple slideshows to see what you would be doing for that job. 

Task #2
Make a list of the jobs you liked the best out of the ones suggested for you.  Then post your job on the blog and tell why you think you would be best for that job. 

Have fun!  PS, I can't wait to see what you guys choose!
