Education & Reference - 9 May 2007

I've noticed some troubling red flags displayed by my toddler son and fear he may have autism. I'm not jumping to conclusions yet and I made an appointment to see a pediatric psychologist to see if that's true. The waiting now is killing me. I'm wondering how I can deal with all of my emotions about this. I'm terrified of the diagnosis of autism. However, I know that if he does have autism, an early intervention and treatment is critical. When I first saw a list of autism symptoms, I nearly threw up because so many of them described my son. How does a parent cope with this?

I am planning on attending garduate school to get my Masters degree in social work (I have a bachelors degree in psychology). I live in Michigan and the main schools that I am looking at are Wayne State University and the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor. U of M has been ranked as the #1 school of social work in the country for 10 years straight.

Why is the U of M ranked so highly? Would I be better off spending more money going to the U of M or spending less and going to Wayne State? Would I have a better chance at getting a job with the U of M degree or will they both be equal?

Thanks.

U of M pros: Higher ranked, more prestigious.
Wayne State pros: Closer to where I live, costs less.

Which is a better option?

I have to add a resume to my grad school application, but I'm having trouble writing it.
It must include not only my education but also my professional information.
Can anyone direct me to a site or a few sites that have templates or samples. Or even a bit of advice would be great.

I already know about Monster, it's not a great site for this type of resume, but thanks.

Thank you!

Why does it seem like many college professors are more interested in proving they more about the subject then the students do? Also, why do many feel that they need to make a class as hard as possible instead of actually teaching? Such as making tests that are "almost impossible to do well on". <-----I've been told this by professors before. Are they bitter or just bored?
