Video: Is A College Degree Worth The Cost?

Have you been thinking about going to college? 

If you're fresh out of high school it's what many people expect you to do.  Right?

Or maybe you've been caught up in the lousy economy and think to yourself...if I only had a degree.

Well...before you do you rush off to get one you might wanna watch this interesting video posted by The Peter Schiff Show (SchiffReport) on YouTube.

They found "graduates with degrees in mathematics, robotics, neuroscience, engineering, accounting, business administration, economics, biology, communications, graphic design, marketing, and linguistics" working as door-men, bouncers, bartenders, bike-taxi drivers etc.

And worst of all, many of them are under thousands of dollars in crushing debt for student loans.

Still taken from the video - Captions added

I certainly wouldn't tell anyone not to get a degree...but rather to research and carefully select an area of study...one that you know has plenty of good employment opportunities!

AND to avoid student loans!

Yes...not taking student loans may mean you'll have to work your way through school...you may not be able to attend that $25,000.00 a semester school...and it may take you longer to earn a degree...but in the end you won't be saddled with a fortune in debt.


Also be very cautious about those trade schools running ads on TV all day and all night:  "Become a hairstylist... a dental assistant...a graphic artist...a forensic specialist...etc."  I've personally known people who were left with nothing but bills and a worthless diploma after going to one. 

Make sure you ask about job placement too.  Ask how many from each class are employed in that field after graduating...and if they offer placement assistance.  If they get squirley when answering these questions...RUN, FORREST, RUN!!!!!

TRON Inspired - Amazing "Light Suit" Performance

Hello!

I was stumblin' around StumbleUpon.com and came across this pretty amazing TRON inspired "light suit" dance performance.

It was created by a Japanese crew called the Wrecking Orchestra.

It starts a bit slow...in fact the first moves don't start until about 30 seconds in...but it picks up speed from there and by about 1:15 they're rockin'!  " )

Enjoy!

Screen Captures From The Video

Rob Rio Blows Boogie Grandma's Hair Back!!

This video was posted by Boogie Grandma on YouTube...and she mentions her daughter, Connie, and son, Jessie, and writes that they "surprised" her with a concert in her home. 

I don't know who these wonderful people are...BUT the "concert" was by Rob Rio...and I do know who he is!! 

  

Rob Rio is a MONSTER boogie piano player, and you can check him out at robrio.com and if you do a YouTub search for him, you'll find a number of his awesome videos. 

But what makes this video the most fun...is the absolute joy Rob's phenomenal playing gives to Boogie Grandma (and her son and daughter). 

Watch her watch his hands...especially that driving left on the bass lines...and then watch her face...her enjoyment is unmistakable. 

Wish I coulda been sitting with you right there Boogie Grandma!!

So without further delay...here's Saturday Night Special Wild Boogie by Rob Rio (and Boogie Grandma!):

I Like Pandas - Animation By Jessica Borutski

Hi-dee-ho!

Ok...for this one we get in the "way back machine" (per internet standards anyway) and set it to 2006 when a young, talented animator named Jessica Borutski posted her animation/video I Like Pandas on YouTube.

It's cute...and a little creepy...but funny creepy...not "dark, back- alley, all alone and hearing foot-steps in the middle of the night creepy".

And it's a little addictive in the sense that you cannot "unsee" it once seen...and the day will come when you want to see it again.   : )

Mwah-hahahahaha

Oops...ok sorry...I got a bit dramatic for a second there.

Here's a look at a "screen-capture" from the video:

Thanks fer droppin' in!

Somebody That I Used to Know - Walk off the Earth (Gotye - Cover)

Two days ago I launched this blog with a great video of awesome people doing awesome things:
http://perfectusstuffus.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-shiney-new-blog.html 
 
I loved the background song and decided to look into it and found it on YouTube (of course).

If you want to find it there just search for:

"Somebody That I Used to Know - Walk off the Earth (Gotye - Cover)"

Otherwise click play below.



If you're like me and are wondering if they can do this performance live...why yes...they can.

After this video went viral (almost 119 million views as of now) they've appeared on Ellen's TV Show performing it live.

Since then they've done it in concerts and on a very odd German show where at the end of the song the hosts (a weird collection of peeps...ruin it by singing along...AT THE TOP OF THEIR SWEET LITTLE LUNGS).

: )

Here's a link to one of the best of the live versions I found...performing it in concert right after their appearance on Ellen...proving they can do it live.

On the German TV show they say it took two days of filming the song for the video posted above  and got the best take on their 30th performance.

Hope yer having a GREAT day!!!

Thanks for stopping by! : )
