We are currently in a future planning unit for social studies- as the end of the year draws closer, so does the time for choosing our year eleven options, and this unit allows us to have a closer look at our future careers. We had a list of things to investigate:
– Job Title
– Income Total
– Study Time & Cost
– Cost to own your chosen home – weekly rent or mortgage repayments.
– Furniture etc
– Monthly cost for Power, internet, water rates, –
– Weekly Food Cost
– Mobile Bill
– Car loan and repayments
– Children? No
– Clothing
– Eating Out?
– Life insurance
– House/contents insurance
– Planned Holiday
– Health Bill
– EXTRA- Hobbies
– Retirement Plan
This helped us gain an understanding, realistically, of the cost it takes to live comfortably in the modern world- it’s a lot. My job title was graphic designer as it incorporates a large number of the things I am interested in- drawing, rendering, computer graphics, adobe suite, creativity, ect. I am not sure if this is the career I will pursue, but for now it seems like something geared towards my interests. Below is the slideshow containing my research on the topic. I would like to note that many of the figures are estimated, and provide a framework as supposed to being 100% reliable.
