In this lesson you will:
- Discover that people make choices because they cannot produce everything they want to consume; they must specialize in something..
- Name several service occupations in the community.
 |
A service is something someone does for you or someone else. Do you get your hair cut by a barber? Have you ever had a plumber at your house? Do you know someone who likes to teach? Those are people who perform a service! |

| Most people like lots of jobs. They may want to be a pilot, a doctor, a dentist, a rodeo performer, or a veterinarian. But it is better for the whole community if you just make a choice between all those jobs! That is called SPECIALIZATION. It means you have a job that matches your skills and strengths! |  |
