Cost/Benefi
t Analysis
and
Alternatives

How will you acquire

that human capital?
I will acquire the
human capital by
diligently completing
engineering school.
Also, I will have to
apply to many
internships. Use the
resources that EOP
and my school gets

have to compete in
engineering
competitions to
increase my chance of
getting a job. On top of
it all I will have to take
the Fundamentals of
Engineering exam in
the next couple of
years. The test would
probably cost around
$225 and the study

Also, I would have to

take a specific amount of
units to study abroad.

since, upperclassmen
are the only ones
allowed to be in the
suites. Being the lead for

me to be an exceptional
student with a high GPA.

capital by completing
engineering school with a
bachelor's degree then Ill
take the Fundamentals of
Engineering Exam to
qualify for the entry level
position.

How will you acquire that

human capital?

What trade-offs will you

need to make among
different alternatives?
The condo would be a
trade off in which I can get
a apartment for much less
even though the rent will
go up each month. Ill
probably also have a
roommate so that much of
the expenses will be paid
off and I could take the
bus depending on when

What trade-offs will you

different alternatives?

I will have the human

capital I received from
previous years. In

to plan for parenthood

do?
The costs are money
and study materials. The
benefits is a pay raise
and the ability to "sign"
legal plans from
architects. The
alternative would be to
remain at the same
position.
The cost for having kids
is that I will need to add
expenses to take care of
them depending on how
many I get. Also, many
of the funds would go
towards them instead of
me personally. The
benefit is that they are a
bundle of joy to be
around. The alternative
would be adoption.

The cost of going on

vacation is the expenses
that I would have to take
out of my savings.
Including, the flight, hotel
per night, attractions,
food, restaurants, etc.
The benefit is that I
could see the world from

would be that I would

consistent pay. An
alternative would be that I
become an intern or, sign
up with a temp agency.
