When I first got out of college, I would earn a starting salary of around $58,000, but as I became more experienced, I could earn a salary of up to around $163,000.]]> 2020-04-08 16:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/499100636 What does it take to become a software engineer? d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/499101692 In order to become a software engineer, I would need to spend four years at college in order to get a degree in software engineering.

I chose this apartment because it is in Chicago, which is a city I am relatively familiar with and will probably have a low commute, and it has everything I need when I'm at home, or I need to work from home. ]]> 2020-04-08 17:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/499157804 Why do I want to live there? d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/499193617 The things that this house has which are important to me are a bathroom, so that I can maintain good hygiene, a kitchen, so that I can cook my own food if I need to, and a bedroom, so that I have somewhere to sleep, and somewhere to work if I have to work from home.]]> 2020-04-08 17:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/499193617 What type of car do I want? d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500697815 I chose the 2018 Chevrolet Volt, which costs $33,220, and has a monthly payment of $735.]]> 2020-04-09 14:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500697815 Why do I want this car? d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500715123 I chose the 2018 Chevrolet Volt because it seemed relatively cheap, until I actually looked at how it would fit into my budget, and it has a very good fuel economy, which I find important because it means I can spend less money on gas.]]> 2020-04-09 15:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500715123 How did my career choice line up with my choice of apartment and car?

  • Tight deadlines can cause stress
  • It requires a decent amount of schooling

Is there anything I can start doing in high school? d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500798656 I have learned that I need to make sure I know my budget before I decide what I want to buy and making sure I know how to code in multiple languages instead of just one. I can start working on these goals in high school by selecting personal finance and computer programming as some of my electives.]]> 2020-04-09 15:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500798656 d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500823663 2020-04-09 15:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500823663 Bibliography d25calvin6272 https://padlet.com/d25calvin6272/rbbkxcx88fwu/wish/500825310 “Career Cruising.”,“Computer Software Engineer”,Careercruising.Com, 2019, www2.careercruising.com/careers/profile-at-a-glance/640
