Here’s one for the long haul: personal finance lessons, in a blog post titled "14 Personal Finance Lessons You Never Learned in School."
What I like about it: three things.
First, it’s stuff I can get behind myself. I’m 56, and have time-tested most of this writer’s recommendations.
Second, it’s by someone young enough that he’s got the right to be giving advice to folks in their 20s. If I said this stuff, I’d just get eye-rolls. Can’t blame you—I would have rolled my eyes too.
Third, it’s witty and worth reading—my favorite of his 14 lessons begins this way: “Don’t Date Girls Who Own Small Dogs they Carry in Handbags.”
Here are the 14 Lessons: http://theskooloflife.com/wordpress/14-personal-finance-lessons-you-never-learned-in-school/
And here’s the author’s self-intro video, worth watching just to see how someone who felt he had no direction pulled it together: http://vimeo.com/28998608. Fair warning—he eventually wants to sell you stuff that our great Career Development folks can also supply. But that’s okay—it’s worth checking out.
