Requirement

8. One mining career, researched properly

Required

Training and education needed, costs, job prospects, salary, duties and advancement. Research methods may include, with your parent or guardian's permission, an internet or library search, an interview with a professional, or a visit to a workplace.

Notes and warnings

Note. Three research methods are offered and you may use any of them: an internet or library search, an interview with a professional, or a visit to a workplace where people do this job. The internet route needs your parent or guardian's permission. Whichever you use, the requirement asks for training and education, costs, job prospects, salary, duties AND career advancement, which is six things.
