At age 18, adults can vote, smoke cigarettes, join the army and in some states purchase a firearm. Many rack up student loans all towards a degree someone else is pushing them towards. However, are we being taught how to manage our financial burdens and be civic participants in America? On today's episode we discuss our unpreparedness for the responsibilities of adulthood after high school and the pressures of attending college immediately. We sit with two recent high school grads Alex Lavelle and Tylor Delise.

Alex is a young photographer. You can see more of his work @lavellephotos on Instagram

Tylor specializes in men's fashion and photography. You can see more of his work on Instagram @tylor_delise
