This Week’s Reader Poll Results: Thank you to everyone who responded to our May 21st poll about the advice you would give students now graduating college. Your answers and offers of advice were wide-ranging- everything from “follow your dreams” to the opposite: “Live within your means, not your dreams.” Many of you suggested keeping an open mind during the job search, staying open to whatever comes along, and networking to gain insight into possibilities and career options. While many of you suggested that newly graduating students not settle for something that doesn’t make sense (even suggesting they travel while they can), others gave more practical advice about the reality of today’s job market, including suggestions to take whatever job is offered, live at home to save money, and stay positive, as the economy will eventually turn around. Since no one knows what the future may hold, all of your suggestions have value, especially in that they likely reflect your own life’s experiential wisdom. Thank you for sharing your insights and taking the time to reflect on the advice you’d give younger folks. We wish them well in whatever endeavors they pursue!

Bonus question: Why was that job memorable?
Your skin changed. Your skincare should too.
In your 40s and 50s, your skin loses estrogen, and with it, collagen, elasticity, and hydration. Other skincare doesn't treat the root cause. Alloy's M4 line does. It's powered by prescription-strength estriol, a safe, topical form of estrogen that's clinically proven to rebuild what menopause takes away.
It delivers real results in hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health in just 12 weeks. Doctor-prescribed, HSA/FSA eligible, and delivered to your door.
