Editor’s note: Barry Courter has a 26-year-old son who is a college graduate and a 21-year-old daughter who is a junior in college. Each week he poses a question he wishes they would ask.

Q: Dad, what should I wear to work?

A: Always remember the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. Some offices allow everything from pajamas to shorts and sandals. Some require dress shirts and ties. If there are no written or spoken rules, look around you and do likewise.
