Broken Yolk to change, reopen Other Broken Yolk on Wells St. expected to stay open later in fall By McKenna Oxenden

The Marq’s Broken Yolk location shut down last week but will reopen under a potential new partnership as a new food service venue. Students don’t need to distress, though, because the second Broken Yolk, located in the 1600 block of Wells St., is expected to stay open until about 8 p.m. on weekdays and even later on the weekends next fall. The location in the 2000 block of W. Wisconsin Avenue, which operated since 2008, closed due to economic reasons last week. In 2012, owners Jim and Caroline Gatto added a second location in the 1600 block of Wells St. The Gattos are trying to sublease the space to another food service or reopen with a different food service themselves. Ideally, they said they would See Bro-Yo, Page 6

friends I met at Marquette.” She was announced as a finalist for the Colorado position in January. At the time, Bergen said she was “a long way from leaving Marquette.” However, her mind changed throughout the next months. “In January, it was the very early stage of the search process,” Bergen said in an email. “As the process unfolded, I met with the chancellor, provost and faculty and was increasingly impressed by them. Over the course of the discussions, it became clear to me that this was an opportunity where my skills, passion and experience aligned perfectly with their goals, aspiration and vision.” Bergen beat out four other
After spending four or more years working toward that bachelor’s degree, it’s normal for seniors approaching graduation to try to translate their work into tangible benefits – namely a high starting salary. Peers who skipped the four-year route and went for a two-year technical degree often seem like they are making the same – or even more – money, without adding the hefty debt from university tuition. Some outlets have reported cases of two-year students out-earning their bachelor counterparts, even if they end up in the same career. So why waste time and money on a four-year degree when you can get the same job for a fraction of the price with an associate degree? Most cases showing two-year degree holder earning more do not represent the more general reality. Although it’s true that many of the highest paying starting salaries come with jobs that only require an associate degree – such as air-traffic controllers at $108,000 a year, registered nurses at $64,000 a year and radiation therapists at $75,000 a year – there is no indication that bachelor’s degree-holders cannot command the same salary. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median income of men aged 25 and older was almost $16,000 more a year with a bachelor’s degree than with an associate degree. Women made about $12,000 more. The real difference is the cost of the education. Milwaukee Area Technical College, for instance, costs roughly $2,100 a year for a student taking 15 credits per semester. Compare that to Marquette’s $36,720 – and that doesn’t include room and board. It becomes clear that getting a technology, engineering or math degree – often resulting in the highest-paying jobs – at a community college sets up new graduates with a better financial situation
