PURPOSE
An investigative essay is the writer’s attempt to share newly discovered information with his or her readers. 
Because the writer is sharing new information, the introduction and statement of purpose in an investigative essay needs to reflect this intention, which is to inform.. Rather than “inform” or readers about information that has been discovered and uncovered that is useful and applicable to the topic. 
For this essay, you will investigate a career with the ultimate goal of discovering information that is personally useful. Your approach to the topic will depend on what you need to find out.
. 
If you are new to college and still working on your “basics,” you may not know which career you will pursue in the future. This essay can help you identify a viable career path. If you have already selected a career, your investigation should focus on aspects of your career that have changed since your initial investigation
. 
If you already have a career, perhaps this essay will help you understand your current career, and all of its possibilities, more fully. Remember: this is a brief essay that requires a narrow, focused subject that is at once useful and practical.
