I decided to center this board on occupations and education, while keeping the Pokemon theme ongoing. For the top/beginning tier of sheets, I talked about different interests, and included a picture of a stage 1 versions of certain Pokemon. In the middle/intermediate tier of sheets, I included different types of education, i.e College of Engineering, Math, & Science; College of Business, Industry, Life Science, & Agriculture; College of Liberal Arts & Education; and non-traditional means of learning (all with different interests/majors linked to their specific categories). I touched on this last one because I felt that it was necessary to talk about how there are jobs that can come from education outside of a traditional 4-year degree program. This tier of sheets all had their respective stage 1 Pokemon’s evolutionary items, required to evolve them to their stage 2 forms present, except for the sheet on non-traditional means of learning. I felt as though the Pokemon linked to traditional learning should be ones with evolutionary items required, and the non-traditional would be a Pokemon that didn’t require an evolutionary item, this being indicative to the lack of necessity for a traditional degree for those with interests that would lead to non-traditional learning. For the lower/final tier of sheets, I had lists of possible jobs that could come from these different education types, plus the stage 2 versions of the used Pokemon. The title is in reference to the fact that we are all in that middle tier, all being affected by our choice in education, and all in the process of “evolving” into our career paths. Hopefully this board can be recognized for the hard work I put into researching for it.
