You've landed your first real job.
Now, with a steady source of income, you’re ready to take the next step in the process of adulting – getting your very first credit card. This may seem like a no-brainer – just fill out an application – because aren’t all credit cards the same?
The answer is no, absolutely not. In all likelihood, you are going to have a long-term relationship with this card and the financial institution issuing it. Shouldn’t you make sure that this card is “the one?” And, if you don’t take the time to do some comparison shopping, you may pay out more of your hard earned money than necessary.
