Conversely, the respondentsrated study abroad experiences highly (3.5 to 4.5) even if they did not have one, and most didnot.

The vegetated layer not only protects the roof from wind, frost, andmechanical damage (almost doubling the expected roof life), but it also acts as an excellentinsulation layer. Green roofs keep houses cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Salaries tend to increase with increasing years of experience and “fan out” as foundby Mincer [9] who suggests that the widening of the salary distribution is related to self-investment in one’s human capital. Analysis of many salary profiles supports this premise
