What are we learning today?
The uses of spreadsheets and how having this skill can help you get a job.
61,000 jobs require knowing how to use spreadsheets. Go to  http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-spreadsheet and look at your monitor number.
Go to that number's page and find one job that needs spreadsheets.
You will need to give the name of the job and a sentence that DESCRIBES the job.
For example: If you are sitting at monitor 20, go to page 20 and pick one job from that page.
