This document provides 50 "rules" or pieces of advice for life after school. Some of the key points include: life isn't fair and won't care about your self-esteem as much as school; you likely won't make a high salary right out of high school and may have to work jobs without prestige; looking attractive doesn't empower you and smoking doesn't make you look cool; and you need to take responsibility for your own actions rather than blaming others. The overall message is that the real world after school won't coddle people and success requires work, responsibility, and dealing with challenges rather than complaining.
