UNIT 2: CAREERS AND PLANNING
Section 1: Its about YOU
I CAN:
Distinguish a job vs an occupation vs a career; salary vs income
Define: Standard of living and Productivity
Job vs. Occupation vs. Career
A Task you complete
Occupation
Career
A category of work which includes many related jobs
A lifetime journey of building and making good use of your skills, knowledge, and experiences
Job
Salary or Income
The total amount your business pays you BEFORE taxes, insurance, union dues, etc The number on your
contract or advertised hourly wage
This is what banks, loan officers, etc are looking for
The amount you take home. Usually 75% of your salary. The number on your
check or that is actually deposited into your account
This is what should matter to YOU
Salary (AKA WAGES) Income
Productivity
How much can you do in a given amount of time Is influenced by salary
EX: if you mow lawns and receive $30 per lawn, you’ll try to cut as many lawns as possible. Whereas, if you mow lawns, but are paid $60 daily regardless of how many lawns are mowed, are you going to mow lots of lawns?
Brainstorm real life examples of this with your table
Standard of Living
Minimum standard conditions you want in your life My standard of living includes: a 3
bedroom/2 bath home, activities for my kids, netflix, wifi, 2 cars, a smart phone, etcI would consider my family to be “struggling” if we didn’t have this minimum standard.
Someone else might include a maid or nanny, not having to work, fine dining… This is completely up to the individual
