1. Make a list of the top five things you expect from your first (or next) full-time job.

2. Exchange lists with a nearby partner. Assign probabilities

(or odds) to each goal on your partner’s list to indicate how likely you feel it is that the goal can be accomplished. (Note: Your instructor may ask that everyone use the same probabilities format.)

3. Discuss your evaluations with your partner. Try to delete superficial goals or modify them to become more substantial. Try to restate any unrealistic goals to make them more realistic. Help your partner do the same.

4. Form a group of four to six persons. Within the group, have everyone share what they now consider to be the most “realistic” goals on their lists. Elect a spokesperson to share a sample of these items with the entire class.

5. Discuss what group members have individually learned from the exercise. Await further class discussion led by your instructor.
