A Cautionary Tale For College Applicants

YouTube is showing a CBS news clip about the demise of an employee who took some time off and was seen in a Facebook photo at a Halloween Party while playing hooky.

This is a warning for all users of MySpace and Facebook. As is discussed on the video clip, adults know how to use the internet, which means employers, high school teachers and administrators, and—YES–college admission professionals are checking you out on the net. CollegeBasics strongly advices college applicants and their parents to make sure there is no detracting publication on these very public sites. In fact, it may be best to not publish yourself at all.
