If everyone went to college, what would the world be like? Many people think that college is necessary to go anywhere or do anything in life. A college degree is not always the answer.

Dr. Homer C. Rice, a former college athletics director at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) said that a coach can motivate by fear, and can motivate by reward but both are only temporary.

The Missing Evidence- The Lost City of Atlantis It was spring break of 2012. I was in Puerto Rico because I had a duty that I needed to commit in order to get my Ph.D. in archaeology for the Florida International University.
