Spoiler alert: it's not just about the paycheck-- there may be some long-lasting advantages of working hard for the money before you graduate. Lastly, Mel teaches us about the dreaded and mysterious teen illness of mononucleosis. What is it, how do you treat it, and why does it always strike at the worst possible moment?
