There seems to be a class missing from college curriculum that everyone feels, but no one talks about. In fact, I've never heard of a lecture that covered the all-too-practical topics of choosing an insurance plans or how to consolidate finances once you're married. And let's not even mention the whole "having kids" thing! Somewhere in … Continue reading What Your Friends Are Saying About Life After College
