According to a Feb. 21 Yahoo! Finance article, there are several ways people's appearance affects their paychecks. So maybe students should pay more attention to their appearance to be the most marketable hire.

TCU special education graduate student Kat Deichler signed a two-year contract last month to teach first grade special needs students at an international school in Qatar.

Combine should give Cowboys good look at potential recruits

The Cowboys have the No. 9 pick in the draft and should theoretically pick one of the top 10 players available. Granted, no TCU players will make a top 10 draft pick, but there are a number of needs that Dallas has that can be solved with a wisely selected top 10 pick.

A very likely pick of the Cowboys will be Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara.
