Many of today's graduates are about to make the same mistake Matthew Emmons made during the 2004 Olympics. It's commencement season for high school and college seniors. The future may be unknown, but graduates know what they want in their future -- money. A 2025 poll by Harvard Political Review asked young Americans to identify their important goals.
