Six years ago, in a bizarre twist of fate worthy of a Lifetime movie or, say, an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, talk show queen and bath connoisseur Oprah Winfrey discovered that she had a secret half-sister named Patricia, whom her mother had given up for adoption when Oprah was 9. After the discovery, Oprah bought her sister a house, and gave her a monthly allowance so that she could pursue her dream of going to college, and this weekend, she accomplished just that.

On Sunday, Patricia graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, with Oprah and her partner, Stedman Graham, in the audience. And while it was a momentous day for the family, no one was more excited than the other UWM graduates who were stunned to see Oprah in the stands.

The blaze broke out in Ruggles Hall, an eight-story co-ed dormitory on W. 114th St. near Amsterdam Ave. at about 11:15 p.m., according to authorities.“It smelled like someone was roasting marshmallows,” said seventh-floor resident Johain Ounadjela, 20. “We didn’t think anything of it–we thought someone was just cooking and set off the fire alarm.”His roommate, Solomon Rice, 20, who at first thought the late-night alarm might be a drill, soon heard fellow students in distress.

DUT, university degrees, masters: the real numbers of the professional insertion

Find a job when you leave the college? It is (almost) easy according to the latest statistics of the Ministry of Higher Education.

Clichés have a hard time: for many parents, the university does not have a good press because of the so-called mediocre job placement of recent university graduates . Well, a few weeks before the beginning of the vows phase for higher education enrollments, a survey published by the ministry should reassure them a little. Conducted between December 2015 and April 2016, this study, the seventh of its kind, focuses on the situation of the 2013 graduates of DUT (Bac +2), professional degree (Bac + 3) and university masters (Bac + 5), ten eight months and then thirty months after the end of their studies.

The results? Rather comforting especially as the unemployment rate among people under 25 years remains very high (25%). Thus, a year and a half after leaving the university, 81% of holders of a DUT who do not pursue their studies have a position (+2 points compared to the previous survey). This rate rises to 85% for graduates of a master (+1 point) and even 88% in professional license (stable over one year)! Logically, the data improves again when the cursor is placed at thirty months after the end of the studies, with 90% of insertion for the DUT and masters and 92% in pro license.

These good figures, corroborated by those published by other organizations such as Apec for example, must however be nuanced. First, because stable job rates (which curiously include self-employed workers with permanent contracts ...) are less brilliant, 60% in master's degree, 62% in DUT and 65% in professional degree. Certainly, the department prefers to insist on data at 30 months. But that means for a young graduate to wait more than two years before hoping for a stable job. Moreover, the survey does not specify whether the search time to find his first job is lengthening or not.

Another important difference is the insertion differences according to the specificities. To stay only at the Bacs +5, it is better for example to be graduated from a master's degree in computer science (94% of professional insertion) or in economics-management (93%), rather than in sociology (80% ), or in archeology (68%) ... Similarly, the remuneration obtained is significantly different with a range of 1500 euros net per month for historians to ... 2,500 euros net per month for pharmarcians working in industry. That is a difference of 67% from the first job. What to think about before choosing his future sector ...
