Imagine that you are choosing a college major.
Your major affects two things:
- the cost of completing your degree, and
- the career opportunities available to you after graduation.
When you graduate, some parts of the labor market may be stronger than others.
Safety net: You will always have access to General Employment,
worth 50 career points, even if no specialized career opportunity becomes available.
The degrees, career markets, and points in this activity are stylized. You will see the real-world motivation after the game.
