This semester, I am am taking a course on sociology of occupations. The final project for the class is a 12 to 15 page term paper in which we are required to complete two occupational interviews. The interviews are very inclusive and are designed to last anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes in length. After the interviews, I am to compare and contrast the way the two individuals feel about and perceive their work.
These required interviews are fantastic material for this blog! Although the occupational interviews are much longer than the standard "5 questions," I think the material is very relevant.
As this is an official study in sociology, our professor has suggested that the interview subjects remain anonymous. Many of the questions on my interview protocol are quite telling and personal. Therefore, I won't reveal their names or any specific information.
Stay tuned to read about my LONGGGG interviews with individuals in the two occupations I chose.
For the teachers:
1. Describe the perfect and not-so-perfect day on the job.
2. What do you think is the biggest misconception about teachers?
3. Are there times that you have considered switching careers? (**Did you know that over 50 percent of Americans say they would choose a different career if they could do it all over again?**)
4. How do you define success?
The first interview will be with a teacher, so I've been checking out these blogs to get a little insight:
Please help me with this preliminary research!
