S-K-I-L-L-S – A Song About Redefining Success in the Age of AI

Career Choices: The Musical, a project developed by Career Choices author Mindy Bingham and My10yearPlan.com lead engineer, Brad Owen, follows multiple generations confronting identity, purpose, and reinvention in a world reshaped by artificial intelligence. As one graduate questions whether the life she planned is truly her own, a series of dynamic original songs remind us that there is no single right path—and the choices we make define our journey. 

This explosive, hip-hop-driven number captures a generational shift in how opportunity is defined. Against the backdrop of automation and AI, the song challenges traditional hierarchies of prestige, asserting that skills—learned, refined, and continuously updated—are the true currency of the modern workforce. The ensemble drives home the idea that talent is not fixed, and relevance comes from growth.

Affordable, Ready-to-Use Financial Literacy for Students

Tighter budgets don’t have to mean fewer opportunities for students. Lifestyle Math is a one-semester, standards-aligned personal finance curriculum that’s affordable, all-in-one, and teacher-friendly. With workbooks, online tools, and built-in support bundled together, districts can implement it without hiring extra staff or paying hefty licensing fees—giving students essential financial skills without breaking the budget. Students gain real-world financial skills they can use immediately—budgeting, saving, and making informed money decisions—setting them up for confidence and success beyond the classroom.
