Ms. Nakada's Virtual Classroom: Day 38

Agenda:
Check-in
10-Year Plans: Budget and Career Salaries 

HW: Last week of reading journals! RJ 18.1 Read for 20-30 minutes. 

Happy Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in our Poetry Slam today. I'm so impressed by all of the poetry you all produced this spring. If you are ok with your poems being shared on the Emerson website please let me know!

 Check-in: What is your dream college? 

 OK, so if you haven't thought about your ten-year plan, start by thinking about where you want to live and what you want to be doing with your life. 
Ten-Year Plan

Where do you see yourself? 
How old are you? 
Where are you living? 
What are you doing for a living? 

How much does your life cost per month? 
 
Housing (rent):
utilities (water/power):
internet/cable:
food: 
phone: 
car payment:
car insurance:
gas:
student loans:
entertainment/travel:
shoes/clothing: 
savings:
childcare:


Can you afford the life you imagine?

California minimum wage is $13.00 an hour so 40 hours a week = $520 a week x 4 = $2080. $2080 x 12 = $24960
subtract taxes = 2080 - 300 = $1780

What is the average starting salary for the job you want? (Use the 90% make amount)
If you aren't sure what job you want, use Naviance. You can log on to Naviance with your Schoology sign in information. 

Naviance is a great tool for careers, colleges, and future planning. 

Check out a college you might want to attend. What are the requirements? Cost? Compare and contrast a few college options. 

Tomorrow we will think about what you plan to do in high school in order to prepare for the college you want to attend. See you then!
