Do You Need a Reality Check?

After high school you will need to work to pay for housing, transportation, clothes, food, insurance, etc. You'll need money and an occupation. Maybe now is the time for that reality check. Below are three different ways to search for careers:

1. Don't know how much money you will need to earn in the future? Don't know which occupation to choose? Pick a California city and then create a sample budget by finding out how much you will spend each year by buying "stuff" for a sample month. Then you can search careers that will allow you to live the lifestyle you want. Start by clicking here.
2. Already know how much money you want to earn? Click here and use the "Future Salary" career search option to find occupations that will allow you to earn the salary you want.
3. Already know what you want to do? Click here to select an occupation, then create a sample monthly budget based on the salary you are likely to earn doing that job.

When you are done, come back to CaliforniaColleges.edu to search for colleges and majors that will allow you to pursue the career you want!
