　　21

　　on their way to impressive careers. By society’s

　　22

　　, they seem to have it made.

　　On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a

　　23

　　In a society that tends to

　　38

　　everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our
