Are associates degrees okay or do you need a bachelors degree to get a good job? I want to be in the Hotel Management field but just don't think I can handle 4 years of college

It seems like the only time I can really get to work and force myself to focus is when an assignment will be handed in or test is the next day. I start reading these things I know that I need to know for my major and for the things I find interesting but I still let my mind wander. I become impatient with the text and go on to some fiction I find interesting...or go online (the more likely case), I know I am smart but I KNOW I am not reaching my potential because of my laziness. Tomorrow I am going to make a schedule of readings and keep myself in the library in one seat with my work. Any other suggestions, I really hope my idea works. I HAVE NO DISCIPLINE!

My degree (business - finance and accounting) does not interest me very much...I procrastinate the assignments till the last minute, however, I do the work just to get the grades...It's not exciting and I hate reading about business...But I am doing well with grades and such, and I know I will be able to get a good and stable, high paying job (and I know it's a job that I won't HATE going to in the morning) should I keep at it? I LOVE psychology, it's something that I can read about for days...but I'm afraid of the job market after I graduate (even from grad school) What should I do? It's like my brain tells me to go business...but my heart wants to be in psychology...and please no "do what your heart tells you" answers...

I will be attending UT Austin Pharmacy School. I cannot seem to find the answer to this question anywhere. I know technically I will be working to earn credit hours, but not ON campus. Or will I? Any additional wise owl Pharm school advice is also appreciated. :-)

To me, Oxford and Cambridge are the only universities outside of the U.S. that I've herd of. I'd like 2 no how their athletic rivalry compares 2 the ones over on this side of the pond (i.e. Harvard/Yale, Ohio State/Michigan, USC/UCLA, Georgia/Florida Duke/North Carolina, etc.) I'm pretty sure that the one major difference is how commercially hyped college sports is over here as opposed 2 the like beyond American universities.

I am a Junior in college. I am working very hard to get good grades and often choose not to party. The problem though is I have friends that are females here but on a relationship side I feel that they all see me as unattractive because I care a lot about my studies (gpa 4.0 Mathematics major). What can I do attract more females? I am 5ft 9 175lbs medium build and I'm a resident assistant at Merrimack.

We are aware that there had been a lot of shattered dreams, innocent lives sacrificed, and traumatic experience of students, professors and administrators alike due to shooting incidents inside school campuses. How can we curtail such traggic events? How can we make our school or university compound the safest place to stay?

I heard this kid at my school talking and saying that he was lucky he got into college last year because he has a MySpace and that colleges are declining people because the have a MySpace or a Facebook.

I really don't think that's true.

I'm just curious about what other people think of all that. So, what do you think?

I am very serious about going to school to become a pharmacist once I graduate from high school. I know that this will require at least 5-6 years of college to get my PharmD, and the classes will be difficult. I would like to know people's opinions about the schooling that is required. Do you think it will be worth all the time and work in the long run? What kinds of classes will I be taking during this time, and how difficult is it to be accepted into a pharmacy program after completing the undergrad courses?

One of my professor's posts my entire classes' grades on the internet in a way that they are 100% public. No login is required to view. Furthermore, it has our student ID and our Full Name next to the grades. Is this a violation of FERPA?

I want to go to graduate school, but I don't know in what, or whether I should pursue a masters or Ph.D.

The pros of a masters: Entry level, easier to get into, less time commitment (2 years instead of 6), but VERY expensive (30 thousand dollars a year), has a better chance at a more prestigious career/better grad school.

The pros and cons of a PhD: More prestigious, MUCH less expensive/free (THEY pay YOU to get one!), takes 2 less years to get the same credentials ..but less likely to get into, and you really (I think) have to know what you want to do before you enter into a program.

So what should I do, folks? I don't even know how to get closer to knowing what I should do. I thought making this list of pros/cons would help, but really it just makes me more confused.

Introductory film/video production.

I registered for the class a week late, I handed in the first assignment the next week (film, then second part edit).

Then she told me she would not give me credit for it (5%) because it was not done on time, nor would she give me credit for editing it because it was due that day (total of 10% of my grade.)

I had to talk her into giving me partial credit for the first assignment. So I basically started out the class with a -6percent.

Then another assignment I did and went to go get it processed. They process once a week, I went there and the lady left early. Then I went again on their processing day and they already did that. I told my teacher and she said she would not give me credit for it because she gave me a week extension. I told her that the store closed early (even though store hours showed otherwise) but she says she will not accept it (it is worth 15% of my grade)

Another student overexposed her film and the teacher let her re do it
