JUST ASKING
Verses of Economy
By STEVE KOLOWICH
Poetry is all about economy. Words are used with precision and thrift. But not all poetry is about economics. In fact, almost none of it is, and that is a tragedy, says Stephen T. Ziliak, an economics professor at Roosevelt University. "An economics without poetry" he says, "is an economics that is blind."
To supplement their studies, Mr. Ziliak encourages his economics students to compose haiku, the Japanese poetry that consists of three lines of verse in a 5-7-5 syllabic order. He assigns haiku challenges for bonus points on exams, and even holds haiku workshops as part of a course on rhetoric in economics.
Q: Mom and Dad, I'm home!
The job market is nasty —
Where is my bedroom?
A: Invisible hand:
Mother of inflated hope,
Mistress of despair!

Higher Paying Jobs
Thank you Yahoo for narrowing the job market for all of those looking to get payed a ton of money per hour.
Yahoo posted today a list of high paying jobs for all of those aspiring to make $40 or more per hour during a work day.
Yahoo was careful to pick one job out of a few different possible fields so that everyone might be able to find something.
Albeit most of these jobs will require an expensive education or lots of experience (i.e. Art Director) it is hopeful to see that there are higher paying jobs out there that are still open at this point.
One of the flourishing fields is medical care. Unsurprising really. Us humans will always need medical attention. Whether it's just a cold that won't go away, to continuing to do that silly thing called having children, to car accidents etc.
So if you can stomach the idea of stiching up someones wounds, poking around in someones intestines during surgery, giving shots, and examining snotty nose kids who will more than likely sneeze in your face, the medical field might be a good thing to look into.

Mer
While I'm sitting here, waiting on dinner to cook and jamming to the easy listening music on the TV guide channel (because there isn't really anything on right now), I thought I'd update since it's been a bit.
Continuing my addiction of games. Thanks to my brother who posted here I have become addicted to yet another game. Kingdom of Loathing (KOL).
It's funny, witty, and just plain simple fun. Go ahead and waste your day, especially that time between when you're supposed to be looking for a job...
