The Task

You have learned many skills this semester that you will be able to use in the future.  But why wait?  Let’s put those skills to use so you can see where your future plans can take you!

You will use a series of videos, interactives, and websites to help you complete all of the following:

  • Choose an entry level job and research its salary and benefits.
  • Create a budget based on the entry level job you have found using real figures.
  • Determine how much money you can potentially save or invest each month.
  • Create an investment portfolio of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
  • Determine how much money you could potentially save and/or invest in 5 years, in 10 years, and in 20 years.
