This event has already occurred.
Wondering how you’ll make it on a salary of $45K in the big city? Don’t know how much you will be taxed on your gross pay each month? Don’t know the difference between a Federal, FICA or Medicare payroll deduction? Don’t know whether you will need to pay into your health benefits each month?
You will soon need to know since these items may impact your first paycheck (and every check thereafter)!
"How to make Sense of your Dollars and Cents," is a thought-provoking and engaging presentation on the financial ramifications of making the transition from student to professional. The event will be light-hearted and fun.
This presentation is for all Bellisario College students but will especially resonate with graduating seniors!
