You hit one of my buttons; I strongly agree with you - replace many stop signs with yield signs; why should I have to stop completely if no one is anywhere near the intersection. If I cant figure that out, I have no business driving.
The government knows how to waste money, and both sides know how to do it well. Regrettably, the extreme on the left want to put us back in the 18th and 19th century and some on the right aren't much better.
Anyone on the left or right that thinks the politicians work for them is stupid in my book. They give the poor crumbs and make the wealthy richer. It's profit and greed first, keeping the prices higher [exporting more of oil, gasoline, natural gas, etc., will keep prices higher and help to move them higher], how much the lobbyists can put into their pockets for their campaigns, how much more the Federal and state governments can take in, etc. There's too many among the Democrats and Republicans, Obama, his staff, those in the EPA, the extreme environmentalists [mind you, I'M A GREENIE, or a TREE-HUGGER!, but I'm a REALIST first and foremost and I don't want to pay $5 for a loaf of bread or more or the same or more for a gallon of gas. That doesn't NEED to happen to get us to go greener.], Big Oil, OPEC, etc. They WANT gas to be $5 a gallon and more, even up the the $14 a gallon mark. At $14 a gallon, milk, bread and a dozen eggs would ALL be over $8 each. Most couldn't afford it.
Sure, I'll be a bud! But, I'll tell you right up front: I don't like the left or the right any longer. I don't like Democrats or Republicans pretty much well any longer as neither side will admit when they're wrong, neither side's supporters will bother to accept the truth about who ever their political leaders are, much like Christians and their pastors, Jews and their rabbis, Muslims and their imam, etc. I'm all for alternatives, and have been for over 40 years of my life and I make use of it when and where I can. I have always improved the fuel efficiency of anything I've ever owned, and even did it for my parents vehicles when I was a kid.

Would You Live with Your Ex?
CNN reported about a woman and her new hubby who moved back in with her ex-husband to save money. Would you do this?
Struggling to make ends meet, trying to dig themselves out of debt, Nicole Thompson-Arce and her husband have moved in with her ex-husband. Together, the unlikely threesome of Omaha, Nebraska, is raising two young daughters from the first marriage, reports CNN.
"I knew they were having money problems, so I just asked them to move in," Craig Thompson said. "I figured I'd get to see my girls, my daughters, more often. And Nicole said yes right away."
No longer do they have to shuttle Victoria, 7, and Caitlyn, 6, between two households. As a team, they can parent and be on the same page. Finding a baby sitter is never a problem. They take turns making meals, which they all share.
"We just clicked," Thompson said. "When I tell people, 'I'm living with my ex-wife and her husband,' I get some really strange looks. ...It's different. It's unusual, but it works."
The transition has been smooth and great for the kids, Thompson-Arce said. And for their benefit, irrespective of finances, she thinks it's a living situation they'll stick with for at least five to 10 years. It has, however, taken a little time for the little ones to get the story straight.
Seven-year-old Victoria went back to school after winter break -- and after the whole team had blended under one roof -- and started telling people this: " 'My mommy has two husbands,'" Thompson-Arce remembered. "I was like, 'No, honey, don't tell them that!'"
What she and both men hope the girls are learning is that divorced parents can work together and be friends.
"There are so many families that go through divorce and can never let it go," she said. "I'm thankful, and hopefully our situation can help people rethink things because if they have kids, it's in their best interest to get along."
Financial expert Danielle Hoston says she's not surprised more and more people are moving in with their exes. "People are doing anything and everything they can to cut back on expenses," she says. "The main thing I would recommend is to have a co-habitation agreement that details who's paying for what, and what will happen if one of the parties decides to end the arrangement. That way, everything is all on the table and there are no unpleasant surprises later."
Would YOU do this? Comment below.
I could NEVER do this… and although it may seem good for their children NOW, I am sure down the road there will be problems
I think it is great that it is working out for them right now.
Not all divorced couples loathe the site of each other.
After 2 of my friends divorced and remarried, he and his new wife bought the house next door to her and her new husband. They had 4 kids together and have each had 2 additional kids with their current spouses. All the kids go back and forth between both houses. They all go on vacation together. Each adult's parents were divorced & remarried also.
Their houses are quite a sight on holidays. They have to rent tables and chairs for meals.
Not only would I do it, I did. Right after his divorce from the woman he left me for. He was broke, I was broke, and we were spending all our time together with the kids anyway, and I was doing a lot of running back and forth between my house and his. But it only lasted about a year because then he reverted to old behaviors that I hated when we were married, and since HE had let me out of the contract, I didn't have to put up with it. We remain friends. He does his laundry at my house the nights I'm in school.
I have. And again it did not work. He is an Aries and I am Capricorn. BIG fights there. Had I known it the first time I'd never married him in the first place, had I known it the second time I wouldn't have tried to patch the mistake… now I know… Aries are politic lovers I'm a nature lover.. Aries whine & have absolutely NO patience! Caps don't either but we don't whine.. we wine,….lolololol
Not only would I do it, I did. Right after his divorce from the woman he left me for. He was broke, I was broke, and we were spending all our time together with the kids anyway, and I was doing a lot of running back and forth between my house and his.

This is what I call a setup from hell! Everyone involved in this should be ashamed of themselves. What kind of example are these people setting for their kids? The men who married this woman are fools especially the recent one.
This is not usual activity from white women.
Not the usual activity from white women?!?!?!? Can you explain to me what you mean by that?
So…I have been reading all the things online about my story and I thought I would choose this website to comment on. I certainly didn't realize it would become "news" all over the internet. This situation that I am in with my ex husband and my current husband is an excellent arrangement. Our children get to see that it is possible to be friends with your ex and see positive relationships working out. My current husband and my ex are great friends, and I mean that seriously. They honestly have a friendship without jealousy or fighting. Our children get to have 3 parents that love them all under the same roof and coming together for a common goal, their proper up bringing and plenty of love. I think that our situation is able to work because we all have different personalities and range in age. We balance each other out. And no, there is nothing sexual involved with my ex and myself. I still love him as a person and as the father of my children, but I am in love with my current husband and my intimacy lies strictly with him. Thanks to those who can understand this, and to the naysayers, you have to have an open mind when it comes to certain things.
I love Amy S.'s comments! I was Ame S. before I was widowed.
I was married for 15 years to my first (late) husband after dating him for 4 years. We were married for 8 years before our first of 2 daughters was born. We would not still be married today if he were alive.
It is great when divorced couples can remain friends and put the needs of their children first. Some couples are better off as friends than as spouses.
In all honesty, and all fairness, I just really don't think this is appropriate. Considering the fact that sexual relations will occur between the married couple. And sexual relations once occurred between the now divorced couple. This, all beneath the same roof, is simply not going to work, monetary reasons or not. The only thing I see it teaching the kids involved is dysfunctionality.
First of all, you got divorced for a reason. Obviously something was not right, and therefore I'm sure the living situation wasn't ideal either. In which case, it wouldn't be in the best interest of the children. But hey, every situation is different and I'm not one to judge. But no, personally I would never do this and I'm so thankful that I would never have to think about doing this. That's the great thing about having a hubby who saves money like crazy :) we'll never need anyone elses help.
I am doing it right now and it is worst then when we were married. I wish I never moved him back in to the house. Luckily, he is moving out again in a few months. I am a Taurus and he is a Leo. Leo's are like the lion in the wilds of Africa. Fierce and always out for the kill of a helpless gazelle.
I would do it and think it would work out just fine, it's so important for people to at least try to get along for the kids sake, I think its fabulous when divorced people can get beyond the hurt and remain friends while incorporating any new spouses etcc into the fold. The article doesn't say anything about it having to be like you were married, you would be able to talk first just the 2 of you and set whatever boundaries you felt were necessary.
If it works for them, who are we to say yeah! or nay- so long as the kids are growing up in an environment of honesty and love- hey- sometimes relationships don't work out because of incompatibility, but that doesn't make us bad people. This lot have clearly put their egos behind them and bonded as a family. maybe it's a temporary measure- I think it's a great example.
Actually my parents did this for five years. We thought it was unusual but great at the same time. We knew our parents were not romantically involved but knew you have to do whats best for the family regardless if your married or divorce. Kids come first and if that means moving in with your ex so your kids can eat every night or be able to save for a house down the road thats what you do. I thought it was great and because of this I know that once people get divorce they can still be friends and can create a relationship that positive for the children if they put the bitterness and childish behavior behind them and look toward the future.
I am living with my ex. Or, rather, he's living with me and my hubby. It works for us. My husband and I were buying a new home and my ex was homeless and had no family support or anyone at all who cared about him. I'm one of those people who picks animals up on the street, so I couldn't tell him no. Plus he's my son's father, how could I tell my son I let his father stay in a homeless shelter? Anyhow my son doesn't live with us, he's been adopted because of my ex's carelessness (long story, don't ask)… But he pays rent (not enough that he could afford an apartment, unfortunately) and he helps SOME with chores. It's getting a little old since he moved in 8 months ago, but we've told him he has to be out in 2-4 mos, because it really is uncomfortable. His room is on the other side of our bed, and it's really weird. We usually wait until he's not home to have sex… Which means that we don't have sex much, as he's usually off when my husband is. Sometimes we just have to be upfront and say "look we really want to have time alone, so get out" (to which he says something rude about us having sex, very annoying)… So I wouldn't necessarily recommend it… But I can't resist any living being that needs care, unfortunately:(
I am considering doing this myself, we dont have kids but we have lots of animals and we dont want to split them up and then with the market we cant sell the house. I am willing to rent the spare room split the mortgage type thing. I think it might be a little wierd but it will give us both a chance to get our feet on the ground. Do you think this a horrible mistake? The marrage was not horrible just didnt love each other as husband and wife more like friends.

Comments about DR Strings SIE-9 Silver Stars Coated Electric Guitar Strings:
First off, i love DR as a string manufacturer i think the products they make are fantastic, however these strings for me missed the mark. im not sure if maybe i just got a bum set but when i strung my Ibanez up with them, the E, A, and D strings sounded dull and wayy too bass heavy, i thought after playing with them for a bit they may change but they still sound dull. The high strings are alright but again they didn't sound crisp or full of life. I intend to change the strings again but will be going back to the regular 9 guage strings i usually use. Again, not knocking DR as a company, but these strings just didn't work.

Melissa McCarthy's Elle cover is just fine with her
"THERE is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion." -- Edgar Allan Poe.
SO "THEY" attacked Elle and Melissa McCarthy because she is wearing a big coat on the cover of the magazine, saying she was covering up her weight -- and for shame!
Well, she looks absolutely gorgeous, self-satisfied and confident. That ought to count for something! A lot of women wrote online in reaction to the cover: "The way she looks, she makes me want to get that coat!"
Hey, isn't this the age when women can wear anything they like -- or nothing. This fabulous actress has a talent that is bigger than what she wears.
The public now makes such a drama out of everything -- weight and clothes -- hardly distinguishing those subjects from worldwide fiscal calamity.
Anyway, more power to Elle and Melissa for doing as they see fit.
"You know how they put the older Eskimos on the ice floe?" says gossip columnist Joanna Molloy.
This is what Joanna said to the Times' Jacob Bernstein the other day. She was talking about being fired by a tabloid newspaper. (And I'm thinking maybe the way things are going that the ice floe idea isn't half bad.)
Joanna and husband George Rush have written gossip for the N.Y. Daily News and the N.Y. Post (and so have I) and now there's the advent of their retirement from gossip and a book titled "Scandal: A Manual."
They wrote me personally to ask whether I thought they needed to be spanked for what they wrote about me. Having read their history of days we all lived through, I'd say I don't care what they wrote about my so-called "private life." And naturally, I remember a lot of our history quite differently.
It is always fascinating to see how other people view the times you lived through together. But I can hardly believe that our mutual then boss, wealthy publisher Mort Zuckerman, ever asked them to lay off of my "sins." He'd never even asked me about such things and I knew him real well and all along, my life was about as "private" as a corner newsstand. If my private life is the most scandalous thing in their book, well, heaven help us. It was pedestrian in extreme and Mr. Zuckerman's own private life was always so much more interesting and romantic than mine. (And still is!) I doubt he thought about me one way or another.
I don't believe people can really be shocked now as they, perhaps, were back then. I wrote my own memoir in 2000 and sat through tough questions from a man I loved on "60 Minutes." Mike Wallace and I had more fun together finding my star on the Austin, Texas "Walk of Fame," right next to Admiral Chester Nimitz. "Look at that, Lizard ... You're famous!" exclaimed Mike.
Now, if Rush and Molloy are suggesting I might be interested in administering them a spanking, well, that might be interesting and worth considering. I am always up for new experiences.
GET THIS, you dog lovers! My crazy friend Howard Rosenman, who now refers to himself as a "legendary producer," wants us all to co-finance his latest "Shepherd: The Story of a Jewish Dog."
Well, Howard does know everything there is to know about the Jewish religion, history and the Holocaust -- and he has a long story of his own struggles as a German shepherd dog lover and movie producer ("Sparkle," "The Main Event" with Streisand, "Resurrection," "Father of the Bride," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Common Threads," the AIDS quilt documentary. He also acted in "Milk.") If you'd like to contribute, go to http://igg.me/at/shepherd/x/4792959.
On Monday, Oct. 28, our friend Angela Lansbury will be inducted into the Bucks County Playhouse Alumni Hall of Fame in New Hope, Pa.

CORRECTION! Owning restaurants is always tricky so, of course, I was mistaken in letting my mind wander so that I said Faith Stewart-Gordon was running Tavern-on-the-Green when I meant to say she was guardian, in the good old days, of the one and only Russian Tea Room. I am sorry!

Coach Brian Schacter said that his Mashpee High School softball team certainly didn't earn any style points on Monday against Sturgis West, but the Lady Falcons were able to navigate their way past the Navigators. Mashpee overcame some sloppy defense, on a day that seemed more appropriate for hockey than softball, and defeated visiting Sturgis by a 9-5 score.
After allowing two unearned runs in the top of the second, Mashpee came back to tie the score with two of their own in the bottom of the inning. Teach Childs started the surge with walk, and then with one down Kelly Kalagher earned a free pass as well. Amanda McEnroe later delivered a two-out two-run single to knot things up.
Mashpee went ahead in the fourth, scoring three to take a 5-2 advantage. Holly Stanley got things going when she reached on a West miscue and later scored on an RBI double by Raegan Silvia. McEnroe then followed with her second run-producing hit of the day. After a walk to Caleigh Coughlan, the hot-hitting Mackenzie Madden, who leads the team with a .577 batting average, smoked a single to up the lead to three.
In the fifth, McEnroe walked with the bases loaded to push in the sixth run. Stanley, who reached on an error, then scored on a wild pitch to make it 7-2.
Sturgis got two more unearned runs against Coughlan in the sixth to chip away at the lead, but MHS answered with two of their own in the bottom of the frame. Coughlan started things with a double and then scored on an RBI single by Madden. Taylor Chicoine then hit a two-bagger to make it 9-4.
By stringing together a double and a single in the seventh, Sturgis accounted for their fifth and final run. Coughlan senior scattered nine hits, walked six, struck out a dozen and gave up two earned runs. Coughlan's ERA for the season sits at a tiny 1.25.

Six Secrets to Race Day Success
I've done just about everything I can to prepare my body and now it's time to let the excitement set in. The next couple of days are all about relaxing and carb loading—my favorite parts!
Nutritionist Stephanie Middleburg and I discussed my past races and how to make this one the best yet. She shared some tips with me about what to do and eat during the few days before the race:
- Drink lots of water
- Try to get extra sleep
- Stretch
- Carb loading is great, but don't go out of control or eat foods that could bother your stomach on race day
- Fill your meals with nutrient dense foods and complex carbs (some good options include bananas, sweet potatoes, nuts, whole wheat pasta and quinoa)
- Most importantly, if whatever you have been eating or drinking before your long runs has been working for you, don't try something new on race day
Great advice, which I know I'm going to be following from now through Sunday! I'm sure all of the hard work those of you in training have put in will pay off, and I hope you enjoy the race. Talk to you Monday after the half-marathon!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
3 kids have run through here and I couldn't want more from a school. They helped dyslexic and aspergers kid stabilize with reading, they helped behavior kid stabilize with his disruptive tendencies, and it's a community-based and grounded caring school for all. Teachers live in the area, and there's just a level of responsibility and accountability that are unparalleled. I would give it more stars if I could.
Maybe, but you can't compete in a spelling bee - if you can't all be winners, then you're gonna have to settle for being losers.
I had two girls that attended this school. They both had excellent teachers who were very involved and interested in every child doing their best and achieving their goals. The teachers and principal would not tolerate bullying or name calling. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this school.

Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries may not technically be over, but that isn't stopping her from waxing poetic about her next one. Oh yes, it sounds like getting hitched to baby daddy Kanye West is definitely in the cards. Just not right away. (Most likely because she needs to actually get divorced first in order to remarry, but aside from that ...)
In the new issue of Cosmo, she said, "Sometimes, you're just not ready. A person could have it all, and you're not ready for it all. But this is where I probably always should have been ... [Marriage] is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don't have this sense of urgency about it. I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa, you know? It just feels like this is it for me." Wow! Well, there you have it, folks. Kanye's The One! But sounds like Kim doesn't feel she needs a ring on it to prove that to the world.
Granted, there's a lot of other static here that I'm SURE is affecting how fast Kim's interested in walking down the aisle with Kanye, but nonetheless, I admire that she doesn't have that "sense of urgency." And that she seems comfortable letting their relationship progress at its own pace.
It's not easy to do that in our culture. Even with so many couples having kids before marriage now, there's still a stigma surrounding putting the "carriage before the marriage." There's a lot of stigma when you've been in a relationship for three, five, or more years, and you're not engaged. Whether we like it or not, there are still some social conventions in relationships we pressure couples to adhere to. Even if it's just by asking a simple, but oh soooo annoying question like, "So, now that you're married, when are you gonna start trying?!"
The bottom-line: It's 2013. There's no prescribed, pre-approved plan for how relationships should progress. And no two relationships are the same. Thus, if Kim wants to date and have a baby and plan her wedding to Kanye while she's still married to Kris Humphries, ehhhh ... Okay, so it's all sorts of screwed up, but if she's happier and healthier, what's it to us?
Do you admire Kim's lack of "urgency" about marrying Kanye?

We're all entitled to judge her. She chose to put herself in the spotlight. And yea after a while, it's not too hard to figure out she's hardly a righteous person...She chose to put her sex tape out and profit from it, while not being married to Ray J. She scammed Kris H into marriage and will not agree to annullment as she will have to admit the marriage was a fraud. She's on Keeping UP, and now Kim and Kourtney Take Miami, now she's knocked up by someone new and expects America to be thrilled as we would a newlywed couple or a couple who's been trying to conceive? Admire? Nothing to admire. And as for her "lack of urgency", it's not self-imposed, she can't get married until the annullment. Does she think that spin is something we're buying? Spare me your righteous indignation....
Ugh...I wish the media would stop giving this family play....
I get that she's pregnant, but WHY is she wearing a diaper?

Humidity is measured with an instrument called a sling psychrometer.
This instrument consists of two thermometers. One thermometer measures the air temperature while the other one measures something called the wet-bulb temperature (a thermometer with a cloth wick on the end).
After the wick is dipped in water, the sling psychrometer is whirled around using a handle. Water evaporates from the wick on the wet-bulb thermometer and cools the thermometer. You can then determine the humidity by calculating the difference between the two temperatures. Pretty high-tech, eh?

Ask the Readers: Is Education Always a Good Investment?
Published on - November 30th, 2007 (Modified on - December 22nd, 2009) (by J.D. Roth)
Lisa is trying to decide what to do with her life. She's in her mid-thirties, has two young children, and for the past few years has spent most of her time parenting. Now that the kids are older, she'd like to go back to school. But she's worried it might not be a smart financial decision:
Common wisdom says that education is always a good investment. Is that always true? If I already have a college degree, is it truly a good idea to invest in another degree, taking into account lost income, the cost of tuition, childcare expenses, and any interest accrued in loans? Is there a base salary that you should expect to earn before additional education is a good investment?
Jethro wrote with a similar dilemma:
I'm a middle school teacher in Utah, and I don't make much: $27,859/year. I am getting my masters in my Educational Administration. If I stay in Utah, the lowest salary I will get if I am an Assistant Principal is about $45,000. If I move to someplace else — I am thinking Spokane, Washington — I could make $70,000, at least. My wife and I have about $34,000 in student loan/car debt between us. Here's the rub: I don't make enough to pay for schooling outright.
My question is: Should I go into more debt to ensure that I can get a better paying job? Or put off schooling to pay off debt by working two or three other jobs? If I put off schooling, my income will rise to about $29,000 from teaching in three years, which is probably how long it would take to pay off all that debt. Then I could start school again.
Lisa and Jethro both face the sort of tough financial decision for which there's no clear answer. I believe that additional education is usually a smart move, but clearly that can't always be the case. At some point, education becomes an expense not worth making. But where is that point?
When is debt acceptable? Should it be avoided at all costs? Or is debt for education worthwhile? How much debt for education is too much? Is there really any way to determine the "financially optimal" path? Are some types of education generally a better investment than others (e.g., trade schools)? More to the point, what are your personal experiences with educational debt? Do you wish you had never taken on the additional burden? Do you wish you'd done so earlier?
For the mom considering going back into the workforce…
20-odd years ago my mom went back to school after my father's death. She hadn't worked since before they were married, and we were all under age 11. She went to community college part-time ostensibly to get a certificate as a laser technician. (She already had a BA, if I remember correctly.) When she graduated, there weren't any jobs available in that field.
But…she was able, after a couple of false starts, to get a good job that she enjoys (most of the time) with a good pension. She's been there at least 15 years now.
What school got her, according to her, was a re-introduction to the world of grownups and an opportunity to prove her competence to herself and others. Which seems to have been worth it.
(Plus: my mom knew how to build a LASER when I was in junior high. How frigging cool is that?!)
The answer, as always, is "it depends."
Three points that I don't think have been made yet:
IF you go back to school, you don't necessarily have to quit your full time job. Distance learning programs are available at lots of reputable schools for lots of fields/degrees (including MLS – master's of library science), and at the master's level, many universities offer classes in the evenings because they expect to have students working full-time jobs. Keeping that full-time income can help you avoid racking up significant debt.
Second, you may be able to volunteer to work in/around the field you are interested in, to get experience that can help you land a job without another degree. For example, you could help a nonprofit organization set up a donor database to get experience wtih database development — or volunteering to help in their office and assisting on some of those tasks. This will also help you figure out whether the new field is actually what you want.
Third, if you already have a bachelor's degree, it's very rarely a good idea to get a second bachelor's. Look at master's or a certification instead. (An exception might be something like nursing, if your first degree was in something completely unrelated.)
Good luck!
I have yet to use my college education but wouldn't take it back for the world! I went to a state school and worked my way through it so it was damn cheap. However, scared by college costs, I took out the maximum school loans allowed. They sat in my high-interest account earning interest while serving as my school emergency fund, should I need the $$$ for books, tuition, ect. Never did, and make a chunk of change from them.
I'm now working on a second degree, one in a subject that always interested me. I'll probably never use it either, but I love learning. As long as I'm paying cash for my classes, it's totally worth it to me.
IMHO one of the great mysteries is why a Master of Library Science (or related degree) is necessary before one is able to get into the rather low paying librarianship profession.
And I am speaking as somebody who started an MLS program. I went through two quarters and left it for computer science when I got a really good look at the curriculum vs. the job and salary expectations for both. The sad thing is that I would really enjoy being a librarian, but don't really care for the IT profession.
At any rate, I think library science should be an undergraduate degree.
As for going into debt for college — well I certainly know about that. And for the most part it was 75% a mistake for me, but 25% a good thing. It left me where I feel obligated to stay in a profession I learned I really don't like. On the other hand, I also command a higher salary than average and have a demonstrated edge getting a job.
If I had to do it over, I'd probably have still gone to grad school but under different circumstances.
P.S. for the pathologist looking at law school — are you really sure? I hope you consider that move carefully and make sure you really want to go into law. Otherwise why not try to make a career move a different way?
it's a great coincidence to see this post, since i just took my last two tests of my very first quarter back at school today. i have two points to make:
- jethro: if you don't want to be an admin, don't get the admin degree. if you want to be an admin, and teaching is not holding your interest, get the degree. i think all the penny-pinching in the world isn't worth taking a job you don't want, or passing up on a job you do.
- for both of you: LOOK FOR SCHOLARSHIP MONEY. i can't stress that enough. i thought there was no way i'd get any financial help with school, but a friend convinced me to keep looking and i somehow found a little-known bucket of state money and now 100% of my school is paid for, including books. call your prospective schools and talk to their financial aid people, check on the web, etc. i bet you'll be surprised.
good luck!
In my experience, the correlation between education and earning power is not that strong. Infact, the correlation between salary and any factor is kind of mysterious. I think it has more to do with your drive, your ability to sell yourself, knowing the right people, and finding your niche. It also has to do with outside factors like the economy, who's hiring, where you live, interpersonal dynamics, etc. Consequently I can't see going back to school for financial reasons – seems like you'd risk a much bigger loss than gain. Though it might be different if you had no degree at all or sought a position at a very structured/bureaucratic institution.
Have to disagree slightly with Amy above. It really isn't a complete mystery what determines salary, and I write about it every once in a while in my blog.
That being said, I had to make a choice between going to get a MBA or to continue earning, and I chose to continue working. The math didn't make sense. I just looked at what I would make coming out, vs what I currently make and it was easy.
The equation gets very different if you want to change careers. In that case, I would focus on what you want to do, not what you can earn. The money will come, but finding happiness in your job may not if you only focus on the money.
Can you do what you really want to do without the additional education? If the answer is no, then getting the education makes sense and the cost of it should be irrelevant.
as a teacher, unless you want to jump tracks and become a principal, why oh why would you bother getting a masters? at my school a masters is only 500 a year more in salary.
instead, i would encourage a move to Houston texas where it is insanely cheap to live (nice home for 100,000) and get a job at alief independent school district in houston texas. i am 5 year teacher making 46,000 with an upcoming additional stipend of 8k for tutoring after school.
oh, and no state taxes
This was a decision I had to make about 3 years ago. I had a four-year Bachelor's degree in Economics and a decent paying job for where I lived (about $35-40k, depending on bonuses). I was looking at going back to get an MBA and knew that I would have to take on about $36000 in student loans in addition to the money I would pay out of pocket.
What also drove me to do it was that I didn't see a future with the company I was with at the time. I was mostly dissatisfied with management and my situation. They were willing to let me work while I went to school, so the income hit was somewhat negligible.
Deciding to do it was a complete leap of faith. I knew my potential income could be significantly higher, but there was also a risk that I might not find a good paying job before the student loan payments began.
I finished the degree this summer, and it did take nearly four months to find my new job, but now that I have it, it's been well worth the wait. I have increased my income by a very big amount, and expect to be able to pay off the loans in a couple years.
Most importantly, though, is the job satisfaction I have now. I enjoy working again. The position I'm in would not have been available without getting an MBA and the upside to my career is almost unlimited now.
So, if you think getting an education will (1) help you find a more fulfilling career and (2) help you increase your income, then based on my experience, I would go back to school.
This is a tough decision and I think it varies on the person. I wouldn't waste time with a second undergraduate degree unless it'll provide you with skills (such as engineering, computer science, etc.) that you didn't get when you completed your first undergraduate degree.
I think a graduate degree is more likely to be worth the sacrifice.
I recently made this decision myself. I'm making $45,000/year and want to go back to school for an MBA. I'm looking at both full-time and part-time programs. If I go with a part-time program, I keep my salary, my stock in our company, my stock options, etc. The only real cost is the $35k/year (for 3 years!) for tuition.
However, if I do a full time MBA program, the tuition not only jumps to $45k/year (only for 2 years so it's really about the same) but I also give up my salary, my unvested stock and options too. The decision is tough. However, I expect to make much more money after getting my MBA and to make that additional income for the rest of my life. (I'm only 28 now.) So to me, it felt like getting another degree was the right move.
Yes, unfortunately it's all situational. Teaching can definitely be one of those careers where the continuing education can really make a big difference, if you like what you're doing–things really build on each other pretty easily once you're in the profession.
There was no National Board certification when I started teaching, so I spent a few grand getting my Master's (I scored a work study job and got a great discount). It took me 16 months. The pay raise paid for the tuition in a year, and after that I was making quite a bit more than previous.
Now I'm out of the teaching profession for a few years, expecting a baby, and planning to go back when the kiddo is a few years old. After that I do plan to get my principal's credentials. It's something I'm passionate about, and I can get the credentials in less than two years since I already have my Master's. The whole program will probably cost me less than $8K and I'll see a 10-15K raise with the first administrative job I land…so that is definitely worth it to me.
That said, I am now to the point where I can't really recommend teaching as a career to anyone. The way the federal government is working at destroying public education, who knows if any of these jobs will be around in a few years…
Absolutely not. I'm in college right now, and there are all sorts of people who do not belong here. They're at college because their parents expected them to, have not declared a major, and are taking all sorts of random general education classes with no end in sight. Additionally there are all of those who are majoring in things that have little practical application in the business world. They might be fun to learn about, but you won't make more money from doing it.
Here's another option to consider. There are companies who will pay for your education while you work part-time for them. The first that comes to mind is UPS. The only caveat is that UPS offers this only for part-timers at its US hub in Louisville, Kentucky. Education is very valued in Louisville and there are teaching opportunities here as well.
Not to sound harsh, but I wouldn't place as much importance on the financially optimal decision as many of the posters. I got a B.S. in finance and have been very fortunate in the income my career provides. My brother is pursuing a PhD in religious studies. Compare the two and obviously from a strictly financial perspective I made the better choice.
I'm fortunate in that I enjoy my career. My brother would not enjoy finance.
Don't stress about a cost/benefit analysis if going to school would allow you to do something you truly enjoy.
Bottom Line:
You can get a 4 year degree and earn six figures, but you may not enjoy that career.
You could spend 100k+ on additional education and may not earn enough additional income to justify the cost, but if it allows you to do something you really enjoy, who cares?
Sometimes with certain jobs, you need a college degree and more to get ahead. I've seen internal job postings that require only a high school degree or equivalent and they almost always pay the low $20-30s.
Do some research, talk to people in the industry or jobs you're interested in to see what education/certifications is needed. It can save you alot of money and frustration! I have to invest $1100 into a course to become certified in a new industry so people will take me seriously and so I won't have to take entry-level jobs.
I went back to school to get a BA to set me up for becoming a therapeutic psychologist. However, upon completing the BA, I got a job offer in my previous profession, the one I'd been trying to leave.
I like to say I'm the Michael Corleone of computers; I keep trying to get out, and they keep pulling me back in!
So instead of going for the Masters, I took the job. I'd gotten a good look at what therapists actually do and decided to pursue this interest in other ways. The new job offer is much less stress, in a lovely location.
Financially, it didn't make much sense, because I didn't jump to the new profession and took on debt. But the BA is helping me in other ways, as I apply the knowledge to new creative efforts. I'm ready for a Masters in some other field, if that should arise. I wouldn't have found this new job if I hadn't moved to the new location to study for the degree. So I'm still looking at it as a win-win.
So, cost of the BA–quite a bit, but in a low interest loan.
Pay off–good job in an area with a low cost of living, so my living level has been raised. New job also offers much more free time to work on creative interests than I would have if I had gone on to the new profession.
The husband I met in Cultural Anthropology–priceless!
I have an MS in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A state school, but one with a great Computer Science program, probably one of the best CS programs in the US. I had a teaching assistantship, so I had a full tuition/fee waiver as a "member of academic or graduate stuff" and a small salary. At my time there was a significant difference in starting salaries between BS/CS and MS/CS. Additionally, I could get a lot more interesting job with an MS than with a BS.
There are two kinds of assistantships: teaching and research. The latter is more difficult to get because it depends on grants; and most professors prefer PhD candidates. But if you get it, and your research assistantship is in the same area as your thesis, you are lucky: you get paid for doing the work you'd have to do anyway to finish your thesis.
Where I went to school they had a constant shortage of TAs in CS because the professors wanted help not only with beginning courses but with advanced courses as well; also because other departments had graduate assistant positions for people with undergrad CS degrees.
In other fields, assistantships were more difficult to get. A friend of mine who was doing MA in linguistics couldn't get one at all. She had a Fellowship which is free money, like a grant, but not that much money. I knew a woman who had a teaching assistantship in Italian literature at Northwestern University, but languages have labs where they may use TAs.
Not sure how many assistantships there are in Educational Administration, but it is something to check out.
[...] Is Education Always a Good Investment? [...]
One point which I don't think has been made above: If you want to work for others, get the degree. If you want to work for yourself or own your own business, forget the degree unless you're going to need it for marketing purposes.
There are all sorts of ways to make money in the world, many of them involve working for yourself. I'm completely self-taught, a college drop-out, and do fine. I have never been asked what my educational background is (I'm a programmer/artiste type).
@Disgusted Pathologist
Why don't you do a fellowship in derm. or surg. path or something to change your perspective? Law school is a huge undertaking, and it's VERY different than medicine. Take it from me, it's day and night. Medicine is so exact and precise, law is frustratingly opposite. There is no right or wrong answer on the final exam questions…it's all about how you argue.
@ Disgusted Pathologist
Before you toss away all the years you spent in med school and residency I think you should evaluate what your expectations of medicine/pathology were and where they fell short or you risk repeating this same situation with law school.
Did you have any idea during the process that you were heading in the "wrong" direction (for you)? Were there no other areas of medicine that seemed appealing while you were a med student or intern? Did you have some huge misconception as to what being a pathologist would be like? Are you struggling with hospital politics or red tape?
You could spend the time and money to become a lawyer, specializing in a particular area of law, and find that you disliked it as intensely as you currently dislike pathology. (Particularly if politics or infighting is part of what you're disgusted by; law is by nature adversarial and political.)
Is there some way you could still find what you're looking for in medicine, even in a different specialty? Or could you combine your interest in law with your present expertise and become an expert witness?
At 46 I would think long and hard before going back into serious debt, when you've only just gotten out of debt in the past year.
To disgusted pathologist–apply for financial aid/scholarships. My sister receives grants for law school and I have known others who also receive aid. You seem like a prime candidate for merit based aid, especially if your goals are to try to reform the profession, or somehow serve society.
To Lisa–The most important thing is for you to figure out what your goals are. This is left out of your email. If you would be going to a program solely to make more money, or if it is to escape from trying to find a job, it is a bad idea, regardless of the financial picture. In both of those situations it would be better for you to start dipping your toes into the field professionally, through volunteer work or joining a professional association first. If it is a moneymaking field, then try to find a job that will value the completion of an advanced degree, and hopefully that will pay for at least part of it. That will also ensure that your focus will turn out to be in line with what you enjoy doing.
If you feel "lost" Penelope Trunk on Brazen Careerist writes about why it is a bad idea to go back to school, at least on your own dime.
Some grad degrees will open doors and some won't. For example I read that Ph.D.'s in English have a 10% chance of getting a tenure track teaching job. But a lot of professional degrees have a payoff, and there are references if you google enough that talk about which degrees "pay off." And there are other factors, like the quality of program, to consider. Or your location.
Either way, grad school isn't an easy option. It is challenging. Even if you are really smart. For a lot of people it is disheartening. So it is best to go in with a very clear idea of why you want to be there. You don't have to be 100% convinced, but when a class goes worse than expected, you struggle with your advisor or your thesis, you want to at least have something inside you that encourages you to go on.
I don't think finances can be the chief factor in your decision, but they should be a factor. If it is a Ph.D. program, you should not pay for it. Google this to understand why. But it is usually not a good idea to go into debt for a Ph.D., particularly if you want to teach at the university level afterwards. If it is a professional program, make sure you are realistic about the payoff versus debt.
I just finished a master's degree in a non-professional field and am very content. It was much harder than I thought it would be. My degree was fully funded so I have no debt. I would have no qualms about incurring debt for education in the future or spending large sums of money on education if I could afford it and I felt like the learning would be interesting and possibly lead to more fulfillment on the job front. Best of luck.
To Jethro, it sounds like you have a pretty clear cut issue. If you want to go into administration in Washington, get the master's. If you want to stay put and don't care that much about learning for learning's sake, don't get the master's. If you want to stay put and you do want to learn, wait a little until you get a handle on your debt, or find out if there are fellowships available or tuition reimbursement.
A surprising number of the posters above seem to have forgotten that the point of education is to educate people, not to put letters after their names that can be cashed in for money. By all means, let students take an assortment of courses in whatever catches their fancy! That's what distribution requirements are for, is to give people an exposure to a wide variety of learning experiences, enriching their personal life and giving them opportunities to explore options they might not have considered otherwise. And if, heaven forbid, they choose a major in the humanities and a less-than-profitable career doing something they truly, passionately love, I'd say they're a lot better off than someone who tosses away eight or ten hours of precious time every day doing something they don't care about.
I'm a graduate student (on fellowship) in philosophy, and even my dream job doesn't pay half what I'd be earning if I'd quit after finishing my culinary degree and worked my way up as a professional chef. I really don't give a flip. I profit from my education every day, whether I get paid for it or not.
I can relate:
Iam 33 and I want to quit my federal $36,000 job and go back to get my Masters in Social Work (MSW). I hate to loose my benefits and the security of having a job for the past(6)years but I feel that the supervisors will never allow me to advance. I can get my MSW in a year and 20K. Longterm, I can do what I want, any where I want. I will have a hand of cards to play not just playing with the old cards that Ive been dealt. I know it sound CRAZY in this economy but what is a person to do? Do I allow my fincial out look to be controled by those who have no education and continue to be passed over for promotion to find out later that my bosses daughter go the job I wanted (that just fishy). Life is not easy but if you put the ball in your court you have some advantage. Education is always a way out!
I say "no" to the question. Education is not always a good investment. I was a single mom working full time and I was strongly encouraged to return to finish my BA. People told me "Statistically people with degree make more money". I graduated, left a job paying 27K for a job paying 29K with hours that required more child care cost. I left that job and moved to a lower cost of living area to make $10.00 an hour now. I love my life now but as an investment – it was not a good idea for me. I now have 21K in student loans that I barely can repay. I'm digging myself out, but wish I had't finished my BA until the kids were in college.
I work as a receptionist for a doctors office and have been turned down for 3 jobs after interviewing in the last 8 months. There are benefits where I work, so I'm staying put for awhile. I beat myself up everyday for going back to school. I lost out on 2 years of memories with my kids because I went to school full time and worked full time. At this point it is the biggest regret in my life.

Louise Hunter: Philanthropist and Mom of 21!
Sit down, Octomom. You're benched, Gosselin. Louise Hunter has 21 kids. And she's here to give some advice on how to raise 'em.
Vivian Manning-Schaffel: Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, 74 years ago, the formidable Louise Hunter gave birth to 21 -- yes, 21 -- natural children. Today she is the proud grandma of 60, and great-grandma of 55!
After a kind stranger gave her an 18-room house, sparing her family from eviction in the late '60s, Hunter's faith guided her to open the Love and Charity Mission, feeding and housing anywhere between 30 and 40 people in Racine, WI, at any given time, herself.
In recognition of her charity work, Louise has appeared on many television news programs, has received numerous awards and recognitions -- including the Equal Rights award, and the prestigious Jefferson award -- and has even been honored with her own holiday!
Who better to ask for advice on raising kids?
"The best advice I could give today is to give your kids a lot of love. And be faithful to your kids," says Hunter, a devout Christian. "What I mean by being faithful to your kids -- try to raise them in the right way."
Raising a brood so large was not without its challenges. Hunter says she did it with a firm hand and soft heart. "I was a very strict mother. I let my kids know that I love them, but that they had to obey me," she says. "I've never had my kids fight with one another. When one of them would start something, the other would come to me and tell me. Then I would call that child and ask what their problem was and encourage them to help each other. You can do it if you show love and you teach love. Don't be afraid to say no. Explain that you are trying to protect them and give them lots of hugs and kisses."
Hunter also puts a tremendous value on the family table, especially on Thanksgiving.
"Being the mother of 21 children, no matter what nobody would give us, there's nothing like waking up Thanksgiving morning and having your own dinner with your family, and sitting together with your family, enjoying each other," she says. "We didn't have much. We were a poor family. But we sat and ate together, and God blessed me to use my hands. We may not have had steak and all that other good stuff, but I fixed the beans and the rice and put the bell pepper and the onion and the garlic and let them cook down in their gravy, and cooked up a ton of cornbread and put the egg in it to make it fluffy, and we would sit down and just enjoy ourselves. Kids love to get up in the morning on Thanksgiving and smell the turkey and potato pies in the oven. They need to see Mom making potato salad and all that good stuff. If the mother can't cook, she needs to seek someone who can cook. I make some pies and give them to mothers, so they can bake them."
She also says volunteering and helping the less fortunate in her community instilled a sense of humility into her children. "I taught them to help one another. What do you mean about helping one another? Whatever you find that somebody is in need, regardless of what it is, we try to find whatever they need to make them happy. Right now, we are getting ready to give away 100 turkeys to make somebody happy!"
Through her exhaustive efforts, Hunter is about to hold a fundraiser to keep her Love and Charity Mission alive. If you'd like to help Louise Hunter feed and house the homeless, please send your donations to:

C'mon! Do it! It's Thanksgiving weekend, for crying out loud. I don't know about you, but I'm thankful for folks like Louise, who care enough about others to make such a difference in their lives.

First I would have to say that to validate the 'you will make up anything during hypnosis' portion of this video, I would need a considerable more test subjects than one. Secondly, with the ongoing discovery of new planets and the amount we have to look at, Marjorie Rice's research may have been inaccurate, but only allows Betty Hill's 'Star Map' to probably match up with millions more. I believe this video is disinformation. Planting the seed of doubt where uncertainty remains. I think there is more to the ufo/alien phenomenon than has ever been publicized. And it's tactics like these that keep 'things' at a manageable level. There are those who know....and they also know there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.

dynamic accelerationA feature supported by some mice drivers that causes the mouse resolution to depend on how fast the mouse is moved. When you move the mouse fast, the cursor moves proportionally further (the resolution is low). This is useful for jumping across the screen. Without this feature, you might need to sweep the mouse several times to move the cursor from one side of the display screen to the other. When you move the mouse slowly, the resolution increases to enable you to pinpoint specific pixels.
Dynamic resolution is also called ballistic tracking, automatic acceleration, variable acceleration, and dynamic acceleration.

SALISBURY, Md. - From back flips to aerial tricks and slick dance moves, Sabrina Brown and the High Voltage All Stars are building quite a name for themselves.
In the past five competitions, they took home 13 first place awards.
Brown is a member of "Power Surge," one of six teams within the Salisbury based organization taking titles and trophies across Maryland and Virginia.
There's also competitive dance teams, special needs teams and even mini cheer teams. "We're here all the time, working on new skills and trying to achieve more than we already have," said Brown.
Despite the obvious technical difficulty and physical demands, Brown says the most painful part is convincing nay-sayers that cheering is a sport.
"They view it as a sideline thing, when actually, we're athletes ourselves," said Brown. "Practice is six times a week for some people. We put a lot of work into what we do."Success, they say, comes from complete commitment, which may seem like a lot for such young people. But for Brown, it's worth it."Cheerleading is my life," said Brown. "I've tried other things but this is what it's always come back to."

Monday March 31, 2008
Courier-Journal Article March 30, 2008More than 5,500 volunteers representing more than 250 community organizations picked up trash yesterday during the Brightside/Citi Spring Community-Wide Cleanup, event organizers said.
The organization supplies volunteers with gloves and bags for litter-pickup efforts regularly but yesterday's cleanup was an annual event.
Gunterman said participation in the event has grown steadily, noting that about 1,000 volunteers showed up in 2006.
Neighborhood, civic, youth and faith-based groups participated yesterday, and they were able to pick the area they wanted to clean up, Gunterman said.
"We like that the groups can designate where they want to work because it allows for extra meaning in the work they do," she said.
The Newburg Neighborhood Youth Council had the largest group with about 300 registered volunteers, Brightside said.
Gunterman said she did not yet know how much trash was collected yesterday, but a similar event last year collected 30 tons.
Reporter Sara Cunningham can be reached at (502) 582-4335.

At the end of a long day of rehearsals, I often sit and think to myself, "Where did I start this morning?" No, not at my apartment…today really got started in Act Two of Götterdämmerung. I call this scene the "Breakfast Nook," which is as good a place as any to begin the day. This small scene takes place during Hagen's dream in which his father Alberich visits him and urges him to win back possession of the Ring from Siegfried. Hagen then wakes up and calls the vassals together for a double wedding of Brünnhilde to Gunther and Siegfried to Gutrune. [Left: Andrea Silvestrelli (Hagen)]
