A rapper from West Philadelphia has been operating a daycare for years now — and he hopes to open more in the future. Anthony "Dappa" Samuels co-owns the Young With Options Academic Center, which largely serves low-income families in the West Philadelphia area, according to the daycare’s website. The 30-year-old musician helped start the business in 2017 — the same year he quit his job in accounting, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I love being able to be there and be hands-on,” he told the newspaper. “I take a lot of pride in that, and it actually helps me with music and in life.”
In 2021, nearly 2.5 million Latinos in the United States held advanced degrees such as master’s degrees or doctorates. This represented a huge increase over 2000, when 710,000 Latinos held advanced degrees. The shift reflects Latinos’ broader increase in postsecondary enrollment and rising educational attainment.
