1. In my situation, this is a sense of scarcity in both my field of major and job opportunity
because of the limited resources I have in pursuing my goals. The opportunity cost for
me is especially focused on time and money, however, in the end I will be able to make
up for the money, and time will be spent but not wasted. The choices I make will later
reflect on my life, and the choice for hard work will mirror my success.

2. To me, costs and benefits are equally as important. I do not believe that the cost to do
something should outweigh your outcome, in simple, your outcome has to be greater
than the work you put in. Because after spending all your effort and time on a goal, you
should not expect anything less than what you’ve strived for. For me, sacrificing my time
towards education will cost me time and money, but in the end, I will come out
successful, and will be the most impactful decision of my life.

3. With the costs and benefits from the chart, attending college would be the choice that I
take. Taking into consideration the cost, it will be well worth the risk and benefits that will
come later. By spending time to further my education, I am able to find jobs that can
make me financially independent. And my experience in a part-time job will help me deal
with real-world problems and how I function under pressure. And with the potential
income, I can own a personal vehicle that enables me to travel freely and to discover the
world. That is why I will work hard, and make sacrifices in order to attend college.
