CollegeGrad.com is a great resource for finding top entry-level jobs and internships, as well as great help videos for putting together resumes, interviewing, and job searching. They also have wizards. Not real wizards, though. Just great tools.
This is the salary wizard. Type in your desired industry and all the places you wold consider living and it will show you median incomes for job/location. A Public Relations professional right outside of Atlanta has an income varying from 45k-60k.
The cost of living wizard is a great tool to help you assess what you should be making in other cities to maintain your current cost of living. For example, for someone making 50k in Atlanta, if they were to move to San Francisco, they would lose almost 20k annually in cost of living differences. Employers in San Fran only pay about 7% higher than Atlanta but the cost of living is 42% higher. This tool can help anyone assess if that move to a new city with new opportunities is really worth it.
The Job Assessment tool will help you figure out what career aspects are most important to you, and will help you compare your job opportunities rank on that list of criteria.
The Salary Timer is humorous, but depressing. It allows you to compare how much you make over a period of time with, say, Adam Sandler, who is worth 24k an hour. It also allows you to calculate your salary in Big Macs.
The Millionaire Maker is not as thrilling as it sounds. It wont actually make you a millionaire. However, it does calculate how long it will take for you to become on at your current salary.
