Are you financially prepared for what comes after college? 

There’s a lot of pressure on recent college grads to get a secure job and start paying off those student loans. To make enough to buy a house and a car, to start a family—to live up to the expectations other people have for us. But what do YOU want? What goals do YOU want to achieve?
