If any readers are about to graduate from college, and are worried about getting a job, I would urge them to consider the Teach for America program. Not only will this help bridge the gap between well funded schools and not so well funded schools, people in this program will also be paid and trained. It's a great way to help. And for everyone else, become a tutor, teach a kid to read or do math. It's so rewarding, and helps bring up achievement.
