Personal finance from around the Web:

-   Unemployed? [Consider working for Uncle Sam](http://www.wisebread.com/the-government-is-hiring-here-is-who-and-where). The federal government will add more than 190,000 jobs to its payroll over the next few years. \[Wise Bread\]

-   Health insurers and policymakers are watching a [Maine court case revolving over insurers' ability to increase premiums](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704059004575127533188447508.html?mod=WSJ_newsreel_business). Should the state insurance commissioner be permitted to dictate prices that translate into a loss for an insurance company? \[The Wall Street Journal\]

-   [High-achieving high school students should consider tuition last](http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/student-loans-financial-aid-save-money/) when deciding to which college they should apply. If they're qualified enough to get in to school, the school will take care of them financially. \[I Will Teach You to Be Rich\]

-   A trip to the slums of India taught a rich, privileged New York teen how to change her spoiled ways. Read [her account](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/mumbai_slums_cured_my_prep_girl_Yedo00IUvITRJDsvGI2deO) of the trip as well as her [mother's version](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/mom_how_my_spoiled_monster_of_Ai0qjHucMLxb9bsmkBk9iL). \[New York Post\]

-   Adults need playtime, too. A nonprofit CEO claims that companies would be more productive if they provided a ["recess" for employees](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/darell-hammond/how-to-boost-creativity-p_b_523069.html). \[The Huffington Post\]
