One of the most common suggestions on this site during a job search is to continue to educate yourself. Everyone seeking to advance is engouraged to read. I want to know what people are reading on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. What newspapers, magazines, journals, books do you recommend?

First post!

I've been a long-time reader of The Deal, which I view as an extremely useful magazine to read for a young banker. I was wondering what other magazines/trade publications you all follow and/or recommend, excluding the obvious (WSJ, FT, etc.)?

Monkeys,

Thought I'd drop this tip. If you're a student, you can get a year's subscription to The Economist for just $68.85 (I think retail is $127 online right now.)

Go to discountmags.com, the student rate version of The Economist is $76.50 right now. After putting it in your cart, enter the coupon code "WINTER10" for 10% off. Should work for both new subscriptions and renewals.

Hope this helps someone out.

mod (Andy) note: "Blast from the past - Best of Eddie" - This one is originally from November 2010. If there's an old post from Eddie you'd like to see up again shoot me a message.

Has marriage become obsolete? According to a recent Time Magazine/Pew poll, 40% of Americans believe that marriage is obsolete today, and 44% of Americans under 30 believe the institution of marriage is soon to be extinct.

I can't think of a better topic to write about on my 8th anniversary.

You guys know how I feel about marriage from a practical standpoint: there's no percentage in it. Clearly, Prince William is not a WSO reader. All joking aside, though, is marriage dead? For someone in a lopsided income/asset relationship (where one partner earns or is worth far more than the other), how could it be to the advantage of the more financially successful partner to get married?

Does anyone use Magound for magazines?
