So, it’s the middle of Fall now. Those who have recently graduated from college are most likely settled into their dream jobs, making the big bucks, and well on their way to a glorious career in their own major field of study. Student loan payments are starting to be due and, thanks to the preparation you received at college, you are adjusting with ease to the financial pressures of paying bills and entering the workforce. When the Almamater calls, asking for a donation, you say, “Sure, I’ll send a big fat check to you right away. I have some extra cash that I can take out of my generous starting salary which I receive along with great benefits and paid holiday vacations.” Aren’t you glad you are now out of college and living in the real world?
