Can't decide who to job shadow?
Okay so I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have to do a project where I have to job shadow someone in a career field that I'm interested. Well, I have two offers and I can't decide which to do.
The first one is job shadowing a local book publisher. I'm interested in this because I absolutely look books/reading and would love to have a future career involving them somehow, so I thought this would be an interesting thing to learn about and see if I'm interested.
THe other option I have is to job shadow someone from UCR who works in the international students department. I love foreign languages, culture, etc., and also think this would be extremely interesting. Over the summer I volunteered at a college with foreign exchange students and had a great time. I'm not entirely sure what I would classify this career as, though.
I love both ideas and would love to do both as my project, but I can only do one, and I'm not sure which is the right choice. I know I can still probably do them without doing it for my project, but I just can't decide which to do for my project. Any advice? Opinions?

The purpose with job shadowing and this assignment is to find out more, in this instance, about careers that interest you. If you have more than one interest and the time to properly job shadow those interest and still write a proper report? Then I suggest you do so.
The assignment is to write a report about a about job shadowing someone in a career fields that interests you. This does not mean you have to pick just one career field to job shadow to write the report. Neither does it mean if you do pick just one career field to job shadow that your report has to be a positive report.
I Remember when I was your age we went up to the vo-tech high school to tour. I was my intention to spend the day in one area only to find that career did not meet my expectations. I was given the opportunity to go into another area I had not given much thought about only to find this was an area I preferred.
Since I had selected one area to tour my report on that area was in the negative I ended my report with I had found an area more to my liking and would be looking more into that area as a career field. If I remember correctly I not only received a fairly good grade for the report but my report was used as an example of why we are sent to the vo-tech school for tours even if we did not intend to transfer there for High School.
Short answer to your question. Job shadow as many jobs as you can handle and still have enough time to right a proper report. In your report you can say that you had two careers that interested you and job shadowed both in order to write your report. Then if the career you thought you wanted changed because of your job shadowing you can explain or just explain how your job shadowing of your first choice cemented your decision.
