Is the Master's Degree Enough?. Top Story - November 2018.
I have an undergraduate education, and it is not enough. I started my master's degree chasing environmentalism, environmental resource management, and environmental planning. In each of the programs I was in, I saw more and more people return to school in search of a way to move up the corporate ladders and pay levels. I now have a master's degree in another field. I don't regret moving subject areas, and more importantly, I don't regret leaving a course-based master's for a thesis-based program. Here are some of the reasons why.

Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov Come to Warwick University!
On Saturday, November 24, Warwick University's Poker Society (WSP) will hold a 24 hour charity event. Both donations and the money placed into each poker game will be presented to "Raising for Effective Giving" (REG). This charitable organisation aims to create "a world where all people use evidence and rationality to have the biggest impact with their philanthropy," in which the group attempts to "empower people to make better giving choices by promoting the idea of effective giving, providing donation advice to individuals and organizations, and supporting fundraising campaigns and events."

Surviving Working Retail During the Holiday Season
I've been working part time in retail for two years now at a local mall that is relatively busy year round. The store I work at is pretty popular, so things tend to get busy after Halloween. I remember how hectic my first holiday season was at work, but I can promise you, you can (and will) handle it. Here are five ways to help make this holiday season in retail one to remember.

Why the World Does Not Owe Your Story an Audience (and How to Find One Anyway)
I want you to ask yourself how many messages you've been bombarded with since you woke up this morning. The first one was probably your alarm, giving you the signal to start your day. If you're like me, you had to receive this message several times before you took action on it. Then your bare feet may have received a message in the form of that autumnal nip, and you knew it would be a 'proper shoes' kind of day.

Summer in the Sea
When I was in undergrad, I got myself a paid island vacation. I applied for the one Canadian Internship at the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo and got it! I pestered the shit out of those poor admin people of course. I had almost become content working at my partner's parents' store all summer, even did training because I hadn't heard back, but I wasn't satisfied with this outcome. So, I called again, and again, and again, AND finally, I got the email saying I had been selected. Commence booking a flight and figuring out what food I could not live without that needed to come with me.

Opening Myself Up for Other Opportunities
All of a sudden my perspective changed again. I started to think about ways to make my exit. Even though I had been showing up everyday and fighting the good fight, I was done. Even me being there was too much support for a company being led in a way I didn’t agree with. I continued to do what I had been doing for the last three years and show up to work with courage, but I was done.
