Marketing--a bad field to be in right now?

I cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong to not be able to get a marketing position, two years after graduating with my Bachelor's. In spite of not having done an internship ( I know, big mistake, but i worked full time and couldnt afford to take an unpaid internship) while in school, I know that I should be able to get a position somewhere, even without experience.

Curling Is Harder Than It Looks Erik Deckers Laughing Stalk Syndicate Copyright 2009 Several weeks ago, I had the chance to fill a years-long dream I've had: I got to go curling.

This just in, video games make kids smarter

I grow tired of hearing how video games are responsible for making our kids fat and lazy. I say nuts to those reports. I think video games make them smarter. Want proof? Fair enough. Try these on for size: Mario teaches kids to read Kids love Mario games. But the problem with the older Mario games is that they give you instructions on what to do next by putting paragraphs upon paragraphs of sentences on the top of the screen.

Following my favorite sports teams shouldn’t be this difficult

I grew up in Wisconsin and, although I now live in Indiana, I still love reading news articles about the Green Bay Packers and University of Wisconsin Badgers. Since I don't get a Wisconsin newspaper I usually resort to reading articles on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel web site. Ok, truth be told, even if I did live in Wisconsin, I still wouldn't get a newspaper. It's just too easy to read everything onlin… Continue
