Financial Responsibility Project
OK.. its time to be all grown up. Use the links below to find a job. Now here are your rules. You need to pretend you are a high school graduate - about 19 years old - you are looking for a full time job in the Texoma area (Vernon, Wichita Falls, etc. NOT Oklahoma). While most of you plan to go to college and get a degree.. for this assignment, you will not have a degree -- therefore, you will not be able to find a job as a Doctor or Lawyer or even a Teacher. And the salary you should be looking at will be in the $10/hour range. Before you print off your job description and put it in your Finance Folder you need to get your job approved by me. (this will be graded - so don't goof off).

Now, I want you to use the links below to look for a place to live. You will not have a whole lot of credit build up yet.. so renting an apartment or a house or even a trailer will work best for you. Later you will be using this information to figure out your monthly budget for utilities, etc. You can find a place and have roommates. Print out the living arrangements and make sure to include the square footage, bedrooms, the monthly rent, deposit fees, application fees, and any other expenses (and put it in your folder)… No, you can not live with your parents.
For this part of the assignment - you can work with groups (roommates). However, you can not have more than 3 roommates. (each roommate has their own room - no sharing BEDS). Another thing to think about.. if you get a job in Vernon.. but your apartment is in Henrietta.. that will be quite a long drive to work each day... and later we will be using this information to calculate how much gas you will spend going to work.. so think about it. (this will be graded)
