If you've managed to get your bachelor's degree, congratulations! And if you're thinking about grad school, get your piggy bank out and start saving. According to Business Insider, getting a master's degree or Ph.D. in your chosen field can be a smart career move, but it can also be a financial time bomb. If you want to go to grad school five years from now, start saving. First, research schools, tuition, and determine your monthly and annual living expenses. Research any benefits your company may offer for free or subsidized tuition, and look into state programs and scholarships. Still paying on student loans from your undergrad degree? Refinance them now, when rates are low. Finally, if you have five years to save, consider using a 529 plan. If you want to start sooner, a high-yield savings account may be better.
The NBA's Miami Heat is a top performer, and according to Business Insider, much of its success comes down to stellar management practices. Coach Eric Spoelstra focuses on tactics, not rigidity. He adjusts players' rotation and defensive formats depending on the opposition and game situation. The lesson for managers? Don't stick to principles; commit to winning. Adjust along the way. From sharpshooter Duncan Robinson to rookie Tyler Herro, Spoelstra has a keen eye for raw, hungry, diamond-in-the-rough talent, and takes a chance on them. Recruiters in business should do the same: spot the talent in your organization and in the stack of resumes, and act on it. Finally, Spoelstra is ruthless about performance, but kind to players. The lesson? Show no mercy towards 'less-than' efforts, show no malice towards workers.
