Comment in the west, it's time to shun college (Score -1, Offtopic) 135

Never mind the central banks efforts to pump the markets with their injections, the ability to generate real wealth is being destroyed. Already young college degree holders are already either unemployed or waiting tables.

Spend your time learning a skill that will be worth something in a depression.

Hence their periodic table includes both.[58] IUPAC prefers the use of aluminium in its internal publications, although nearly as many IUPAC publications use the spelling aluminum." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium
