It is a given that college graduates make more money. In fact, according to a new OECD study the average college graduate in America earns over $20,000 a year more than their counterparts without a degree, making the United States one of the best countries in the world to have completed college.

I found this list on the Internet about 49 Things That You Learned In School That Are Now Useless, and I must disagree!

HEY, THANK YOU ! A few weeks ago at Kaplan University at the beautiful new location in the Marketplace @ Augusta 92 Moose did a broadcast to welcome Kaplan to the Augusta area AND to help out some kids in central Maine at back to school time with "Cram the Van".

A THREE year old little boy and his family are being asked to change his sign language name because the Grand Island, Nebraska school deparment feels the gesture, that uniquely means "Hunter Spanjer," violates a rule that forbids anything in the school that looks like a weapon.

It’s time to go back to school. It’s time to hit the books. Nothing is going to stop you from being head of the class.
