Careers and Finance


Even in a recession, Boston's young adults are still finding ways to get by and get ahead financially.

For some, that means looking at new ways to earn a living, valuing self-worth above net worth.

For some, it means striking out as entrepreneurs, building success in their own businesses on their own terms.

And for some, it means finding the silver lining in the recession, making it work to their advantage.
