It has a number of connections with international businesses, organzations, government agencies and more; allowing you access to the premier leaders in the business world. This is a great location to continue your learning throughout your adulthood. In fact, I just recieved a catalog for their spring and summer programs and I am very interested in a number of courses. They have a wide variety of courses ranging from computer training to photography...you are sure to find something for everyone! Why let learning stop when you graduate...keep your education alive!

New Jersey Has Most $1 Million Households

I just read an article in Newsday that reports that New Jersey has the most millionaire households in the country. According to the report, 7.12 percent of New Jersey's 3.2 million households have a total of $1 million or more in liquid or investable assets. This is an incredible ranking for the Garden State. However, I don't know if this is a good ranking or bad ranking. While it does mean that the home values in New Jersey are higher than other parts in the country, at the same time this means that many people cannot afford these increased home values. This is an incredible balancing act. How are home values in other parts of the country?

Saddle Brook Community School Adult Education

The Saddle Brook Community School Adult Education program has one motto: "Providing a gateway to lifelong learning!" and they sure offer enough programs and trips to satisfy even the pickiest adults! This is a great program for adults of all ages located in the Bergen County, New Jersey area. The programs that I believe are the best are the incredible bus/theater trips. For a very reasonable price, ranging from $35 - $158, depending on the trip, participants can travel to a Broadway show complete with lunch or dinner, take a tour of Yankee Stadium and eat on Arthur Avenue, or see the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. These are amazing trips and I highly recommend them to everyone! I might have to try some of these myself!
