Alone or with a partner, choose three IT jobs to investigate on the web. You should take notes about what you find and write down the URLs of interesting pages you find so that you can create links from your personal webpage. Also, take good notes so that you can share the results with your team.

As you look for information about a career, think about why you might be interested in pursuing that career, what kind of math background you would need for that career, and how you might prepare for that career. Look for information about job responsibilities, salary, things that would be fun about the job, things that might not be so fun, and anything else that is important to you. When you design your webpage, include a section about the jobs that you learned about and why they interest you.

Here are some links to help you get started:

Job Descriptions

Salary Information

Also, you can use Google (www.google.com), which is a great search engine for finding information on the web. For example you could enter "computers jobs salary" as your keywords, and Google will return pages that match your keywords.
