I was able to afford the car, but if I were payed the medium salary, I wouldn't be able to afford the house. Maybe if I was paid on the higher end of the salary I could.
~What were the main pros and cons for this job?
Pro: It is well paying. There are lots of job openings. I would enjoy it.
Cons: Additional year of school. Wouldn't be able to work right after college. wouldn't be able to afford the apartment.
~If you change your mind on careers, what are three other careers you could do with your degree or experience?
Pediatric nursing.  Orthopedic doctor. Orthodontist. 
~ I would rather have a low paying job yet love it because I would rather enjoy my job everyday and still be able to come home to some sort of car and house even if it's not the one I want
~What have you learned about yourself through this webquest?
I have learned that I would definetly do something medical in the future and that my future and budgeting will be a lot harder than I thought.
~Looking forward to the future what are some areas you will need to focus on, skills you will need to improve, and changes you will need to make in order to reach your goals?
I will need to focus on saving up my money and not spending it on things I don't need. I will start a job as soon as I can do I can save as soon as I can.
