If it doesn’t, describe what steps you will take to deal with this situation. If you will have excess income, discuss what this will mean for your future.

1.  Compare the annual salary you will need to live in Houston to the salary you would need to live the same lifestyle in two other cities. Use the information your financial assignment and the CNN Money Calculator. Discuss the differences in the cost of living in the two other locations versus the cost of living in Houston. Identify and report the largest percentage differences between the cities. Discuss whether family, groceries, housing or transportation are significant factors. Discuss whether your career is dependent upon location. Based upon your analysis, write a final statement that explains where might you decide to live.

1.  Think about how you can help your community as you learn the transferable “soft skills” employers find valuable as you study. Find two placeswhere you could possibly volunteer in the future that could use the skills you will acquire from studying and working in your profession.  Use the information you found at http://Volunteermatch(dot)org or another volunteer website to write this paragraph.  List the two places and explain what type of help they are requesting. Finally, explain how this volunteer experience could help you build your professional network.
