Fortunately, there is an alternative to the standard university

One of the most efficacious means of increasing one's earning power and/or prospects for advancement in the corporate world is via the attainment of an advanced degree. Today, advanced degree completion is almost what a four-year college degree was just a few short years ago--it is becoming a prerequisite for business advancement.

The prospect of going back to school, unfortunately, is unattractive to many people. They don't want to deal with the inflexible schedules, overpriced texts, outrageous tuition costs and other problems. Fortunately, there is an alternative to the standard university. One can earn a ms, ma or mba online through a university dedicated to distance learning.

Capella University, for instance, has been helping students to complete their degrees via the internet for nearly fifteen years. They boast a virtual enrollment of over 15000 students and are recognized by the Higher Learning Commission and other bodies. If you are looking for a way to move up a few rungs on the corporate ladder, you may want to consider your online options.

Spears Kid Makes Esquire

Britney Spears, whose fame continues despite an apparent disinterest in creating any new material, dumped $5K on clothes at a trendy LA clothier in the same amount of time it takes to watch a re-run of Gilligan's Island. According to a UK paper who was stalking/tracking/watching the teen icon-turned-mommy, she spent a good portion of her time checking out the baby clothes.

That attention to youngster wardrobe landed her kid, Sean Preston, on Esquire's best-dressed list, believe it or not. Most of us are content to put our kids into something that at least vaguely matches and are cool with t-shirts from retailers of personalized baby gifts. Then again, most of our kids don't make Esquire.
