Dear Class:

First, while I take roll, please open a new document and title it: "Teenage Sells App". Read this Article: Teenager Sells App For $40 Million And Why You Should Care Why does the author title it this way? What are the implications for you in today's society? Does this apply to your parents? Why or Why not?

Go to Occupations "Reality Check". Go to CIS, Occupations tab, Which Occupations match my preferences, and then "Reality Check". Plug in the appropriate parts and money and run it. See which job you would need to support that type of lifestyle. Post three jobs that you would need to support this money. Are any of these jobs ones you had chosen for yourself? Does this make you want to change your focus for education and careers?
