Derby: When will equal opportunity mean equal risk?
In Warren Farrells book Myth of Male Power , Farrell makes (over several chapters which is far too much to quote) a compelling case that men take jobs which result in far greater numbers of them dying than do women.
In fact 24 of the 25 most dangerous jobs are done by men. These range from mining to garbage collection to firefighting.
In addition to this, he points out that in the military, women can elect to be excluded from combat, and cites an example where, in the Navy, 40% of women on a particular ship became pregnant once it was clear that they would be serving in active duty (he doesn't mention how many women were on the ship - it could have been as few as 2 ou...

Derby: broadcasting/photography degrees?
Okay.
I'm a senior in highschool and I've always been debating between Broadcast communications and Photography.
I've decided to lean more towards broadcast because I think it'll open up more job opportunities for me BUT I'd like to attend a school that also has photography as a minor option. [Broadcast would be my major]
I was in love with SCAD-Atlanta with cnn right there. however it's a little too costly for my means.
So my question is, does any one know of or attend (preferably) a university or school that offers these programs or one that is known for turning out successful people and that offers a good program.
I'm lookin at schools on the ...

Derby: When our economy ultimately goes bust, will you be happy just to work in one of Obama's forced labor gulags?
Taken from an Obama speech:
Today, AmeriCorps - our nation's network of local, state and national service programs - has 75,000 slots. I know firsthand the quality of these programs. My wife Michelle once left her job at a law firm to be the founding director of an AmeriCorps program in Chicago that trains young people for careers in public service. These programs invest Americans in their communities and their country. They tap America's greatest resource - our citizens.
As President, I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots, and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing...

Derby: More help with employment law?
My manager requested a meeting with me today, and regrettably handed me a letter that states that after 5 months of my employment i am required to attend a meeting on monday, where a decision will be made on my continued employment.
It states that because the of the unforseen financial events of late, which is beyond their control, that has affected the company's ability to continue with my employment.
- Im confused!
Firstly, can they do this? I have a contract that states that my probationary period is 3 months. The fact he wrote 5 months in the letter is odd.
Can they use the financial crisis as an excuse? With this in mind, they have just employed 2 in house trainers on Â...
