Careers to Paycheck

Liz Skillern
I teach a Senior Portfolio course where students do a career research project and present it to the class. What I want to try this semester is to have the students find an actual job in that area, determine the salary, and then create a budget from that salary. Once a week, students would "write checks" to pay their bills for their apartment, car, insurances, groceries, possibly student loans, etc. They would keep a check register online that they could share with me via Google Classroom. This way I could incorporate budgeting, paychecks, insurance, and taxes all in the same unit.
