It’s back-to-school season, but instead of thinking about new books and backpacks we’re worrying about the cost of college.
A Life Inc. post this week about how even wealthy parents may ask their kids to chip in for college sparked a lively discussion over the value of teaching kids financial responsibility along with a higher education.
Of course, parents may be asking kids to help out because even the wealthy can’t afford college anymore. As we noted in this week’s Good Graph Friday college costs have risen faster than health care costs in recent years, which is saying something.
Once they graduate from college and enter the workplace, today’s young people will have plenty of challenges to contend with. Among them: Kissing colleagues and horrible bosses.
A post on whether it’s OK to give your co-workers a professional peck on the cheek generated hundreds of comments on our TODAY Facebook page.
For most of you, any sort of lips-to-skin contact at work is flat out inappropriate. As one commenter put it: “Even though I met my husband at work I still wouldn't kiss him there.”
It’s hard to top the tale of a barista who was harassed by a boss while being transported to the hospital in an ambulance, but from the looks of our comments many of you have had some pretty bad bosses. It’s no wonder so many of us would not recommend our former employers.
