![Politics and Sports: Do Political Views Belong in Professional Sports?]()
November 3, 2020
Most employers in America have rules. It could be a dress code or requiring employees to act a certain way on the job in which an employer wants to be portrayed. For most people in America, there are rules they must follow to be employed, and often this means sticking to actual work rather than getting involved with other employees on political or religious beliefs.
Most employers in the real world know it is important to keep political, religious, and sexual beliefs to a minimum at work. The reason for this is because it can create division and hurt working relationships that can ultimately hurt productivity.
It seems professional athletes and sports teams are given a special pass for drug use or being a felon. They also are able to use their time at work to let everyone know how they feel politically. They are given a pass for not following company culture or tradition.
Everyone has the right to express themselves freely. However, politics and time in the game do not mix.
This podcast talks about why politics do not belong in professional sports.

![Don’t Take a Home Equity Loan for a College Education]()
October 20, 2020
With the rising cost of a college education, it can be challenging to come up with the money to pay for higher education. Student loans, grants, scholarships, and college savings plans can all help with financing a college education. However, sometimes even with several different funding sources there just never seems to be enough money for a college education.
For a homeowner, taking out a home equity loan or line of credit can appear to be a solution to funding a college education. However, the cons of doing this will almost always outweigh the advantages for numerous different reasons.
Borrowing from the equity in a home to fund college is not a good idea. The cost of doing this could end up being the most valuable thing a person has and this is a place to live.
This podcast episode talks about why taking a home equity loan is not a good idea for funding a college education.

Do employers care about age?
The Age Discrimination Employment Act is in place to protect people over the age of 40 in the workplace. The act was formed to prohibit discrimination of employment based on age. This includes hiring and firing. Salary, promotions, training, benefits, and any other terms or conditions of employment are also included.
Although it is not exactly legal for an employer to discriminate based on age, it happens much more frequently than most of the business world would like to admit. Discrimination in the workplace based on age is common and some organizations even make it a regular habit.
This podcast talks about the issues with employment age discrimination.

Colleges are doing a disservice in not advising students to be cautious of incurring student debt. This is particularly the case today when the gamble of a college degree is not quite as good as it once was. Not only are colleges doing a disservice, but also high schools and many academic counselors. Society in general is not helping when it comes to college debt. This is due to the perceptions and expectations that college is the only path to success.
This podcast episode talks about why colleges, high schools, and society, in general, does not talk much about the issues with college debt.
