Dear Class:

• Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
• Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
• Understand the value of self-assessments

You created a doc called "My_Job"  We finalized taking screen shots of the comparisons in the three areas of  Skills/Work Importance Locator/Interest Profiler plus the Meyers Briggs and Character.

This is exploratory on your side.  I want to see you looking a jobs.  Things happen...your life changes.  I want to see one specific occupation and two backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of one paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.  Remember, the amount of pay is "median" and not top or low.  See Attorneys' fees article for Portland attorney fees.

We will watch a short article on the integration of personality tests and job applications here.
I want you to have a reason for you to have looked at these tests as a whole to refine a job search.

Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.
Salary Based Budget ~ Follow the slide tutorial found in:

Will My Job Support Me?  a.k.a  Salary Based Budgeting

Complete a monthly budget for a minimum wage earner. You will select one of the following jobs and look up the beginning annual wage on slide 3/Step 2 of the tutorial: waiter/waitress/dishwasher; lawn mower, babysitter/ child care worker, barista, retail clerk, gas station attendant, laborer.

We will do this together in class.
