The document provides instructions for a personal finance management assignment to calculate the costs of pursuing a chosen career. Students are asked to choose a college and list expenses for each year of study, including costs of housing, transportation, tuition, books, food and other expenses. They should then estimate total college costs by multiplying annual costs by years of study. Additionally, students should research scholarships, loans and estimate college debt upon graduation. All cost information should be presented clearly in a table or spreadsheet.
