Learning Target: I can use data and information to explain how my choices determine who I will become.
The Scenario: You have the opportunity to raise your child in either Cape Elizabeth or Rumford. One parent is a chemical engineer and the other a nurse. Your yearly income will be dependent on where you take your jobs: if you take your jobs in Cape Elizabeth, your joint income will be $175,000; if you take your jobs in Rumford, your income will be $125,000. Whichever town you live in, you will have enough money to get by fairly comfortably. However, your child will have very different experiences in each town.
