When I was 16, my grandma started to forget things like turning off the stove and mistaking sugar for salt. Memory loss is one of the earliest symptoms of dementia and is often noticed first by other people besides the affected individual. My mom would visit my grandma daily while my sister and I accompanied her on weekends. It struck me that, although she couldn't remember my name, she never forgot about the value of getting an education. Despite everything, some memories remain intactThe weekend before my 17th birthday, my grandma was receiving palliative care at a hospital for pneumonia.

AdvertisementIt's also important, Woodrow said, to have the right words and phrases up high where a busy recruiter can see them. In any case, he said, it's important to keep the most relevant information on the first page of a résumé. Highlight things like relevant job experience for a role you're going for, he said. "We're not expecting to see the exact same formatting or skills or experience, and so we really pore through the résumé," Samuels said. That's why, especially when recruiting for more senior roles, there's little substitute for reading a résumé thoroughly, he said.

Federal graduate school loans are more expensive, too, with higher interest rates than loans for undergraduate studies. On top of that, 55% of master's degree-holders have debt from both their undergraduate and graduate studies, owing an average total of over $69,000. Similar to undergraduate degrees, science, technology, engineering and math-related master's degrees tend to lead to higher-paying salaries compared with degrees in the arts and humanities. That said, these are the 10 master's degrees with the highest average starting salaries for the class of 2022, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. In fact, fewer than 60% of master's degree programs deliver a positive return on investment, according to a recent study by The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity.

Before co-founding Netflix, Reed Hastings thought another of his business ideas would become a household name.

"It was a terrible idea, but I was equally committed to that terrible idea as I was to Netflix," he said. In the case of the foot mouse, Hastings was a Stanford graduate student at the time, working toward his master's in computer science. He even hired a mechanical engineering graduate student to mockup a prototype.

The DC area's high retirement incomes stem mainly from higher pension and IRA incomes instead of Social Security payments, which are lower than many other cities in the top 20. This breaks down into $51,344 in retirement account income and $28,219 in Social Security income. Though not in the top 10 overall, Ann Arbor ranked highest for Social Security income at $30,428, followed closely by Carmel, Indiana, at $30,069.

☆ This type of employee is more prone to burnout, says Ivy League stress expert—here's why
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-13 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

You don't need to hate your job to experience burnout. For her new book, "Burnout Immunity," Wiens interviewed hundreds of people working in high-stress environments, including hospital employees, police chiefs and financial executives. She found that the people at the highest risk of burnout aren't just those with demanding jobs — they genuinely love their work and routinely go the extra mile. While identifying yourself through your work isn't necessarily bad, it makes you vulnerable to burnout if you make too many personal sacrifices and lose sight of your own self-care. Much of the same vulnerability to burnout exists in people who are passionate about their work and prioritize their employer's needs and goals over their own, Wiens notes.

▼ + stars: | 2024-05-02 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Research dating back decades has found that emotional intelligence is the greatest predictor of success in the workplace. Having a high EQ can also help you manage stress and curb burnout, according to Kandi Wiens, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Master's in Medical Education program. For her new book, "Burnout Immunity," Wiens interviewed hundreds of people thriving in high-stress environments, including hospital employees and police chiefs who remained motivated and optimistic while working as first responders at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Wien suggests paying close attention to how you cope with stress to gauge your emotional intelligence at work. As Wiens explains in "Burnout Immunity," cultivating healthier responses to stress can prevent burnout, which stems from chronic, unmanaged stress.
