(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, So i have a compare and contrast paper do on careers i have to pick two careers and compare and contreast them!!! Im having a complete writers block and cant think of how to start it off and a good hook!

And the Careers are
Computer Network, Systems, and Database Administrators
Graphic Designers

I need to compare them and i dont know what a good hook would be and its a Informational paper so idk if i can ask a question as a hook?

Here's my outline Do you think its right?

Paragraph 1: Introduction (with Thesis)
Paragraph 2: Comparison a (Nature of the Work)
Paragraph 3: Comparison b (Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement)
Paragraph 4: Comparison c (Employment and Earnings)
Paragraph 5: Contrast a (Nature of the Work)
Paragraph 6: Contrast b (Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement)
Paragraph 7: Contrast c (Employment and Earnings)
Paragraph 8: Conclusion (with thesis)

"Both of these careers are perceived as geeky computer careers, but I'm going to dive down past this perception and divulge the similarities and differences for you, and tell you about how great these careers can actually be!"

-replace the underlined with chosen careers.

So do you think my outline is right? or should i compare both parts of the careers together? The reason i did my outline like that is because im going to write about each part!!!
