Persuasive Communication to Build Consensus

While I was at work I tried to complete this assignment with a few of my co-workers. Some of them came up with interesting answers. To have a less desirable job for a lot of money, some of the answers were: a teacher, lawyer, daycare provider, human resources, and a computer engineer. The "passion" jobs for a lot less money that were mentioned: to work with dolphins (I really thought that was interesting), secretary (that I did not get), a coach (sports), an office manager, and a police officer. When one would hear someone else's answer for the question some answers were changed, as if the other's was a better one. In the end, the less desirable job, which took a couple trials to come up with, ended up being the lawyer. The "passion" job for a lot less money was an office manager. The only man in the group was the only one that did not agree with this. He wanted to stay with being a coach for his "passion" job and thought that none of the other positions would have been worth it.
