AAUW-Prescott\u2019s Community Action Experiential Event<\/h1>\n\n\n

This event, \u201cThe Reality Store\u00ae\u201d, is targeted at girls and boys, 7th grade and up through high school. At The Reality Store\u00ae, students select a career and learn the monthly salary of that job. Then they enter \u201cThe Reality Store\u201d where they will spend their salary by making housing, clothing, transportation, entertainment and many other choices that they envision as part of their adult lifestyle. This event helps students learn the real cost of living and whether their occupation will provide the type of lifestyle they expect and want. If not, what could they do differently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the next Reality Store activity: January 14th, 2025, Tuesday, 8:30-12:30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Besides learning the costs of maintaining their expected lifestyle, they also attend workshops on Job Interviewing, financing college, and what\u2019s it like to be a college student. They are encouraged to develop themselves and their personal skills in order to be more valuable in the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants learn how their type of job affects how much money they’ll make and the amount of money they make determines their lifestyle. They often express surprise at how much it costs to live relative to the wages that they could earn as a 25-year-old in Yavapai County and they are shocked at the amount of taxes that would be taken out of their paychecks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
