I just finished my BS after 6 years (worked full-time also) and I'd love to go back and take courses "for fun". However, that's a lot of money that I could save or put into retirement. A LOT.

What are alternatives? I read a lot on my own, so if I could get my hands on some college syllabi for courses I like, I could read the required books. That would be a lot cheaper.

Any other ideas for "adult school" that wouldn't cost a fortune? I could do comm. college classes, but I went to the CC here and the courses are not challenging at all. I need a challenge to keep up interest.

I randomly decided to pursue a Masters in accounting and started in the fall. I barely passed and I don't like it nor do I see myself becoming an accountant. I don't, however, know what I want to do. I plan on starting a family very soon and part of me wants to just finish this degree so that I don't have to worry about school after I have children. However, I hate it and kind of just want to be a SAHM until I figure out what I want to do although I'll feel like a failure...again. My hubby insists that it will be good for me to have a masters no matter what it is in and I don't have to become an accountant; the degree will help me with whatever I decide to do. Where I live most people have a masters degree. (btw, I'm almost 30!) I don't know what to do!!

I am in highschool, and I am being offered to go to europe for my junoir year (next). I am looking to go to Switzerland , for its skiing among other things. i'd go to a french speaking area. Is that smart though? I only spent 3 years studying french so I am not fluent. i think that is equivalent to french A in college. i'll prob load up on summer courses too though. or should i go to england? I am afraid that i'd start out failing classes because i dont understand the language. Have you ever done it? what do you think? Any useful things i should know?

Also I have the interveiw next weekend, what should I say??

In the beginning of the year, my teacher was.... well, basically fired. So we were teacherless for about 1 month and then the school found another one. She started October 31. She's really young, 24. But the thing is... she has a Myspace. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal for some people - but it kinda is. At my school, it's pretty much forbidden (even though it still happens) and it's being hypocritical if my teacher has one but a student can't have one. She has inappropriate pictures of her all over the internet... But when my principal found out, she defended my teacher instead of us. She told us to stay out of her business and all that stupid crap. But it wouldn't be so hard for us to do that if all these things weren't practically plastered all over and in our faces. So... I'm wondering.... what should I do? Oh, and I forgot to mention that she looks hung over all the time. She's not a competent teacher and I don't think that she is enthusiastic about anything.

im on my genrals right now, still thinking of what to major. I pretty much have my mind set, though im still thinking and whenever I share my thoughts and plans with someone, speically with family, I get bad feedback. Like today my brother kinda put me down about my first choice because he says I wont be making so much money in that field, and thats kinda of a lost case and hard to get anywhere with it.
and yesterday my dad's friend said I need to pick something that will have me making alot of money..so I go, but I wish to do something that I enjoy, and maybe make a little less but still love to wake up and go to work, rather than hate it and have it as a daily struggle. what should I do??

So I thought I'd go with a major in what I want (towards nutrition field) and then minor in say..Bussiness, cause that should be good money I guess...would I have to work on both at the same time? does the minor include same stuides as for a person that is majoring in that?

thanks

Hello,

This is (name not used) from your Integrative Seminar Class last semester. The class took place on Monday and Wednesday from 8:00 - 10:00 am.
I have noticed that my mark stands at "Temporarily Incomplete" and I do not understand why. The semester has been over now for weeks and all my grades have been submitted by other teachers.I believe strongly that my final assignment was handed in as well as makeup work that was not completed properly at the beginning of the semester, we had discussed this earlier. Having said that, this was to be my final semester at Dawson College and I had been given a conditional acceptance to my next step of education. Unfortunately, the acceptance has been put on hold due to the fact that my Integrative Seminar Course remains at a below passing mark. The mark stands at Temporarily Incomplete and I thank you for giving me the time to continue to hand in assignments after the semester had ended rather than just giving me a failing mark, for that I t

No, this is not for help with homework. I'm just composing a letter and I can decide which is better.

What do A and B have in common?

or

What does A and B have in common?

I'm inclined to think do is better in this question and with 'does' it would be rephrased "What does A have in common with B".

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello:
I will be graduating with approx. a 3.28 GPA and will be planning to sit for the CPA exam after meeting the 150 hour requirements. I will like to take the CPA requirements at my college (full -time) to raise my gpa to about a 3.3X or at a community college (part-time) just to get the credits. I also plan on going to b-school in about 2 - 3 years - Does the GPA really matter in MBA applications? I plan to apply to the likes of harvard and good public schools like texas(mccomb) and maryland (smith).

Please your suggestions will be appreciated.

I've known my friend since I was 9 years old. He moved away from NYC to Las Vegas at 13. He's always been a rowdy kid messing up school and never taking anything seriously. For the past 6 years hes been doing drugs getting arrested and ignoring his future. He has recently been released from being locked up for 1 year and 3 months. In that short amount of time he realized he messed up his life. He's scrounging for jobs and trying to get any money he can now. He didn't finish high school, and has trouble finding a job. I have not talked to him in 3 years but have just gotten into contact with him again and he's informed me of his position. What can my friend do right now, what are his best options? He said he applied to get his GED which will take 2 months, but I'm wondering if theres anything he can do now to move it along. Are there any vocational schools in vegas that he can attend now that have little or no cost? I'm trying to save a brother here, any useful advice is appreciated.
