Can you help me get a job?
By Dr. Scott Alsobrooks/Guest Columnist
Over the course of a typical week I have many people ask for career guidance, or help with getting a job.

Quantity versus quality
By Dr. Scott Alsobrooks/PRCC/Guest Columnist
The length of the school year seems to be a hotly debated topic as of late; especially with the move that the Mississippi Legislature made to move the start date for public education back to late August.
