My husband is in the military and I was wondering, due to the fact that we are going to be moving around a lot, would it be smarter to go to an online college or a community college to get my associates degree in arts and sciences? We have a baby on the way and I have to work. The extra money is nice and I become moody and depressed if I don't work. I've heard that the University of Phoenix is over priced and that a lot of companies do not accept it as a legitimate degree. However, if I do go the community college I'd have to take night classes. Plus there is always a chance that we could get stationed somewhere else...if that happens will my student loan be transfered over to my new school? And will I still only have to start paying once I graduate? Any answers will be appreciated. Thank you!

Although I filled out the FASFA in Februrary, I checked the status of it in April and it said "parent's signature missing," and so I tried to provide a signature with my mother's PIN since my mother is not here and I have no way to communicate with her. When I tried to use my mother's PIN I got a message that said her PIN had been deactivated and so I had to create a new one for her. So I created a new one for her and when I tried to enter the information to retrieve the new one I got a message that said the information I had entered did not match what they had on file for her. Afther May 25th I no longer had regular access to a computer since I had to leave college for the summer and stay with my grandma who has no computer. Yesterday was the first chance I got to come to the public library and look at my FASFA, and it still says "parent's signature missing," and my financial aid has not gone through, and so my college is saying I owe $7,000 even though my classes start August 27!!!

I’m thinking about enrolling online for classes, it’s a whole program that I will have to take, and I can transfer the credits to a University.

It’s very expensive, but since I am a single mother who works full time Monday-Friday 7:30-5:30. I won’t be able to afford a sitter at nights to take regular classes. So it would be a lot easier for me to do it in the comfort of my home, while the kids are sleep.

Has any one ever taken online classes, if so could you please tell me the experience you went through, and it its worth it.

Thank you

At my school , in order to enroll in AP course or/and accelerated classes but no offical Honors courses exist, you have to take a test. During my freshmen and sophmore year, i consecutively made it into English accelerated and during sophmore year i additionally made it into World History and Geography. my GPA at this point=3.6

My junior year won't be a challenging year for me since i didn't make it to any AP classes i took the test for.
Since it won't be a challenging year , i was planning to enroll in East Los Angeles Community College , taking Psycology on Saturdays. Should i pick another course instead?

I recently joined a youth council that is out of school and i discovered this club when i was doing community service at the office that sponsors it. I have been in CSF since freshmen year , a social/community service all girls club (off campus) since sophmore year and that's about it. I had my own newsletter in my community,but the director never had time to run it through

My son has been homeschooled in the past, and wishes to go back to homeschooling, he is very mature for his age, and has wanted a job for the past couple of years, but with the child labor laws there doesnt seem to be much out there except maybe a paper route, which I dont find very safe anymore.

Does anyone know of any jobs for a boy this age? He wanted to volunteer at the local hosipital but you must be 14.

Please no advice on how he should be in school, we already know the reality of that place. And yes hes overly socialized, socializes better than his peers with all ages. And no he doesnt need to be bullied at school to know what the real world is like, do you let people bully you at work, I dont think so.

Since that is out of the way, just looking for some ideas for a boy who is ambitious and wants a job. He has worked with his uncle for a few years now in his HVAC business the old people just love it when my brother brings my son along. But thats only a few times a month

38) In the real world demand is not likely to be perfectly inelastic at every price because
1) no substitutes exist for some goods
2) some consumers will be unable to afford very high prices with given incomes
3) at low prices, consumers always want a lot
4) consumers are willing to pay any price for certain goods
5) the prcies of certain goods do not change
Question 39- the more broadly a good is defined,
1) the more subs/ is has so the more elastic is its demand
2) the fewer subs. it has so the more elastic is its demand
3) the more subs it has so the less elastic is its demand
4) the fewer substitutes it has so the less elastic is its demand
5) the more complements it has so the more elastic its demand

40) a firm believes it can increase its profits if it increases it revenue. if the price elasticity of demanv is 1.88 the firm should
1) increase its price
2_decrease price
3)change price by 88 percent
d) leave price unchanged

I'm seeking a ranch or some sort of live in program for a home schooled 24 yr. old man. He has had very little social inter reaction and has poor hygiene, no routine, no manual dexterity. He needs to be trained and programmed in how to get up everyday, clean himself and go do some sort of work. He is not motivated unless it is his stomach growling or a video game he wants to buy. He also needs to take spelling, English and writing classes.Does anyone know where I can find a place that will take him and teach him something and turn him into a productive young man. He isn't crazy , just un trained.
