Discover the salary you need to fit your lifestyle!

The Wizard of Jobs is a reality check tool intended to give students an idea of how much it really costs to live the way they want to live. Using real Kansas and national pricing data, students make selections from various categories, including what type of home they want to live in, what their transportation situation would look like, etc. The Wizard of Jobs takes these selections and estimates how much the student needs to make in a year to maintain their lifestyle.

Note: After completing the Wizard of Jobs, head over to the VCC's Occupation Finder to find occupations that fit your salary needs!
