In The Sphere: Proms, Teens, and Consulting

Posted on May 30th, 2008

Today’s edition of In The Sphere brings together a rather eclectic collection of posts from around the blogosphere. We have a look at everything from nostalgic memories of your high school graduation to funny moments from everyone’s favorite president. Enjoy!

Darren Barefoot brings up an interesting point about high school graduations. Do we have proms in Canada? We hear about senior prom all the time on television and in movies, but it doesn’t seem to be much of a Canadian phenomenon, does it?

Courtney Tuttle follows in this trend of discussing young people by describing some of the best ways for teens to make money. No longer are they restricted to flipping burgers and delivering newspapers. Court knows at least one kid that turned $10 into $10,000 over the course of a summer.

Problogger Darren Rowse is well established authority on just about everything to do with making money through blogging. While many blogs focus on monetization through advertising, you can also promote your consulting services on a blog. Darren’s got tips to help you do that too.

Laura Spencer address the age old question of nature versus nurture, but she does it under the context of whether someone is born to be a freelancer. Is it because of what flows through our veins that we choose to embark on a freelance career or does it have more to do with our upbringing and experience?

Last but not least, Extra Funny Videos entertains us with a collection of the top ten George W. Bush moments. It must have been hard for Letterman to narrow it down to just ten moments. There are so many to choose from!
