MI Chapter 13

This chapter describes several different professions and explains what multiple intelligences are connected to each. One point that this chapter brought up is that exposing students to just one or two careers at an early age is detrimental to their future career choice.  By giving students a variety of careers to explore, they are not locked into focusing on one multiple intelligence area and can instead choose a career that encompasses multiple intelligences. I think the list of careers and multiple intelligences associated with them will be helpful in guiding students to select careers that they are not only interested in, but also allow them to use more than one of their intelligences.  I think it might be interesting to have students use the lists and create some kind of product that compares their intelligences to those that each career they are interested in requires.
