I found the front page of the NY Times today to be really dull. The cover story about Mahmoud Abbas was too long and wordy; the delayed lead did not draw my attention and I lost interest fast. It would have been much more appealing to me for the writer to get right to the point that Palestinians are “pursuing a seat in the U.N.”
However, the story about young adults and the new health law really got my attention! I don’t know if this story would have been appealing to older readers, but I’m sure the younger population of the Times was appreciative of this story. In the new law, a person can be covered as a dependent by their parents until they are 26, instead of 18 or 21. Awesome! It’s too bad that this law had to come into effect, though, that our economy is SO BAD that there is not a lot of hope with finding jobs straight out of college and adults will still need to rely on their parents.
So right after I read that article, feeling down about the job industry, I read the article that informed me that applicants are up for graduate school but enrollment has dropped; most of these fields include business, education, and public administration. Nice! So can grad schools not fund all of these students? I want to be a teacher and have to attend graduate school in order to be a teacher in most states. Maybe I’ll move to a foreign country and be a teacher there. But in all seriousness…I was angered after reading the Times today. Our economy growing worse and worse each day.
