Money in the bank

A college degree, according to a recent study, gives you a return on investment (cost of education versus 30 years of increased earnings) of 9% each year.

The S&P 500 returned 11.9% for the same investment.

Thus... a high school grad who invested the same amount 30 years ago would be ahead of what a college grad paid to go on to higher education.

Gold has returned 2.6%... and 30 year treasuries 4%.

Apparently 101 all-industry recruiters are going to put a chapter each together on 101 great ways to enhance your career.

Do any of you have any particular hot-buttons on things that you would like me to discuss?
