"Would You Rather?" Careers — Chapter Schools

🎯 How it works: For each dilemma, circle which option YOU would prefer. You MUST choose one — no "both" or "neither"! After each round your teacher will ask a few people to share and explain their choice. There are no right or wrong answers.

Facilitator script: Read each dilemma aloud. Count hands for each option. Pick 2–3 students to explain their choice. After 10 dilemmas, ask: "Looking at your answers, what patterns do you notice about what you want from a job?"
