Graduation advice for the lifestyle you want (Re: “Life after graduation,” June 7, Page 6) I always tell my nieces and nephews that they need to decide what lifestyle they want to live. Do you want to buy a house? Where? What do you want to drive? Do you want to take a vacation in Europe or Hawaii? I tell them in order to buy that house, drive that car and take that vacation you need to make $150,000 a year. Here are the jobs that pay that salary (surgeon, lawyer, CEO, top-level business executive etc.) I also tell them their spouse or significant other may have to make that much too. Pick the career you love that pays the salary you want and go for it. Youth of today need to understand the reality of the life they want to live and the career they will need to afford it. — Gary Boriero, Spring Valley
