Reality Check

1. For each box below you are going to choose one or more options for lifestyle expenses you might choose to have when you have your first full-time job after high school or college.

2. If the box says "Choose 1," then you would only choose one option.For example: for housing, choose the line that matches the type of housing you would like to have. If you want to rent a one-bedroom apartment, you would circle 5 next to this choice.

3. For boxes where you can choose more than one option, feel free to choose as many as you think you need or want. For example, for entertainment, if you plan to go out with friends in town and also take short vacations, you should circle the corresponding number next to both of these options for a total of five.

4. After you click "done" you'll get a score out of 94. The score is found below  the percentage at the top which you can ignore. Write that score down. Using the Reality Check Results Grid, find the column that matches your number of points and write down the salary range for that column in the box above.

Next, choose one or more occupations you might consider to achieve this salary.
