- I couldn’t afford the house, but I could afford the car.
- I would have to find a cheaper house, but I have an idea of how much it would have to be.
What were the main pros and cons for this job?
- Pros: doing something I like, I was working with kids, and I was on my feet and not on a desk all day long - - Cons: didn’t pay well, hard to find a good school, and it seemed really hard to think of things to do everyday.
If you change your mind on careers, what are three other careers you could do with your degree or experience?
- I could become a counselor, school psychologist, and child life specialist.
Would you rather have a job you like and not make a lot, or a job you hate and make a lot?
- I would rather have the job I wanted and be happy because I can always find a smaller house, or a roommate. I can also walk to work everyday, and not use the car a lot if needed.

- I have learned that it is much harder to find an apartment or condo with what you want for the price you want. I thought that finding a job would be hard, that part is the easiest. I also learned about myself as I am pretty good at budgeting out my money. I was very close to my salary in the ending balance.
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?  Is there anything you can start doing in high school?
- I need to focus on when I find a job, where I would like to move and how much money I can spend on the apartment or car. I also need to find a job that I really want to do. I still haven’t decided what I am when I grow up, so that is what I mainly have to do in high school.
