Build a comprehensive website with information about the job or profession you intend pursue when you graduate, using the skills you learned during the course.  Your webpage content should include a Job Description, Knowledge/Skills required for the job, Training/Education required for the job, and Salary/Benefits expected from the job. Use the following sources to conduct your research: Occupational Outlook Handbook:  or similar references.  Make sure that you explain the content (the paragraphs of information about your topic) yourself.  Do not simply copy content from other web pages.  Include citations to give credit to the source where you found the information you include on your website.  Your website should contain at least 4-6 paragraphs of information, arranged in a logical manner (using headings and sub-headings appropriately), and it should consist of at least 3 HTML pages.  The home page of your website must be named “LastFirstHomePage.html” where “Last” is your last name and “First” is your first name.  For example, if your name is John Smith, you would name your file SmithJohnHomePage.html.  You may name your other two HTML pages anything you like.  Name your CSS file “LastFirstStyleSheet.css” where “Last” is your last name and “First” is your first name.

Important Note: All files created for this assignment must be new files that you have not submitted for grading in previous weeks.  No credit will be given if your HTML file(s) and/or CSS file(s) are identical to any files that you have previously submitted!

Note: It is critical that you debug and fix ALL errors identified by these two code validators before submitting your assignments.  Contact your instructor for assistance if you are having difficulty debugging and fixing your errors because it is imperative that your code files pass validation.

Submission Instructions: Create a zip file containing all files related to your web page (.html files, .css file, image files, and/or multimedia files).  Make sure you maintain the necessary directory structure in your zip file so that your webpages will view correctly when unzipped.  In other words, if your images are in a sub-folder on your computer, in relation to the folder containing your .html file, then you need to maintain that same directory structure in your zip file, too.  Submit only the zip file for grading.
