It also has a 30 minute Interest Profiler that helps students explore vocations based on their interests. The Work Importance Profiler helps students explore their values in the workplace: achievement, independence, relationships, support and working conditions. All of these assessments are free of charge. There is a fun section called Reality Check that helps students explore their preferred lifestyle and how much it would cost. It provides salary information based on level of education and career choice. The Reality Check section makes an interesting demonstration for classroom use and helps students understand the cost of living and the importance of education in achieving their preferred lifestyle.
