1) Survey finds math, science grads earn top dollar - GOOD RECOMMENDATION! (Tom and I have degrees in architecture and Meteorology, respectively)
ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- It seems to matter less whether your alma mater is
public or private than what you study -- math and science in particular
-- when it comes to finding a high-paying job after college, according
to a report released Tuesday by the Education Department. The
survey of the class of 2008, by the National Center for Education
Statistics, found: College grads from private
four-year schools earned about the same as those from public four-year
schools, about $50,000 a year. But while a paltry 16 percent of
students took home degrees in science, technology, engineering or math,
those who did were paid significantly better -- averaging $65,000 a year
compared with $49,500 of graduates of other degrees. FULL STORY: http://www.wtop.com/346/3658340/Degrees-leading-to-fat-paychecks
2) House Benghazi panel may cost $3 million this year - I DON'T GET IT - Read the first paragraph from this USA TODAY story and tell me how you feel about it - This is a NON-story. (and Veterans should be livid about the spending) Terrorists attacked the Embassy, as terrorists have attacked MANY U.S. Embassies. What in the hell are the republicans looking for? Several Embassies were attacked and people killed under Pres. Bush, but did Congress launch Expensive inquiries? NO. WHY? because they're terrorist attacks. DUH.
USA TODAY: WASHINGTON — House Republicans are planning to spend as much as $3.3 million for this year's operations of the special committee they created in May to investigate the September 2012 Benghazi attacks, a bigger budget than the House Veterans Affairs and Ethics committees were given this year.
