I mean she keeps constantly saying help me and support me. Her major keeps changing as her girlfriends change. First dentist, then an archaeologist , then anthropologist, then an interior designer, then an ecologist, now she has finally decided to "seriously" try to be an accountant. How much weight would you put in this person, her decision or her success?

To take a theology course, do you need to know the religion of Christianity etc.

Or are you taught the religion in the course.

It's just so hard to choose.
I am not even a senior but my parents
are making me choose. I know for a fact
my back up job is going to be a U.S. History
teacher. Majoring in pharmacy and optometry
is going to be so hard . . . and I suck at science too
though. I think it's just amazing if I ever succeed in
either one.

What would be a good example of the governments lie radicating mistrust of the citizens of the U.S.

Citizens of the U.S would immediately distrust the U.S. government if, in fact, extraterrestrial information has been covered up. Citizens would be forced to question the decisions and statements the U.S. government would give regarding any subject in controversy. Not to imply that controversial issues today are not question, but the percentage of skeptical citizens would be much higher if such revelation would be reveled. For example,

I moved to the U.S about 3 years ago, I'm in 10th grade right now and my dad wants me to become a doctor.
I am a real history buff and I am well learned in so many different areas of life, HISTORY, politics, military science, technology, facts, religion, etc
Something as big as Medicine sure demands commitment and PASSION and I don't think I have either, especially the latter.

I know a lot of people will tell me to follow my own dreams and do my own thing but with the kind of things I'm interested, It seems it would be hard to build a successful career and make MONEY from them.
I doubt if I will make a good lawyer (arguer) or a good teacher (history).

What is out there for someone like me?

I am looking for the best MBA outside the U.S.A. that is equal (so-to-speak) to a Regionally Accredited MBA in the U.S.A. and that has the following characteristics:

1. Is completely online/distance-learning; that is, can be completed without ever physically going to the institute.

2. Whose total cost (of the program) includes textbooks; and there is no such "cost" for taking exams. In other words, a MBA that doesn't have any other "extra" cost besides the program cost and graduation cost(s).

3. Whose total cost isn't over-priced like the MBAs in the U.S.A. ; that is, whose total cost is affordable to just about anyone.

4. Whose MBA is regarded respectively, in general; that is, like I had said before, a MBA that is as respectable as a U.S.A. Regionally Accredited MBA. Preferably, accredited by AACSB.


Look, I know what I am asking for is either super difficult or impossible to find... But at least, close to the above requirements. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Right now I'm a senior in HS. I'm thinking about whether or not I should go to college. I'm not an exceptionally bad student but I'm not an A-student either. I'll say that I'm about a C student right now. The thing is, I love learning but I have trouble getting the work done. When I'm faced with a big assignment, I get freaked out and leave it to the last minute. I'm often late turning them in. I feel very unmotivated a lot of the time because it seems that everybody around me doesn't care about school. I want to go to college because I feel there's a chance I might blossom there but I'm afraid that my old HS habits will hold me back. Is there hope for a student like me?

There are my 2 options:
1) I can stay at the school I'm at now (prestigious!) and wind up getting my bacehlor's degree in something I'm not too excited about. This is a small liberal arts school, and I'm not excited about any of the degrees they offer.

2) Transfer, and go to nursing school instead...something that I would love to do.

My parents want me to stay here because it's such a great school....but my heart belongs with nursing. I'm just confused as to what I should do.

Im in my 3rd year of 6 at University and have no motivation to study at all ever. I plan to sit and study but when it comes to it i dont. I find the most mundane tasks to do rather than study. I know im half way through but know that unless i pull my finger out theres no point in continuing. I need motivation, but dont know where/how to get it. May be i should quit, but im not usually a quitter. I want some ideas of what other people do in this situation please. Forget about the usual crap. Try for some proper advice, if possible please.

I know that they look at many other things but someone told me that they pay more attention to classes that i took in my junior year more than classes at the beginning of the senior year. I have pretty good grades 4.0 GPA and right now its 4.2 after AP's. I want to take much more challenging classes next year and I was just wondering will it change something ? will it make any difference .???... : -( I feel really bad about it

thank you
