As a member of the High School Class of 2017, would you be better off if you knew the life lessons right now that many don’t learn and fully comprehend until they are at a much more advanced age? What if you were given simple concise insights into how to protect your good credit, your reputation, and maybe even your face? Those lessons and more are served up in the 14 chapters that make up The High School Graduates Owner’s Manual, written by this week\'s guest, Jim Egan.
