There were 28 responses to last week’s Tele-Talk question — “What advice would you give a recent graduate?” — with many advising to love and stay true to yourself, stay out of debt, vote, enter a trade and leave the valley. The full selection of responses is printed here.
Vote like your futures depend on it. Go to trade schools and learn how to use your hands. Don’t trust that your national leadership has your best interests at heart. Last, but not least, good luck. It’s a hell of a world out there, and there are lots of good and lots of bad. Make the best of it.
