Assumptions

o Principal, Interest, Prop Tax & Insurance will be 28% of Gross Income
o House is a family's biggest expense and a reasonable indication of lifestyle.
 PROBLEMS

WASTE OF MONEY
 Suggestions Before
Starting
1. Don't select a career based solely on $$$.
2. Do pick a career for which jobs are available with income
levels adequate to meet your family's financial needs.
3. Don't expect a quick, easy answer. The career planning
process requires time and effort. Invest the time to
identify/evaluate careers that "fit" your needs, interests and
abilities.
4. Do use a variety of tools and talk to several people in each
career of interest.
5. Don't get discouraged or discredit the process when some
obviously unacceptable careers appear on a list generated by
an interest assessment tool (they will). Career planning is not
a precise science. Reason and judgment must be applied.
 Suggestions Before
Starting
Do think about the process as a way to significantly improve
your odds (with no guarantee) of selecting a great career. The
following table is my rough estimate of how your odds for
choosing a great or "perfect" career improve by making an
informed decision.
Random Gut Informed
Decision Feel Decision
Perfect Career 1% 5% 20%
Great Career 4% 20% 50%
Acceptable Career 60% 50% 20%
Terrible Career 35% 25% 10%
For example, I estimate that your probability of selecting a "perfect career is about
1% if you make a random decision vs. 20% if you make an informed decision.
