Hey high school seniors, are you looking for a rewarding career? The new gold rush is on! From AFP:

Human feces contains gold and other precious metals that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, experts say.

Now the trick is how to retrieve them -- a potential windfall that could also help save the planet...

...A recent study by another group of experts in the field found that waste from one million Americans could contain as much as $13 million worth of metals.

I knew all that time on the toilet after the Chinese food buffet wasn't wasted.  Maybe Chris Christie can save our economy and maybe Ron Paul was right about reverting back to the gold standard.  I must reevaluate everything.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go do some prospecting...
