I use to think this when I first was going to college, but I don't fall for that line anymore. So many colleges try to entice students to sign up with the slogan "you learn more you earn more" which really isn't true in the real world. I know many people with masters degrees who are unemployable or working for a boss who just has a high school education. My cousin almost has his law degree from a well respected school and can not find a job anywhere when he graduates. So basically he will have a law degree and be unemployable.

It seems how well you perform in the work place means a lot more then how many diplomas and certifications you can hang on your wall.

My Grandma was a "do it all" woman, who rasied my Dad and his siblings as a single mom with a full time job as a nurse.

I got marked for diction and tense change between who and raised.

I am not sure what I need to change or why.

I'm a senior majoring in Political Science and Economics, and I am really interested in pursuing a career as a real estate appraiser. Although I know that a career diploma from PCDI would not take the place of getting a license, I would think that it can only help me. I am willing to set aside some of my money and complete the career diploma. Do you think this is a wise choice? I don't know of any other appraisal program in my home state.

I am pretty much shut out of college application wise, if I engaged in a enlightning and compelling conversation/ debate with a professor at a cetain school and personally demonstarted my intelligence to them, is there a possibility that the professor may "sway" the decision of my admissions?

im stilll really young, and schools going bad, so no one say just stay in school i already have my mind set. I just want to know from someone who maybe in the same situation, what the best place would be to work, or where i ccould find work that pays enough. Im planning in the future if i do this i can have time to skateboard, and im close to gettin sponsored by loc skateshop so i get money for that all the time ..
I wasnt planning on dropping out, but i actually think this is what i want, i dont care so much about moneyy, just as long as when i turn 18 i can have a fair paying job to pay off rent, and live in a small place, all i do anyways is skate so i dont think college is right for me. And i would prefer living in a small place, just as long as i can skate, eat, and have a roof over my head.

I have a B.A. in Psychology and I am on my way to an M.A. in the same field. I am planning to switch out and go into a Master's Program in History. Should I apply to lesser programs anticipating that higher quality programs will want experienced History students or do you think it will have no bearing on my application?

would you pick someone who has worked "on the job training" so many years and performs very well is better qualified to receive a higher grade job over a person who has spent years in a class room studying for something he/she doesn't use?

For a long time, I've wanted to teach as an adjunct professor on a part-time basis. I'd like for someone with experience in this area to tell me, based on my description of my situation, whether this sounds like a realistic option for me.

I have an M.S. in Computer Engineering, and I've worked for five years as a full-time software engineer. I have no formal teaching experience. My goal to become an adjunct professor is more for personal fulfillment than for money or advancement, so I don't care about what it pays or whether the position is prestigious. However, since I intend to continue my full-time job, I would only be available for teaching night classes. If I got to pick, I would prefer to teach a class in programming or computer engineering.

So, does that sound reasonable? Or is there no demand for people in my circumstances?

enrolled into a master's program and passed/completed all required major and elective courses for the degree, but did not get it, because I was disqualified and kicked out for not maintaining a 3.0 GPA by my last quarter. I had a 2.85. My grades were all B's, except 3 C's that I got. I am truly bummed, and my administrators in the program are not going to let me reenroll to fix my GPA. They are firm in their stance. I've done several variations on resume.

Vote!!

Master Degree, all coursework completed, December 2006

Master Degree, program completed, degree pending

Master Degree, all coursework completed, degree pending

Master Degree, all coursework completed, degree expected December 2007 (small lie)

Master Degree, December 2006 (a small lie, but competition is fierce in the job market)

Master Degree, program completed, degree expected December 2007 (another small lie, keep employers thinking its a work in progress, but doesn't sound like it anymore based on my administrato

Is it good or bad that I have a cousin that is going to WashU? Should I tell WashU that my cousin's enrolled? because I kind of want to go too, and would like to get everything I can to try to get in.

On the other hand, my cousin has had a bad reputation and has always gotten in trouble and gotten on "the bad side" with teachers. To put it simply, he's been a bad apple.

Considering THAT, should I inform the interview-ee or the admissions office at WashU that my cousin would be currently enrolled as a senior when I enter college there?
Would that help my chances of getting accepted by WashU?

Thanks,
and if you have any other tips concerning college admissions, it would all be GREATLY appreciated.

Do these professors do research outside of teaching their college students?

If so, what kind?

Also, are there any other activities that math professors usually take part in outside of the classroom?
