Still in college, or recently graduated and warding off student loans? Believe it or not, it is possible to save a little money and invest for the future. A university professor heard the true story of a janitor who earned about $ 15,000 a year working at a school for underprivileged children. In the 1970s the concierge who never graduated high school, has $ 1 million to the school. Deeply inspired, the professor followed investment example of the concierge and donated $ 8,000,000 at a university ... the salary of a professor.
