1. Why do this? Aren't there already a million other blogs out there?

A short while back, a good friend of mine who teaches Marketing at a local college asked me to visit her students and deliver a series of guest lectures. I was flattered. I was terrified. I wondered "what on earth can these kids possibly learn from me?"

When I finished delivering my prepared speech, I opened the forum & was floored by the questions that I received...

What happens when you graduate from college?
How do you get a job?
How do you learn to manage your money?
How do you meet people outside of school?
I want to move to a new city, but I'm afraid; what should I do?
How do you deal with your parents once you're out of their house for good?
How do you figure out what you want to do with your life?

...to name just a few. It was as if I was looking back in time... just 10 years ago, I was in the exact same situation as all of these students.

The difference is that now, at 30 years of age... I can confidently answer most of those questions. So, since knowledge is no good unless you use it to better yourself or your peers, I am endeavoring to create a list of the very best pieces of advice for navigating the blue ocean of early post-collegiate life. Stay tuned in for more...
