Education & Reference - 1 January 2007

I'm currently a high school sophmore and I've started looking at colleges. I want to eventually become a guidance counselor. I live in NJ and don't want to go too far from home. Colleges I'm looking at are Loyola College in Maryland, Millersville University, Shippensburg University, The College of New Jersey, Villanova University, Canisius University, and University of Hartford. How difficult is it to get into these colleges and how are their education and psychology programs?

I tried going to a university, and just couldnt handle it. I am enrolled in a two year college but as I looked through the classes I couldnt really find anything I am interested in. I thought about cosmotology school, but I'm not sure if thats the right choice. I dont know what I want to do. I have no job anymore and no talents. What should I do?

Writer to ‘Dear Abby’ Faces Child-Porn Counts

MILWAUKEE — A man who wrote to “Dear Abby” for advice on how to handle his fantasies about having sex with young girls was charged Wednesday with possessing child pornography after the columnist turned him in, authorities say. Paul Weiser, 28, was charged with three counts of possession of child pornography. He was ordered released on $10,000 bail on condition he avoid computers and contact with anyone under 18. Police said 40 pornographic photographs of children were found in his computer after his arrest Monday. “He acknowledges he needs help and denies ever acting upon any desires,” said prosecutor Paul Tiffin. “Dear Abby” columnist Jeanne Phillips, daughter of column founder Pauline Phillips, called police after receiving the letter. Jeanne Phillips, who shares her mother’s pen name, Abigail Van Buren, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel she agonized over whether to report Weiser, since the column’s credibility is based on anonymity given those seeking advice. “I lost sleep. Didn’t sleep for days, because I really believe this man wrote to me genuinely seeking help,” she said. “I was torn, because my readers do turn to me for help, yet there was the priority of the safety of those young girls.” She was said to be traveling on Wednesday and did not return a call seeking comment. Weiser could get up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count, if convicted. He did not speak during Wednesday’s court hearing except to answer “yes” when asked if he understood the proceedings. A preliminary hearing was set for March 25.

Problem: Six oranges weigh as much as 4 apples. Five bananas weigh the same as 3 pears. Ten bananas weigh the same as 8 oranges. How many pears and apples would you need to have their weights balanced?

I'm looking for a good school for film and animation. I want to go to a school with emphasis on the writing, storyboards and the other early stages of animation but either way is fine. I'm already considering Pratt, NYU, RIT, RISD and CalArts. What other colleges would you recommend I look into? or even which of these colleges above would be the best suited for me?

I was wondering whether or not I should take the LSAT prep classes or if a couple days of diligent studying will accomplish the same thing. I have been told that the professors teach straight from the book so there is no need to spend $1000 on the classses. I dont want to spend all that money of it isnt going to help me.
