Jill Biden to Teach at Northern Virginia Community College
Northern Virginia Community College has attracted what’s becoming an increasingly well-known face, Jill Biden, Ed.D., the wife of Vice President Joe Biden.
I’m glad to see Dr. Biden take up the opportunity to stay in academia, and I’m even happier to see that she has chosen a community college over some of the higher-profile institutions in the area such as Georgetown, George Washington, George Mason, or even American.
With the economy in the tank, many people are finding themselves unemployed or unhappy with their current positions. One would hope that with this being the case, more Americans will take advantage of the vast network of community colleges across the country and get the skills they need to obtain a more desirable (and profitable) career.
Who knows, maybe Dr. Biden will have the power to convince her husband to push more agressivelly for student loan funding instead of sod for the National Mall and money for groups like ACORN.
In terms of a higher yielding long term investment, I think education will provide much better returns in both the short and long-run than any voter registration group.
