I recently had a conversation about leadership with the owner of what I would call a big, small company. He employs about 800 people, so not a small company but not really a big one either. Anyway, we were talking about what type of person he generally tries to employ. He said he only hires people who want to be leaders. He went on to explain that having the opportunity to lead others, and not taking advantage of it, is a terrible waste.

The cost of a college degree in the United States has tripled since 1980. Since access to a college education has long been a bipartisan priority, Congress and the Executive branch have attempted to keep pace with skyrocketing tuition. Over the past half century, Congress has authorized many new programs to assist students in paying tuition. Despite this cooperative effort, student aid programs have failed to keep pace with rising tuition because colleges just boost their tuition ever higher.

As political tensions and visibility have risen ahead of the November presidential election, hip-hop figures remain a focal point.
