Beating the odds: getting a job after college Unemployment rates are a hot topic these days‚ especially with the recent completion of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.

It’s a somber and tragic movie that makes you take a step back and think about bullying. It makes you understand what bullying can do to someone and the pain they can get from it.
