Careers & Employment - November 2006

I am having a difficult time deciding on a major in school. I have an AS in Graphic Design. I enjoyed the courses, but I never did anything with the degree. I decided to go back to school to get my BS in Business, because that seemed like a practical choice. I am just not sure if business is the right degree for me, but I don't know how I really feel about the alternatives. My school offers a Certificate in Gerontology (study of aging) which you can get with any major, but they also offer a BS in Urban Studies with a concentration in Gerontology and a BS in Psychology with a concentration in Gerontology.

Which of these options do you think is better? Should I stick with Business and get the certificate in Gerontology, or switch to either Urban Studies or Psych and do a concentration? I think I would like to work in either a retirement community or nursing home as an Activities/Events Director/Planner. Thanks for your help!!

Can anyone help me with a State agency that might be able to help him pay his bills? He cannot collect TDI because he works for himself and did not make much money last year. He has no idea what he's going to do if he can't pay his bills due to his injury. Please help with any suggestions if you can. Thanks!

Me and my husband both are doctors! He's in a field in which the working hrs are very long say 10-12 hrs a day! & its going to stay like that for next 10 yrs. I'm on a platform where I have to make a choice between a very hectic field or a less hectic 9-5 kind of job with no emergency calls! I need advice from married people, that does it cause any problem if both the partners are doing very busy jobs? My husband is very nice n caring he says he'll never ever stand in between me and my career, but I don't want my kids to suffer later due to lack of attention from both the parents. Shall I take the less hectic field, it pays less but I like it ...or shall I worry about earning a lot? My husband does that job nicely!
