Higher Education (University +) - October 2007

My son has just started an apprenticeship and earns £100 pounds a week for doing 35+ (he is 16 years old and just left school) I feel it unfair that at 16 he has to pay for his own prescriptions, his own trainting costs ( He is with a training agency called Smart ) I also take money from him for his keep (just £20 a week) as we have lost his Family allowance and if he stayed on at school or college he would have got EMA! A lot of his friends are better of than him who are still at school as they have Family allowance and some get EMA and have part time jobs, is it me or is this just unfair I know it was his choice to do the apprenticeship but I feel the govement are not backing things like this up Remember he is only 16 and having to pay for his prescricptions!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i mean these online schools look completely fake. Im an undergrad at a state school and the way these schools sound is just way too good to b true. Why would u think u can get the same degree with half the time effort, and $. They have online JD degrees u don't even need a bachelors or the lsat to get in!!! Are these schools degrees even valid newhere?

I am kinda naive. How much would it cost to do all of this, you know rent, food, gas, utilities and a little fun? I will be going to IPFW (In Indiana). Is it better to live in a dorm or get an apartment? Is there a site that I can go to to help me, or can you help me? Any and I repeat any advice is good and helpful to me!
Thank you so much!

I'm at a complete loss here. Please bear with me. I graduated in '06 and went str8 to college the following Fall. I chose that school in particular because it was in my price range, I was familiar with the area and my friends were there. Big mistake! I hated it. Then I decided to transfer to another school in a different state. I'm here now and I just can't do it anymore. I can barely get up to go to class and now all of a sudden I feel like what I've been working towards is not really what I want to do. Im scared that I'm going to end up without a degree and unhappy. I was an honor student in high school, graduated with a 3.0(because I slacked and moved my sophomore year and got a 2.1) I feel like I can do so much better, but I can't even figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm tired of crying about this and feeling like a failure. I finally decided that I wanted to do something in the medical field, but that means that everything I've done thus far was in vain.

I'm 34, divorced living with my fiancee and my five year old son who has autism. We struggle financially since I am a full-time chemistry major in college and my son can't be placed in a school because he is too aggressive so one of us always has to be home with him plus he has 20+ hours of therapy every week we have to take him to. I was a straight A student until my son got older and his problems became overwhelming. Now I barely am passing. I am over $100,000 in debt with college loans. Should I bail out of my chem degree which will take me years to finish or just try to muddle through? I can graduate next semester with an English degree. Help. I'm drowning.

I asked this question before but didn't get much related information.

I would like to know what are the duties or responsibilities or works that employees do in a school/university or an educational department about e-learning.
Beside designing, puting the data in the LMS(its database) and managing the learning components.....
Can you please explain more about exactly what do they do?

I should write at least about 3-4 sentences about what do they do to make e-learning content usable for students or the users who are related to e-learning.

I have read alot about e-learning but haven't found what are the responsibilities of the people who work and take part in this industry.



Thank you very much.

I make good grades (mostly A's). I do a few extra-curricular activities (debate, basketball). That's really about it. I'm a junior in high school, so I have a couple years to try to get in whatever I need to do to get accepted.

I am looking to get my degree. I work full time. I was thinking of doing a local CC for my AA and then transfer to a 4 year for my BS. I am trying to find the lowest cost per credit hour for online learning. I do not want to go to a degree mill. I am looking for actual colleges. Not University of Phoenix or Walden..etc...Thoughts?

I wasted 2.5 yrs going no where and maybe I should just end this cycle. Why waste money you don't have to get a degree you'll never get? I'll be dead broke no matter which option I chose.

Which CUNY campus has the best undergraduate English Dept?

2007-10-17 02:00:54 · 3 answers · asked by axeps2 1

I have places at both universities, (I have made my offers and am taking a gap year), but am unsure which place to take. At first sight, Oxford seems the axiomatic choice. But I greatly prefer the law course at LSE; Oxford's system is very strange. For one thing, an Oxford law student must take all exams at the end of three years, instead of having them spread out as LSE course offers. Plus, working in London would be fantastic experience, whereas my college at Oxford is primarily made up of modern and quite frankly ugly buildings, as well as being relatively far away from the city centre. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

I am looking to do my MBA and have been thinking of just going back to the same business school I did my BA in. I went to the University of Buffalo and it ranks in the top 50business schools in the US by Forbes. Should I do that instead of an online degree?

If you have an MBA how did you do it? Where did you go? and did it help you in career advancement?

I had a BA in Business concentrating in MIS and currently work in IT as an applications support analyst/help desk.
