8 Great Pep Talks for Generation Jobless
http://www.onlinecollegecourses.com/2011/12/20/8-great-pep-t...
Let's be frank: life sucks a little bit for today's recent graduates. So many of them, despite having expensive college degrees, haven't been able to find the jobs they set out to get hired for. Often, they end up working in low-paying, low-skill jobs with dubious futures, or worse, can't find any jobs at all. This, of course, results in record numbers of college graduates who are now living with their parents, putting pressure on families that are likely to be struggling with both the current economic situation and impending retirement. And as both graduates and parents struggle to stay afloat, student loan bills often begin to roll in. Things just aren't great, and while plenty of people are quick to point out the problems of Generation Jobless, there are a few bright spots in all of the chatter. So if you're over the whole Generation Jobless pity party, take a moment to check out these inspiring pep talks, offering inspiration, ideas, and hope to those who may have run out.

Here, we’ve listed some common scams that criminals use to try to get their hands on your Medicare number and the potential goldmine of benefits it can mean for them.

The 10 Most Educated People on the Planet
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2011/11/22/the-10-most-educate...
For most of us, getting one, two or, more rarely, even three degrees is a struggle. It can take a lot of time, money, and hard work to get through, and many feel a great sense of accomplishment after finishing a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD program (and rightly so). There are others out there, however, that make the rest of us look like underachievers, sometimes earning dozens of college degrees over a lifetime. Some have made the pursuit of knowledge their life’s work and give new meaning to the term “professional student.” Others simply earn degrees as a hobby. Whatever the case, you’ll feel like you need to step up your educational game after reading about these collegiate overachievers, who may be among some of the most educated people on the planet.
