Obama, McCain on education
The economy, war and energy crisis all are more important issues facing the nation than education, according to an AP-Ipsos poll in July. But if you’re reading this blog, then education most likely does interest you.
So now that Barack Obama and John McCain have both formally accepted their nominations and spoken to the nation from their respective conventions, I thought I’d post information about each of their education plans. They all have a lot of ideas, so following are the links to the details of them.

Poke around, read both sides, and come back here to share your thoughts.

I only recently completed my secondary studies and it has suddenly occured to me that I have absolutely no idea of the career road i’m going to choose. I have always been a “teachers pet” sort of student, but now that i’ve experienced a few months in the real world, I feel that I have been focusing too much on unrealistic goals. I feel it’s come to a point where i’m goint to have to seek out some kind of career tips or something of that nature to guide me in the right direction. Is there anyone that has been in the same boat?
