College is more valuable than ever these days, according to a recent report in the San Francisco Chronicle. And for the class of 2007, that statement is even truer. The job market is better than it’s been in years for college graduates. Large employers expect to increase their hiring of college graduates by 17 percent compared to last year. Over the next decade, there will be 14 million new jobs out there for people entering a profession for the first time. In fact, colleges are having to move their career days and fairs to larger facilities because so many companies are trying to recruit college grads. It will continue for those students who still have a few years left, as well. So, if you started college but never finished, now would be a good time to get back in school and get that degree. Maybe work during the day and take classes at night. We are entering a “golden age” of employment and the money you’ll make with a degree will be much higher comparatively.

Clark has outstanding news for you about buying a new car. Economists often measure the affordability of the auto market by how many weeks of pay it would take the average person to buy a car. Today, it takes the average person 23 weeks of pay to buy a new car. That is just about the lowest number ever. Over the past decade, the typical amount has been 31 weeks. Not to mention that cars weren’t as safe or well-made. Competition has also added to the reduction in prices. So, it’s basically the “golden age” for buying cars. One example involves Chrysler. The company has so many extra cars on lots that it is offering a manufacture-subsidized lease on the Jeep Commander. This is one of only two exceptions Clark makes to his never-lease policy. The company is offering a two-year, three-month lease on the Commander for $169 a month. The payment for purchasing the Jeep is more than $400 a month. And, you can lease some cars from Chrysler for as little as $118 a month, according to the Detroit News. It could be even better for you if you wait two or three years. The market is going to be flooded with used Jeep Commanders and the deals will be unbelievable.
