Tuesdays with Muerte

Click to Enbiggen Is going to college really worth it? Probably so, but economists have been arguing the point for 30 years. Most studies show that college-educated workers make far more money in the course of their lifetimes. Still, that evidence isn’t totally cut and dry: What do you really learn in college? Is what you learned in college really what’s producing the value? Or is it simply the mere fact of having a college degree? Should there be an alternative to college?… Currently, there aren't many alternatives.  There are college dropouts who either become entrepreneurs or are sickeningly creative and don't need what universities have to offer.  There are corporate universities which train employees to master task-specific skills.  Master-apprentice relationships do exists, but not really in the corporate world.  If you are really resourceful you can self-educate on the web.  Computer programmers do that.  I imagine, as technology make...

“ This is soul diva Alicia Keys before she was famous bouncing on Bill Cosby’s knee . The Empire State Of Mind singer was just four-years-old when she appeared on the Cosby Show with the comic legend who played family man Cliff Huxtable. Keys had just a brief appearance on screen as she took part in a sleepover with pals of the Huxtables’ daughter Rudy. Speaking of her appearance on the U.S. show, Keys said: ‘It was a really, really good memory for me. The whole cast was so cool. We would sit on that big, huge couch and stuff and we all had to sit on Cosby’s knee. He always tried to knock us off of his knee with the bucking horse thing. Of course, my favorite part was winning the game, because I was the winner.” ( 2 minute 41 seconds .) Slumber Party , Season 1 Ep. 22
