College Students Want Kudos Links

A recent study shows that the majority of  college students would prefer kudos over sex or money. One of the researchers went on to say that, “it is somewhat surprising how this desire to feel worthy and valuable trumps almost any other pleasant activity you can imagine.” These results really surprised me and it’s a piece worth checking out. I never imagined that college students thought about anything more than sex or money. I guess you learn something new every day.
