“Don’t talk to strangers.”. Whether or not this is good life advice that people should follow, it’s a saying that most are familiar with. Even though this suggests we might have difficulty engaging with strangers, marketers have no problem selling to strangers. We spam unsegmented email lists and display annoying pop-ups on websites.

News flash -- your email address from high school won’t cut it in the real world. Even if “baseballbro25@aim.com” serves as a nostalgic reminder for your peak athletic years, it’ll look like an eyesore on your resume and prompt any recruiter or hiring manager to automatically chuck it in the trash. That said, there’s probably at least one person who has the same name as you, so the email address with just your first and last name has most likely been taken by now.
