My work is initiating a “National Education Day Event” for all prospective and current students. This event is supposed to celebrate the school’s dedication to education with activities, food, and games.
Promotional flyers were sent to each college in the nationwide company for our admissions teams to send out to students.
And each flyer had the following [...]

Sitting in my underwear in my apartment while typing a blog post, I am reminded of the fact that there are probably twenty to thirty other liberal arts leftovers with some sort of humanities degree sitting in front of their own computer reading or writing a blog entry also. Actually, probably more than that with [...]

Today my job had me go to a high school to sit in on my partner’s “college presentation” to see exactly what we’re telling today’s yoots about higher education. And although the presentation was very informative, what caught my attention the second I walked into the high school was the fact that I am old.
I [...]

You know, no one ever told me what I could do with my major besides teach or profess (that is, become a professor) when I got out of college. And even though I graduated with an English degree, I’m still not certain what I can do with my degree.
Recently, I got a new job as [...]

In grade school, your teachers told you not to run with scissors, and stop picking your nose (or else the booger monster would eat your finger, obviously).
In middle school, you were told all about abstinence…and how Darwin was full of crap (if you went to public school).
In high school and college, teachers persisted upon the [...]

I have noticed a popular trend of young people when stepping out of their parents’ grasps into freedom. And no, it isn’t line dancing, although I’m sure everyone out there enjoys a good one-two-step once in awhile. It seems quite a few 20-somethings are out there getting a pet after college.
I should know, because I [...]

As all jokes go, three friends were sitting outside on a Monday, discussing their job outlook after college.
One friend was working at a job that had nothing to do with her college degree.
Another friend was working at Banana Republic, even though he graduated with a four year degree in three years.
And one friend, with a Master’s [...]
Getting Married Right After College

Directly after college, it seems that a large number of individuals feel the need to purchase jewelry. I mean, why else would you get married right after college? I understand that this need to purchase jewelry is great…people like shiny (how do you think Disco became so popular?), but for all of you thinking about purchasing jewelry immediately [...]
