Dirty Little Secret: Almost Nobody Cleans Contacts Properly : Shots - Health Blog

npr:

n a survey of more than 400 contact lens wearers, Dwight Cavanagh, a clinical professor of ophthalmology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, found that just 2 percent of them are following the rules for safe contact lens use. Chief among the sins is showering or swimming while wearing contacts, sleeping in them and using them longer than recommended before throwing them out.

Hmm didn’t know about the shower or swimming. It’s easier to swim without glasses on your face

how incredibly perfect.  I can be happy, but then sometimes everything just hurts and sucks so bad and not because of anyone in particular that I wonder how I can be so smart and energetic but still not know how to just be happy. (via itsnotsavannah)

So it’s not just me

The Master’s as the New Bachelor’s

infoneer-pulse:

Call it credentials inflation. Once derided as the consolation prize for failing to finish a Ph.D. or just a way to kill time waiting out economic downturns, the master’s is now the fastest-growing degree. The number awarded, about 657,000 in 2009, has more than doubled since the 1980s, and the rate of increase has quickened substantially in the last couple of years, says Debra W. Stewart, president of the Council of Graduate Schools. Nearly 2 in 25 people age 25 and over have a master’s, about the same proportion that had a bachelor’s or higher in 1960.

“Several years ago it became very clear to us that master’s education was moving very rapidly to become the entry degree in many professions,” Dr. Stewart says. The sheen has come, in part, because the degrees are newly specific and utilitarian. These are not your general master’s in policy or administration. Even the M.B.A., observed one business school dean, “is kind of too broad in the current environment.” Now, you have the M.S. in supply chain management, and in managing mission-driven organizations. There’s an M.S. in skeletal and dental bioarchaeology, and an M.A. in learning and thinking.
