Q: Dad, if I’m lucky enough to have more than one job oppotunity when I graduate, which should I choose?

A: Trust your own gut or instinct. You can, and should, sit down and make a pros-and-con lists of things like pay, hours, location, advancement opportunities, job and personal satisfaction and long-term stability (as if), but in the end you really want to be happy.
