Higher Education (University +) - April 2007

Ok so I just finished my freshman year in college and I did WAY worse than I could have ever expected. I always got top grades in high school and all my classes were either honors or AP and I got mostly 4s in all my AP tests, etc. Now that I'm in college (University of Florida) I haven't been able to get a single A. Well I did get three As but they were stupid classes. The rest have been Bs and Cs and this semester I had to drop a class because I didn't want to get a C again.

I'm pretty sure my GPA will end up being very close to 3.0 perhaps even below 3.0 like 2.96 I'm incredibly dissapointed about this semester in particular because fall semester I could blame it on my roommate who never let me study or do anything, but this semester I have no excuse and I thought I was going to pull up my GPA to at least 3.25

The worst thing is that I've perfectly understood all the material and everything. I just don't understand what's wrong with me, and why I can't make the grades. Help!

I am a high school senior who recently got into a combined 5 year degree for Bachleor of Science/Bachleor of Education at the University of Calgary. My initial career goal is to become secondary math teacher, howevery after hearing the horror stories about teaching at Y! Answers, I don't want teaching as my only option post graduation.

With that being said, my actual question is:

Will the Bachleor of Science degree open other doors for me?

The degree is called:

Bachleor of Education (Master of Teaching Program)
&
Bachleor of Science in General Mathematics in Education

Will the fact that the BSc has educational context in its matter if I was to pursue a proffestional career in buisness/finances.?

Do employers care what your Bachleor's Degree is actually in, or is it just seen as a level of education you aceived?

I'm not totally turned off by teaching, and still see that as a noble career.....for now.

Thanks for any help in advance

How many hours does a CPA work per week? What about a Financial Analyst? Which one of these majors with a Bachelor degree open more doors for real life?

There is the deal: I would like to be a Business Lawyer or an Investment Banker, but I don't know which undergraduate major that I should take. Also, I would like to have 2-3 years in the area before going to graduate school, so what will be the best combo: Accounting (or Finance)+ MBA finance or Accounting(or Finance)+ JD. I feel that Accounting can serve me to go entry-level finance positions(Financial analyst) while finance major can't. Finally, which one is better for Graduate school?

You don't necessarily have to be in either field to give advice. I'm more interested in the career aspect of it. I love higher education, am on my second degree and quite frankly don't want to leave.
Would help if you could indicate which country you're in and what your field is. I'm presently in Australia.

Our professor informed us that if we complete our third exam with a B average, we are excused from the Final. I finished with a B average, but he has informed that I have to take the Final anyway because of too many absences. Firstly, I had several absences due to medical procedures, which I gave him proof of and which he made photocopies of for his records. With those squared away as excused absences, I would not be exceeding absences. Secondly, he has made out as if he is only adhering to the department's policy, but nowhere in the department's policy does it say anything that would lead him to have to force me to take the Final. Third, he tells me that the policy doesn't distinguish between excused and unexcused absences... so why did he insist on proof of my medical procedures so that they would be excused if they really aren't? I don't get it and I worked very hard to maintain a B average in this class. I feel that I'm being dealt with unfairly. Am I right or wrong?

Hello,I am currently twenty four years of age. I've been out of highschool of course for awhile now. In my early twenties I joined up with the United States Military. I've been working within the field of Dentistry with the Military as my primary responsibility. And I am currently Reserve service obligation within the Dental field to this day. I will soon be starting Community College in order to get into the mix of educational study once more since I have been out of school for a few years. And plan to transfer over to a four year university. While doing Dental within the military I have found that it's actually an enjoyable job. It is truly something I appreciate and enjoy doing. Some of the Doctors of Dental Surgery within my Unit have told me to progress toward Medical School. But others have told me that I am starting off late. Even an Advisor at the college I plan to transfer to have made a remark that I am starting too late. I really want this. Is this really a proper choice?

I'm going to be a senior and I have 2 open classes left but I'm not sure which courses to take. I've narrowed it down to
Bio AP-more related to what i want to do
Chem AP- probably less related
Anatomy and Physiology (not available as an AP Course just as Honors)
Physics AP
or World Area Studies- to boost my GPA?

which one would be most helpful in my career pursuit?

do you find yourself worrying over keeping up with all the readings, assignments and tests RATHER than actually learning anything. i would rather be learning things that interest me but instead this is the way i've been feeling in college. is it me or does anyone else feel the same. ?
