Higher Education (University +) - December 2006

SCIENCE!! BUSINESS!! LAW!! MEDICINE!!! ENGINEERING!!

--and All those other lovely fields everyone enjoys the priviledge of using in their dinner conversations.

But then there's..... Music

Here's an example of my typical conversations with people (older adults and peers alike) concerning my major.
______________________________________________

Asker: "Hey what are you majoring in?"

Me: "Oh,--music""

Asker: "Oh--hmmm....Oh.....
.....soo what do you plan on doing with that"

Me: Well maybe I'll teach in addition to occasional performances"

Asker: "...hmmmm...[insert awkward silence]..
....well Good Luck with that.
____________________________________________

Now, do you see my picture? If I were to say something like Biology, Chemistry, or even History/Economics, etc. --- then I would get a more "excited" response like "Oh wow!!...that's great..there are soo many opportunities in the field of science, etc....Are you doing research?...etc.

After having years and years of bad teeth, having to visit a dentist for major repairs each year, and being with an orthodontist for six years.. I recently (about two years) developed a passion for a career as a dentist. I'm 19, junior in college, and....really... not the person in the world. I'm aware that the DAT is extremely difficult. I'm not the type of person who can read something and memorize it right at that moment. I use to get Ds and Fs till middle school and high school really brought me to reality. I hit my first all As and graduated with a 3.8 GPA. Now.. I'm struggling again in college with about a 3.4 GPA. I want to be a dentist..My uncle told me that he was a realistic person and that I could never be a dentist. Do you think so....?

I am doing a research paper on the brain for English 11 (College Composition). The thesis statement has to be argumental. I'm for the brain, I guess you could say. I think it is so complex and amazing. I don't doubt or think it has any limits.

Well the schools she has been applying to are asking why she has chosen PA over Nursing, or even medical school, or other allied health fields. I've given her advice and she's stated her reasons for choosing that path. But could someone please help and provide us with some insight about PA and some reasons for choosing this path rather than another health field? Thanks for the help.

Hi I've been trying to research George Washington University and their site doesn't much information so for those who have attended or are applying also, can you please tell me more about GW and why I would want to go there?

It would be very helpful to show links to sites with information on GW. I even tried to wikipedia it but it wasn't much help.
