1. “Doowutchyalike” – Digital Underground
Don’t wait for love when getting that job, doing what you like is good enough while you are exploring your career, but don’t do something you dislike or hate.

2. “Give it away” – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before you draw a paycheck, volunteer at something you love and commit to it for a year. Whether its therapy horse riding, environmental clean-up, inner city sports programming… no one said love doesn’t matter.

3. “Modern Love” – David Bowie
The workforce you enter might just really have some open, different combinations of lovers. But remember, it’s the love that matters… and it should never be rationed

4. “Dance Naked” – John Cougar Mellencamp
This isn’t about love (but it could be), but go ahead and read Froggatt’s Work Naked: Eight Essential Principles for Peak Performance in the Virtual Workplace. Don’t screw it up. We all like that work flexibility and if Yahoo can ban it, who is next?

5. “Stepping Razor” – Peter Tosh
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Rub up against people that sharpen (not dull) you. Especially a mentor you are willing to help for free (wash the car, staff a booth, volunteer at their favorite charity).

6. “Best of You” – Foo Fighters
Don’t let anyone get the best of you… your mind, your spirit and your body are sacred.

7. “Lawyers, Guns and Money” - Warren Zevon
Hopefully you won’t ever need to use these to get out of trouble, but study their use just in case. It’s too late once the battle is engaged.

8. “The World’s Greatest” – R. Kelly
Be the best at something among all the people you know – small engine repair, changing the printer cartridge, cake decorations, fly fishing, nunchuku skills. If you go through a quarter-life crisis, your ego will love you.

9. “No Woman, No Cry” - Fugees
With the change of a single word, this becomes a hip lullaby. Get ready, kids are coming and don’t wait too long… it’s nice not to be thought of as your own kid’s grandparent.

10. “It’s so Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” – Boyz II Men
So don’t… immediately sign up for your alumni club, and make sure to buy tickets at least once a year for your favorite ballgame, theater or music performance on campus.

This is a choose your own advice selection… but it rocks and it rolls.
