Good news and bad news for recent college grads. A new report
reports on how much money majors will end up making through the course
of their career. The Georgetown University Center of Education used 2013
cencus data to record how much people made with their degrees in a
lifetime. The Economic Value of College Majors found that college students
on average make about a million dollars more in their lifetimes than
someone with only a high school degree. Science and engineering majors
tend to make on average 3.4 million dollars more than a high school
graduate. Early childhood education is the lowest paying career with an
average salary of thirty nine thousand dollars in the U.S. New Jersey has
slightly higher average salaries, but were still looking at some low paying
jobs. Social work will average about thirty forty nine thousand dollars and it
is the lowest paying job in New Jersey. The study acknowledges that some

people in low paying majors will often get higher paying jobs that arent
connected to their degree. so they say that these numbers and your major
isnt destiny.

Its a sad day for music. King of the Blues- B.B. King died at 9:40 pm
last night at his Las Vegas home at the age of eighty nine. He collapsed in
October while performing in Chicago, and has been in hospice shortly after
that according to ABC News. He died peacefully in his sleep authorities say.
This fifteen time Grammy award winning artist preformed into his eighties
and would sometime perform over two hundred and fifty concerts a year.
Shirley King, B.B. Kings eldest daughter says that she was upset that she
couldnt say goodbye to her dad. His preacher uncle taught him to play
guitar with his Gibson named Lucille. Ive always tried to defend the idea
that the blues doesnt have to be sung by a person who comes with
Mississippi, as I did. He defended the rights of music, that all kinds of music
belongs to everyone. As long as people have problems, blues will never
die.
