Chelsea Handler announces Netflix talk show premiere date in a letter to herself Posted: 16 Mar 2016 02:26 PM PDT Many a show's premiere date has been announced on social media, but naturally, Chelsea Handler had her own unique spin. While she did use the tried-and-true reveal Wednesday for her upcoming Netflix talk show, she broke the news of its May 11 debut in a funny letter to herself, highlighting important details. Still untitled, Handler's talk show will be on Netflix every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday — a good reminder not to have a baby, according to her letter. Episodes will be 30 minutes long, and viewers won't have to worry about any commercials. They will, however, get to watch her "traveling around the world and learning new things," basically getting "the college education [she] forgot to get."

The top three (in order) are: Arnold Schwarzenegger's maid, the Pope, and Michelle Obama. No confirmed guests were named, but she did drop a tidbit about it being an election year, so perhaps we'll see some political figures. When interviewing respected heavyweights, she says she'll ask herself "what would [comedian] Byron Allen do?" and make sure to "do the opposite." (We'll see.)

In the meantime, she has been calling for title suggestions on the social media site, with the clever  Chelsea & Chill apparently being the most popular, according to a recent tweet. The talk show comes not long after the comedian's four-part Netflix docuseries Chelsea Does , which premiered in January and explored marriage, drugs, racism, and more. Handler's deal with the streamer includes a stand-up special as well. The untitled show premieres on Netflix on May 11.

How to Pay for Private College Without Destroying Your Investment Portfolio Posted: 16 Mar 2016 06:35 AM PDT Despite little inflation in the rest of the economy, college tuition rates continue to rise, including those at private colleges, where 1 in 5 students study. According to the College Board, the average cost to attend a private university was 26 percent higher in the 2015-16 school year compared to a decade ago. One option for parents considering a private college or university is prepaid tuition plans, also known as Private College 529 Plans.

The ROI of Graduate School Posted: 16 Mar 2016 05:30 AM PDT Since Kristofferson Culmer had no plans to teach, he hadn't considered pursuing a Ph.D. in computer science. "It opens doors that wouldn't be there with just a master's degree," says Culmer, who intends to work in industry. The tech business pays a premium for people in computer science, with median salaries of about $108,000 in a field projected to grow by 11 percent in the decade ending in 2024.
