American Dream 101 is an intuitive real-life strategy game that is challenging and always changing. You will get unlimited opportunities to make real-life decisions in a variety of situations and on the way your game character can get an education, date, try out different careers, make money, buy a house, play sports, go shopping and travel the world! 

 

Introduction to Teens:  Where else can you be a teen again?  American Dream 101 is your opportunity to experience the challenges of being a teen today. 

Shared activity with your teen (Share-a-Life program):  Instead of complaining that your teens spend too much time on the Internet or playing video games, why not join them?  Parents and teens can cross the “generation gap” by exchanging roles with one another.  Parents live the teen years, then your kids live the same character’s Career years. 

College Awareness:  Your teen can apply to, attend, pay for and even drop out of College with American Dream 101.  More importantly, they can experience the real world value of a college education once they enter the job market and hopefully move out of your house!

Career Exploration:  One persons dream job is another person’s nightmare. With 64 different jobs (both part and full-time) teens can experience the real life challenges of the world of work without having to leave the classroom.  Practical skills such as resume writing, filling out job applications and career education requirements and salary ranges are also included.

Money Management:  How many teens know what is involved in paying for College or how to use credit cards or invest in the stock market?  In American Dream 101 they get to experience taking out student loans, paying bills, using credit cards and even asking their boss for a raise!  Yet if they mess up here, they don’t have bad credit for the next 10 years.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION.
SO ENJOY THE RIDE!
