With the summer upon us, recent college graduates will be looking for their first jobs, so The Motley Fool's Matt Trogdon and Morgan Housel sat down to discuss a few pieces of advice for recent college grads. First, Housel exploded the myth that employers continue to pay special attention to where someone attended college:

Housel also discussed the need for current grads to become proficient in Microsoft Excel. "I'm pretty shocked at how little this is emphasized in school."
