- 171: Evidence Of Technological Change
- ... of inequality? There has been a fairly steady rightward shift in the educational distribution in the United States over the past half-century. The trends shown in Table 1 imply that the relative supply of college/high school equivalent labor has grown at an average annual rate of 2.9 percent. Further, one might suppose that the huge increase in the private rate of return to investment in a college education associated with the rise in the college/high school relative would cause a large increase in the relative supply of college graduates, which could eventually reduce the wage premium of high-skilled labor. This is the story implicit in Figure 1, ...
- 172: Cigarette Smoking Amond Colleg

However, I focused on the habits of college students only. The main objective of this research is to determine if smoking habits of parents of college students have any influence on the students' decision to smoke or not smoke. There are many questions surrounding for what reasons people smoke. It was interesting to look into the motives for smoking behaviors, especially ... answer alone makes me wonder if the parents of that person had anything to do with their decision to smoke. This leads me into my hypotheses. My first hypothesis is as follows: "A majority of college students who smoke cigarettes do so because their parents smoke or did smoke while they were being raised."

Only the wages of college graduates are up. Of the fastest growing technical jobs, software engineering tops the list. Carnegie Mellon University reports, "recruitment of it's software engineering students is up this year by over 20%." All engineering jobs ... education policy must keep pace with the demands of the highly technical job market. If a middle class income of 1970 required a high school diploma, and the middle class income of 1990 requires a college diploma, then it should be as easy for the children of the 90's to get a college diploma, as it was for the children of the 70's to get a high school ...

- ... as if it forever. All around her she could smell the stench of burning rubber. Apparently Beverly had been invited to spend the summer with her mother’s cousin Verna for the summer while attending college in San Francisco, California. Beverly had never been to college and was actually being pressured by her mother not to go in the first place. It was supposed to be a good school though, even though it was a Jr. College named Chuffy. When she finally arrived in San Francisco she went straight to her cousin’s house. The whole house was painted bright colors, making it seem more fresh and new. Compared to her ...

- 177: Hacking
- ... system (well, ok, I can think of a couple of bigger thrills, but you get the picture.) One of the safest places to start your hacking career is on a computer system belonging to a college. University computers have notoriously lax security, and are more used to hackers, as every college computer depart-ment has one or two, so are less likely to press charges if you should be detected. But the odds of them detecting you and having the personel to committ to tracking you down are slim as long as you aren't destructive. If you are already a college student, this is ideal, as you can legally explore your computer system to your heart's desire, then go out and look for similar systems that you can penetrate with confidence, as you're ...
