What advice did your guidance counselor give you?
Jason Manzuchus remembers his.
Nothing much.
I feel like the guidance counselor told me what I feel like teachers have been telling me for a long time,
which was essentially, why don't you try?
That's bullseye.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.
Senate Democrats say they're offering a compromise to reopen the government,
but Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune says it's a non-starter.
NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a proposal to reopen the government with a one-year extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits.
Those credits are set to expire at the end of the year and have been central to this government shutdown.
Most Democratic senators have been holding out on voting to fund the government until Republicans agree to extend those credits.
Schumer also proposed establishing a bipartisan committee to negotiate on long-term health care reforms.
Republicans want to address health care subsidies after the government reopens.
Any deal in the Senate would also have to pass the House, which remains out of town.
