What does that mean for the future of Greek reforms? Looking forward to your comments on this!

Of course you have heard of MIT’s media lab but the reason I am posting this is just two words that the lab’s new director said  in this video: “social enterpreneurs”. That’s right, many students out there with the new technology and global networking are thinking out the box and promoting enterpreneurship at this (and of course the traditional) level can have a dramatic impact in our lives in the future.

Have a look at this articles, I found the first referenced in Bloomberg. They are for the US but have value added if you are out there looking for work. The first article is about the 10 best college careers while the second one is for the 10 worst ones. Please read them carefully to understand the data and assumptions on which their conclusions are based.

A YouTube video of Professor Slavoj Žižek on capitalism and fighting against it, worth your time. The message is clearly important: do you think before getting caught into acting without thinking? Sent by our graduate student Theodore Daskalopoulos with thanks.
