Tell Me About Your Jobs.

I have already found three people, so I really need only two from here, the only place I could think of where I’d be able to easily find working adults. If you so much as mention what you do and five terms that you use, it should count, so it really won’t take long. I don’t have to do a, “real,” interview.

"Your building assignment for this lesson is to:

*

interview five adults about their profession or job
*
ask them for five technical terms that they use in their work
*
trace the etymology (word history) for each term
*
make a chart with the names, professions, technical terms with etymology, and definitions
*
last, but not least, write a thank you note to each of the five adults you interviewed"

I know it’s a completely retarded assignment, but I need to do every assignment or else I can’t pass this class. Five words shouldn’t be too big of a request, I think.
