"Take" in this context is used to identify or give an example of something. It often either follows "for example", or is placed right before the phrase "for example". Ex: Dogs are great pets. Take my dog for example, he is very well-behaved. Ex: Not all jobs that require a degree pay a good salary. Take teachers for example, they make barely anything.
