You Asked: My Boyfriend Doesn't Believe in Himself
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend just graduated from college last Spring and is taking some time off. Right now he's taking community college classes and deciding what direction he wants to go with his life (grad school, career, etc). His parents are more than fine with supporting him — he's worked really hard, and deserves a break — so he can avoid jumping into something he hates.
You Asked: I Am Afraid of Failure
Dear Sugar --
I am a Senior at an art school and will be getting my Bachelor's in Advertising soon. I recently entered an ad campaign for a competition and didn't make it. Everyone says that my ads are great.
You Asked: New Job, New Look?
Dear Sugar
I'm three years out of college and I've never had a job that required me to dress up. Not ever having gotten in the habit of wearing makeup, this also means I've never worn any to work. However, I'm being offered a job that will require full business attire, and I feel like it behooves me to develop on a sophisticated presence.
Do Tell: What Was Your First Job?
Maybe I'm just having a fit of nostalgia, but this week I had the most vivid flashbacks about my first official job, the one with a printed paycheck, the timeclock, and an expectation of ironed clothes. I was a sales clerk at a fussy department store; I was sixteen, and all the women who worked in my area were over fifty and very, very serious about selling clothes. This might have had something to do with the low wages, the commission, and the 'hole' one accumulated if you didn't make your sales quota.

Elisabeth Moss: Peggy Olson Is the "Ultimate Feminist"
Elisabeth Moss told New York magazine's Vulture that career women in the '60s weren't trying to change the world but simply trying to improve their lives. She said:
"These women weren’t trying to change everyone's lives; they just wanted to get their chance to do their job, and in that way she's the ultimate feminist."
