I've grown quite interested in politics, world issues, conflict resolution Etc. In a few years i would like to work with something along these lines. I wanna be part of an organization that solves issues like if there is a civil war, how do we stop it? what do we do with the refugees, the homeless, the poor, the dying Etc.? Like the current event in Sudan and all the people that are forced to flee into the neighboring country, Chad. I wanna know how to stabilize a nation, get people back on their feet, establish the right government. Etc. (I know that was very vague, but you get the idea right?)

Problem is, i don't know where to begin. I'm about to start university, which courses should i take that would enable me to do this in a couple of years?

What does illicit mean? I read an article recently that was talking about somebody doing something that was perfectly legal, so rather than calling it illegal, they called it illicit. What does that mean? If something is legal, what makes it illicit?

I am a full time student (14 units) studying electrical engineering. This is my third year in school and so far the hardest semester. I work at Costco Wholesale and they schedule me 35 hours a week (5 days a week). I have time for hw but I have no life anymore and I am always busy and stressing out. When it comes to for midterms I dont really have enough time to study. The pay there is great. Should I quit my job? I am gonna be poor if I do.

Does it help you learn the material better? Or do people focus better in class when they don't record anything and have more pressure to learn the material now rather than later? Some of them are 3 hours long- I don't have the time to attend class and then go back and review it again for a total of 6 hrs. for one class. But then it's nice to be able to go back to missed points.

I have never recorded lectures but I'm thinking of starting. What are some good recorders? Have you tried using a cell phone?
