maleficent

One other thing to consider... and things may have changed a lot since I graduated (this is where I hum a few bars of the times they are a changin'...)

Back when the dinosaurs walked the earth, and a college student's wardrobe (the females too) consisted of baseball caps in every color, band tshirts, sweatpants, flip flops and nikes... and one good interviewing suit... that signing bonus is generally used to go out and purchase a new wardrobe that is work appropriate. Trust me, even if the dress code is business casual... one weeks worth of clothing will set you back a bit, more than likely what you wore to that 8:00am class, won't cut it in an 8:00am meeting.
