nicole, when it comes to college admission, should race still be considered? >> race should definitely be considered. when we look at what's happening in the public education system, it's failing a lot of brown and black students. so when we think about providing communities that don't have a chance at college an opportunity or a leg up, i think we should do it. i think it's our role and we can -- you know, we should be doing it. and when i think about this case, i don't think she should be -- we don't know why she was denied. there's a lot of factors here. but, you know, maybe she should be concerned about the other 1,000 white students who got in and not the 10% of black and latino stonts who she thinks might be taking her spot. >> here is interesting, too, when you think about what is happening in the ivies, 6% of the population is african-american, but some of these really big schools, they have twice that representation in these big ivies. and some are saying, my scores are better but we're already overrepresented so they want to keep a balanced mix. >> s

nicole? >> you know, this is a really tricky one.t financial experts will say, yes, stop paying them off right away. the quicker you pay them off, the quicker you can get to other things. but i would say, hold up, wait a minute, especially if you have a sliding scale payment plan because the quicker you pay them off, the higher your payments are going to be and if you can't keep up with those higher payments, that's really going to upset your creditors. so your credit score could suffer there. they are going to say, wait a minute, why don't you keep up with those payments. so i would say, slow and steady when it comes to paying off your student loans, pay off the higher interest rate debt that you have first before moving on to the student debt. >> okay. next viewer question says, in this tight job market, what can i do to make myself stand out? nicole? >> it always helps to stand out, especially right now. so invest in a trade magazine to find new and creative ways to help your company make more money and come up with a new idea for

nicole killian joins us from washington with more. >> good evening. in a race all about the economy, many wonder if the new jobs numbers could be a game changer. as president obama unveiled a new veterans job initiative in virginia, he taught at the latest job report -- talbot the latest job report. >> i want to send a message to congress, did not slow down the recovery. keep it moving in the right direction. >> the unemployment rate in january dropped to 8.3%, the lowest level since the beginning of his presidency. >> if it continues, he will have a lot of wind in his sales in november. >> and there is plenty of reason of caution. >> it is still a bad economy for a lot of people. >> the republicans have staked the economy as their first issue in their bid to defeat the president. am i the president did not cause this downturn, this recession, but he did not make it better, he made it worse. >> it only took four years to overcome. >> though they are not likely to stray from that message, they say the gop should tread carefully. >> i have to be careful

>> well nicole, we measure our intake by our calories. and an active young man eats about 800 calories for lunch, and a young female should eat about 700 calories. >> so, i think you have some examples that bring those numbers toife. >> i do. we have a big mac, a large fry, and this is about 1,340 calories, and we see with the big mac, we have two burgers, three slices of bread, and their special sauce, which is loaded with calories and fat. >> so that's a lot of calories over here. >> it's a whole lot of calories. >> what do we have over here? >> here is a regular hamburger, a small fry, and a small soda. and this is only about 630 calories. so you've been able to cut out half of your calories if you make that choice. >> so, since you're withid your 700, 800 limit, are you able to eat this every day for lunch? >> well, i don't think i'd make that choice. you really are not getting the fruits and vegetables that you need. so there's a lot more nutrition that you should be getting on a daily basis. >> i think my mother would agree with you

and again, try to imagine that, if i gave you -- let's say we gave nicole a loaf of bread. and she has to split it among 35 people. right? how are you going to split it? >> very carefully. >> very carefully indeed. because if you come up short, who doesn't get the ration? you do. so this is kind of the prickly situation here. the person who is responsible for issuing these rations has the most power. and also the ones who stand to suffer the most because if they issue these rations disproportionately, they're the ones that go without rations for that particular day. and incidentally, one of the things they also hated about wurz is that wurz had a series of wagons that would come in every morning and they would pick up the dead. because every day there was about a pile of about a dozen dead men. and they would be taken out and buried outside the prison. well, the same wagon that took out the dead would also carry in their rations for the day. and it was absolutely a disgusting prospect to eat off of this wagon that had once carried your friends out to the dead house. but nev
