Bill Gates College Tour: Billionaire Encourages Students To Teach

Of course, Bill won the "lotto of life" jackpot a long time ago, so it's easy to criticize him. However, think he has great advice for today's grads. As a college prof, I can certainly appreciate his take on guiding more students toward meaningful careers. Of course, meaning is what you make of it, and even in entertainment, and yes, if someone does ever find a cure for baldness, there's meaning in that for many, many people.

Still, bags should fly free, as one airline still does (hmmm - I think that's the one with the blue planes!).
