When can I call myself a successful entrepreneur?
My name is Louis, and I've always felt that my path in life has never fit with the typical hours of the 9-5 cubicle career that so many others are content with. I enjoy having control and determining things for myself, rather than allowing others to dictate what, when, and how I should do...

Why are there no scholarships specific to graduate school?
I am applying to graduate school, and many scholarships (70% I would say) are specific to undergraduate studies. In addition, there are very specific graduate school scholarships around stem, a field I have no interest in. #stem #college #college-advice #graduate-school #financial-planning...
If medicine improves and allows people to live much longer lives, how will we provide for everyone?
As medical technology improves, people live longer, healthier lives. Anti-aging technologies are getting better and better. If people start regularly living to 100 or longer, or if human life is extended even further beyond natural limits, how we provide for everyone? How will people in my...
If many jobs in the future (perhaps MOST jobs) will be replaced by machines and Artificial Intelligence, what should we be studying in college?
I read Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano" as well as several of his short stories that depict a future in which all "jobs" have been eliminated - machines do everything. The people who have meaningful work find their life has less meaning. They ask, "What are humans FOR?" So, I wonder what...

Why don't admissions officers tell students why they were rejected?
I have been receiving my college acceptance (and sadly, rejection) letters lately. I understand that admission officers have to read literally thousands of applications but it hurts to not know why you weren't selected for their school. There are students out there getting rejected by their...
