This article talks about how oil prices are vastly climbing due to the tension in the middle east. While this may be true, I believe that people just need to stop being greedy and do what's best for the country. I know that that's not going to happen any time soon, but we can hope. It was stated that the gas prices have climbed 20 cents this past week. The price per barrel has also risen quite a bit in that past months. The writer talked about how in the near future, the gas prices will rise more gradually than they have been. He also thought that the issues with gas prices relate to the fighting and protesting in Libya and Iran. Personally, this is pretty scary to me. Maybe the growth isnt related to the middle east issues. I think that people should start riding bikes and taking the bus. Carpooling is also a good way to save money and also save the environment.

[|Current Event] This article talks about the problems with getting a job. It addresses the magazines and articles that list "good jobs" and encourage people to apply. While these are aiming in the right direction, most of the jobs that are listed dont make good money and/or take several years of training. So, to fix this, they decided to make thier own list of jobs that make good money and that you can obtain with two years maximum of experience. They mention Mobile applications developer, Global Supply Chain Manager, Financial Advisor, and Online Marketing Director. All of these jobs make about 100,000+ at least. Most require knowledge on technology but they are all growing industries. My personal favorite would be the mobile applications developer. It requires creative thinking, innovation, and knowledge of technology. This job seems like it will be continuously growing for quite some time.
