Donald Trump

If your tot's lemonade stand is raking in the dough this Summer and turning into more of a business venture than an afternoon activity, you might want to book a trip to NYC's Trump SoHo Hotel. In true Trump fashion, the hotel just launched the Trump Kids Young Entrepreneurs SoHo program, where kids 3 to 17 can live like minimoguls in the hotel. Kids receive personalized business cards, invitations to exclusive events like film screenings at the Children’s Museum of the Arts, and cooking and etiquette classes. They can even enjoy beauty days at the hotel's spa, and receive a soon-to-be-launched shopping card that grants them discounts at local clothing boutiques and toy stores. During their first stay, the tots also receive a monogrammed child-size robe, while subsequent visits will bring them surprises like bedtime milk and cookies or a candy buffet. And while the focus of the program is on the kids, Trump doesn't leave the parents out — they receive waived fees on rollaway and sofa beds and dining incentives throughout their stay.

We've seen hotel rooms designed for almost every type of tot, but for budding tycoons, it doesn't get much closer to living the high life than this. We're just wondering if the hotel staff gives tips for achieving the Donald hairstyle as part of the program.

Would You Let Your Child Join the Trump Kids Young Entrepreneurs SoHo Program?

Yes — For kids who would already be staying there, it sounds like a blast!

No — That's so Trump! Little kids don't need to be thinking about business and money yet!

Should one judge a person's job performance on how well he did in college? And would grades matter even more if the job was to manage a country? Now that Barack Obama's proof of birthplace has been put to rest, Donald Trump is calling out for copies of the president's college transcripts to be released, because he "heard [Obama] was a terrible student."

Trump has begun questioning the president's academic abilities because he says Obama's college grades were not up to par. The Apprentice host tells the Associated Press, "How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records."

This brings up the interesting correlation between grades and how well they predict success. A lot of employers ask for transcripts and factor in a candidate's GPA because it makes the job selection process easier. One example of a company that does this is Google, which requires a 3.0 GPA minimum for job applicants. However, these companies might be missing out on talented individuals who slip through the GPA crack. After all, as Huffington Post writer Bernard Starr points out, history has plenty of notable exceptions to the grades and success correlation rule, such as Albert Einstein, whose abysmal grade school performance led one of his teachers to assume that Einstein was "mentally retarded."

What do you think — should companies judge job applicants by their GPA?

Should Job Applicants Be Judged on Their GPA?

No — College grades don't matter. It's past experience that counts.

Yes — They reflect a lot about someone's ability to perform on the job.

It depends — I'll tell you more about it below.

The theme of the latest season of The Apprentice, which kicks off tonight, is all about second chances. The apprentice wannabes in this show have really felt the bite of the economy, and "You're fired!" is a line that they are all too familiar with.

It'll be exciting to see what type of recessionary advice Trump will give, and perhaps the competition will be fiercer this time around, because as one contestant puts it, there really is no "Plan B" for many of them. What do you get when you put a team of 16 people together with nothing to lose? I'll guess we'll find out soon.

Will you be watching tonight?
