Starting from their initial salaries, female college students will most likely earn less than their male counterparts after graduation.

It’s 2017 and women, on average, still don’t get paid as much as men. That’s more than half a century after Congress enacted the Equal Pay Act in 1963.

Class of 2016 graduates are determined to find careers they love even if it means finding jobs that are unrelated to their undergraduate degrees.

Steve Jobs taught me how to not be scared to dream big. I have learned to not fear failure, but to always try to innovate throughout my career.

On Wednesday, the world lost one of its most influential people to have ever lived: Steve Jobs.

Jobs battled pancreatic cancer since mid-2004 and was forced to take several medical leaves from his position as CEO of Apple to deal with his health. Throughout his arduous battle with cancer, Jobs maintained his charm, demeanor and style that elevated Apple to the status of an innovator, not just a technology developer.
