Tree Huggers, Geologists, and Historians!

The cutting of trees at UC Berkeley commenced last Friday, despite months of protesting and protestors living in those trees. 

The tree cutting is supposed to make room for a new stadium (albeit to bring in more revenue for the school) despite the fact that it will be in close proximity to the Hayward Fault. Even worse, the area is home to a Native American burial ground. 

It is sad that UC Berkeley is determined to build this stadium.  Even the current stadium (that ginormous one where all the football games are played) shows damage from the Hayward Fault.  

I should have gone to a real Ivy or Cal

A recent study by PalScale Inc. found that Ivy Leaguers get paid more than non-Ivy Leaguers, irrespective of major.

Blah.

See the Wall Street Journal article here.

Even more depressing (just a tad), Cal alum have a higher starting median salary ($59,900) and a higher mid-career median salary ($112,000) than us UCLA alum with $52,600 and $101,000, respectively. boo...

Luckily for me, the History and Political Science majors will pay off...someday.
