Using income from a future job that you
are planning on having after graduating from college, construct a budget.
Searching for a job: Using a daily newspaper
or an online search engine, find the monthly income/salary which will be used
as your income in your personal budget.
Some useful job search websites: Monster (www.monster.com),
Career Builder (www.careerbuilder.com), and Jobs (www.jobs.com).
Additional information can be found at the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics (http://stats.bls.gov/oco/home.htm).
You may also take the research above to
confirm and/or project what you should be earning if you intend to use your
current job to complete this assignment.
Use the Personal Budget spreadsheet to enter
your income from your current job or the income from the job that you are
planning on having, then enter the rest of the details based on this personal
income (expenses, spending, etc.).
Write a short paper (two page maximum, double
spaced, APA format) on your job and budget; it should include the following as
a minimum:
·
a job description;
·
reasons why you would
like to have his job;
·
a salary; and
·
a discussion and
explanation of how this dream job will or will not help you achieve your
personal goals based on the outcome of your budget.
