Job seeking has become ridiculous Next, employers will be screening candidates' DNA for genetic defects. Whatever happened to screening for competence??

Pfft. It's not the calories, you dolt Ronald, it's the quality of the food. About 30 minutes after eating McDonald's food, I feel like I've been poisoned. The McMuffin, in my opinion, is especially bad. Egg "product"? No, thank you. I can cook half-a-dozen *real* eggs at home, put *real* cheese on them, and they'll be ...more

I can't remember the last time I actually ordered pizza from a major pizza chain. I prefer to eat from local Italian restaurants or make my own from scratch. The best pizza I've had came from Scittino's Deli in Catonsville, MD. Their Sicilian Works pizza runs about $25, but it's worth every penny. I'd rather have that ...more

Don't know when you last checked tuition rates at a state university, but it's no longer anywhere near $30,000 for all that you said. At my alma mater (a 2nd-tier state university), full-time tuition for just basic Gen Ed undergraduate courses currently stands at about $4,000 a semester. That does NOT include books, ro...more

You are right on. The rampant hypocrisy in this country sickens me.

Once upon a time, public high schools offered such finance courses. When my mom was in high school 30 odd years ago, she took one. It taught her how to write a check, balance her checkbook, make a household budget and so forth. But all those classes have been removed over the years (along with PE, art, music, home econ...more

Are you sure you're talking about college students and not Wall Street executives?
