Or, maybe you just want to tell your boss ‘where to go’, after being the fine achiever of a college degree (which seems to be increasingly important these days).  Trust me, peers and colleagues WON’T let you forget that fact, making you feel inadequate from the increasing pressure to pursue this ‘all-important’ piece of paper. So, while they’re not out driving their beamers, and getting their nails done, you can really show them, that YOU’RE RIGHT UP THERE WITH THEM! Go ahead. Make them shoot their non-fat moccachinos out their nostrils! They’re sure to be impressed when you don one of t
