Here’s the news that caught my eye today while I rationalized purchasing a $25 Jimi Hendrix hat for my cat. (And you thought Jimi Hendrix only liked dogs.)
- I understand if you don’t yet trust me for student loan information (I did compare student loan forbearance to “Charlie bit my finger again,” after all). But maybe you’ll listen to the guy on the right when he talks about watching out for college loans. I mean, you must be at least a little money savvy to run the federal reserve, right?
- Wondering what Amanda Abella does when she’s not contributing content to SALT? Quite a bit, actually.
- Business Insider lists the 40 highest-paying jobs you can get without a bachelor’s degree. It’s a gallery, so I’ll save you from having to flip through all of them: The top honor belongs to tin pushers. (And they’re hopefully better at it than this guy.)
