eBay Now Relies on PayPal for 37% of Its Revenue

Personally, I love PayPal. I know that some people feel nickeled and dimed to death by recent fee changes. I tend to watch how I use the site and try to avoid as many fees as possible.

I can’t imagine trying to work and play online without sites such as eBay and PayPal. It amazes me that there are still companies not fully utilizing the full potential of the internet. Then again, who fully understands its true potential? It just seems like there are so many opportunities to move business activity online that aren’t quite there yet.

Advice Goddess Blog – College Degree Snobbery

I find myself on the other side of the debate. I’m not being held back due to a lack of a college degree, I can’t find anything even with two bachelors degrees. Let’s face it: There are plenty of intelligent people without college degrees. There are also plenty of underemployed people with college degrees at this point.

If you read the entire post, including comments, there are some valuable points made. Quite frankly, the entire employment system in this country needs an overhaul. No one wants to admit it, and no one is offering solutions.
