The first article that jumped out at me was "Value of College Degree Growing, Study Says". As a college student looking to graduate in two years with a lifetime of loans to payback, it was interesting and comforting to read about the low unemployment rate for people with college degrees compared to that of people with only high school diplomas. Not only did they have low unemployment rates, but college graduates also earn 79 percent more than high school graduates.
The second article that really interested me was the one about Lady Gaga speaking in Portland, Maine in response to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Many people, including Gaga, were trying to get "Don't Act Don't Tell" repealed for being unconstitutional. I find the issue very interesting and believe that people should be allowed to serve their country no matter what their sexual orientation is. If people are dedicated enough to want to risk their lives in order to protect their country, I believe that they should be allowed to. I would have attended the event if my class and work schedule had allowed me to.
