Is that Elementary Education?
08-18-05, 11:47 AM IndigoFlavours There are so many things I want to do. My main thing I want to do is double major in journalism (print, not broadcast) and political science. But, I also want to continue with German and hopefully start learning other languages, which leads me to studying international relations. I am also interested in law, especially constitutional law and civil rights. My main problem is I don't know what colleges would let me pursue all... five(?) at the same time.

08-18-05, 03:01 PM FredPuli I was going to be a jockey but tragically I passed the exams to get me in to read law; and my father had promised, too Frown. He said to me " Never fret over your exams. Remember, if you fail, you can always be a jockey !"
I've spent the ensuing years thinking how I too could be on several million pounds or dollars a year just in a retainer, never mind rewards from riding the winners,from quite a young age,plus winnings, plus a share of stud fees of big winners (more tens of thousands a year per sire), plus an enormous pension claimable at 35 years on ( which I wouldn't need but had acquired tax free) and all the rest.

08-23-05, 10:47 PM SeattleRon Dang I'm hangin around with some real scholars around here. Thats pretty cool! Myself, high school dropout at age 14, but got my GED at 21. Registered for comunity college, but have yet to attend.
08-24-05, 02:48 AM DvdGStwrt GED at 16 to get out of school – that opened the doors for my first career: 4 years hard labor (Tobacco Fields).
Followed by 23 years of miscellaneous hard labor in other specialties, construction, landscaping, etc. Carpentry has always been my major field of interest.
Several years School of Hard Knocks, with a side course in Applied Experimentation where one learns from mistakes.
About 18 years of weekend/late night study from Public Library borrowed Books, including subjects ranging from Religion to Art, plenty of knowledge in sustainable living, organic gardening, and of course capentry.
Psychology and sociology by traveling, meeting thousands of people listening to their stories, specializing in empathy and understanding.
Oh, and some college with a liberal dose of Liberal Arts Wink

Though you and I share many commonalities, that isn't one of them. I was blessed in never being caught for my petty crimes.
However other aspects of your/our life fall under the broad scope of the School of Hard knocks, and prison would be just one of the class rooms. The school of Hard knocks is life, street life perhaps is closest to that institution of learning.
08-24-05, 02:02 PM ilse72 Nursing...while I have worked many areas: dermatology, ICU, CCU, same day surgery, OB/Gyn and school nursing, my area of specialty and most experience was ER. I am currently 'retired' having left my last job in April.

08-24-05, 02:22 PM methos Well, I majored in English for a while, but took only 11 of the 14 courses I had to take, so that turned into a really intensive minor. I also minored in physics and majored in chemistry. Now I'm working on my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry.
08-24-05, 03:26 PM VelvetVoice BS in Business Management with minor in Finance (and shenanigans).
MBA in Finance with minor in Economics.
If I get into Yale as an employee, I will immediately begin my Phd. Any suggestions on what I should write my thesis on? I want to write something that will have an impact on the surrounding community.
08-24-05, 04:54 PM Sherasi Evaluation of marketing strategies to target market specific population demographics... how is that for a thesis topic?

Are there any improvements that you think should be made in your community?
08-25-05, 07:44 AM VelvetVoice Depending on what job I get going in, I want to write something like 'the economic analysis and/or benefits to providing education and/or music and/or jobs to the local community'. Yale recently started accepting students into the teaching program if they promise to work in inner city schools for three years. There is a love/hate relationship that exists between the city and the school. I want to help close that gap, if I can.
When I was working on my MBA, I chose subjects and wrote papers to benefit both the job and to enrich my understanding of the material. I went to one interview at Yale, and she asked me what my thesis would be, and I have been musing over it ever since. I want my job to have an impact beyond my own life and pocketbook.
08-25-05, 08:00 AM MsSueM In my idealistic twenties, nursing. In my still-somewhat-idealistic thirties, I've returned to college just for the love of learning and to explore what career I want for the rest of my working life. I'm leaning toward English or business in order to teach either of those subjects in an adult-education setting.

PhD in what? Education?
08-25-05, 11:38 AM VelvetVoice Probably in Finance or Economics. I don't know if I'd qualify for an Education degree, I have no courses at all in my background about teaching.
Look at it this way: -Elementary ed-facts like math, science, history. -Undergrad ed-basic applications like Statistics, Finance, here is how the facts fit in a basic structure. -Graduate-Here are several applications of theories you learned in undergrad, and what makes them successful or unsuccessful. Production Management, Financial Management, Cost Accounting examples. -Doctorate-I need to figure out a way to apply any of the theories or come up with new ways of using information or applications. This is my start and end, and here are my results. My test case maybe is City of New Haven, I make all inner city kids successful in understanding money, finance, whatever, I write a book describing what I did, I become a famous published author.
I want an idea of what it should be. What exactly do I need to choose to apply for entry into the program? Do I need to already be published? do I need other credentials to qualify? Do I need to go into it with an idea already formulated? Does this make any sense at all?
09-10-05, 07:17 PM SeattleRon right on DvdGstwrt, thats good you never been locked up. I've probably spent a good 3 and a half years of my life behind bars. Believe me it was a pain in the butt to get my rights reinstated. A lot of letters, classes, and a lot of money later and I'm able to vote again. Prison is not the place to be.
10-15-05, 09:15 PM samantha I have my degree in nursing. I didn't work a long time and mostly on the vascular floor. I always loved law though my brother is a lawyer.
10-19-05, 08:19 AM Elexina Okay, ready? I double-majored in Fire Science Administration and Fire Investigation, and minored in Criminal Justice. I also have an Associate's degree in Fire & Occupational Safety, and several certificates.
