You see, my counselor enrolled me in a regular U.S history class because AP history wouldn't fit into my schedule. He said that if I really wanted to, I could take it on my county's online high school during 7th period (when I'm supposed to be taking regular U.S History). I was wondering if any/all of the aforementioned schools would look down upon me taking a core AP subject over virtual high school (it is pretty much distance education over the internet). Please tell me what you think; I love all of these schools and would like to go to one!

Hello friends,

I was wondering if you had any advice or knowledge on what degree or major I might want to look into if I want to come out of school (2-year or 4-year institution) and get a career making a decent amount of money, in my opinion $25k-30k is decent.

Not calculating taxes or any of that, I figured that if I had a minimum-wage job, let's just say on average about $6/hour, I could work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks in a year, so it comes out to around $12k a year. That's barely enough to support yourself, let alone start a family.

I'll go talk to a college career counselor soon, but in the meantime I was wondering if you knew of any jobs or occupations that you could get with a specific college degree that made a decent amount of money, where you could support yourself and start a family, maybe like $25k-30k a year. I also put non-competitive in there because reasonably I know it's hard to get a lucrative career like becoming a doctor.

Thank you for your time and help.

Could going to get a masters recieving a good GPA make me better qualified to get in law or medical school. Plus the fact that I am female and minority work in my favor? I plan after the masters then trying to apply. Aboutmy undergrad, I transferred in a decieded after my junior year sociology wasn't what I thought it was going to be and I am not doing so well. I also have the same professors over and over for differnet classes, the college is small, and not very diverse so you are well known by the professors.

How do you find the domain and range of a function using a graph?
The graph is not a hyperbola nor is it a straight line, it's more of a combination of straight lines(if that even matter haha) After I find the domain and range it asks 'then enter the corresponding function value in each answer space below:
h(-2)
h(-1)
etc...

My question is, do the sides all have to be equal and how could they be if 8 does not go into 30 equally?
