Tertiary education: learning is priceless

Have you seen the new MasterCard commercial? The one with schoolboys and their backpacks?

• The first one does a Michael Jackson dance, voice over says something like: backpack x dollars.
  
• Second one comes in and joins the dance; voice over says something: dancing shoes x dollars.
  
• Third one comes in to join the dance; voice over says something like: finding someone you can be bad with, priceless.

Very well done!

Finding folks with whom you share common interests and goals is greatly enabled with the internet and Web 2.0 type applications. Amongst LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and a host of other tools, with very little effort one should be able to find where you'd you like.
