So, my advice would be to not to go overboard with AP courses. Try to take only for subjects you are interested in or something you can excel in. Taking too many AP courses may affect adversely on your overall grades. \nTry to take those subjects in which you want to excel your career. \nAlso, another advise is to take them earlier on, in the Sophomore or Junior years.</p> </s>" }

Photography is a great hobby, one that can also provide some financial benefits. i have a few friends that are very avid photographers on the side that make a decent amount of spending cash on the side. They started off with posting their best pictures on social media, usually through an account dedicated just for their pictures, and using hashtags to increase exposure to the account. Usually, there next step was to continue to grow their portfolio, which occurred with photo shoots of nature, weddings, etc. After their work received a decent amount of exposure, they would usually ask their friends to spread the word of their services, and also post on forums or websites listing their prices. You may have to initially start with getting paid next to nothing when building your reputation and portfolio. </p> </s>" }

Cosmetology programs range from 1,000-1,500 hours.</p>\n<p>Specialists</p>\n<p>Students can choose to specialize in individual cosmetology fields. Estheticians, or skincare professionals, take courses that cover facial treatments, body wraps, skincare chemicals and body hair removal techniques. Nail technicians, also called manicurists, participate in coursework that covers manicures, pedicures, artificial nails, nail color treatments and nail diseases. Specialist programs typically require around 600 hours of coursework.</p>\n<p>Both cosmetologists and specialists have to adhere to state licensing requirements. Most states have age restrictions, as well as minimum education requirements. To be eligible for licensing exams, individuals must complete a set number of training hours during cosmetology school.</p>\n<p>Licensing exams can include written or practical tests, and sometimes both. Written exams cover questions about sanitation rules, chemical usage, hair styling techniques and state laws. Practical tests involve applicants following directions to style a mannequin or model. Some states also administer an oral examination in which applicants must provide verbal answers to cosmetology-related questions.</p>\n<p>Many states have licenses for each cosmetology specialty. Some states combine specialties under one unified license. After cosmetologists obtain their license, they might have to renew it by periodically paying a fee and filling out appropriate paperwork.

Regardless if you work in an office/hospital setting or provide services online, you MUST be licensed.

The salaries or hourly rates are not great, so you may want a longer term plan to further your career.

At this time, you can only provide online/phone services to people who reside where you are licensed. For example, if you are licensed in New Jersey, you <strong>cannot</strong> provide treatment to people who live in other states or in other countries. In addition, you need extensive cultural diversity and sensitivity training to be qualified for any therapy job, but this is very important if you have hopes of working with people of diverse cultures. Psychological approaches are always considered within the context of the group's culture and way of life. In addition to licensing laws, there are many other restrictions on how telehealth can be provided. Good luck, and ask your professors/teachers for advice!</p> </s>" }

If you failed to manage your time well, you may find yourself starting to struggle in your classes.

Many college professors will not give you cookie-cutter instructions for everything, you might be confused and it will be best for you to let them know when you have a problem, question, or a concern right away. Learning to manage your time well would definitely help you stay on track with all your classes.</p><p><br></p><p>In regards to if you are worry about struggling to understand the concept of your classes, there are some options available on campus to help you besides meeting your professors during their office hours.

But only a few people realize that software development is also a very creative way of life. It is by definition creative since you design new functionality which never existed. The solutions can be expressed in several ways, both in structure and in details. Often there are things to make (for instance speed versus memory usage). And the solution must be correct. And everything needs creativity.</p><p><strong>2) Quite in demand:</strong></p><p>None can deny that.More and more everywhere is making use of software, or as Marc Andreessen says: “Software is Eating the World“. To mention as there are more programmers, demand is yet pacing out the supply. Software companies say that one of their greatest challenges is finding good developers. Though there is enough competition between employees, there is also huge competition between the employers to get the finest programming minds.</p><p><strong>3)Collaborative:</strong></p><p>Another myth is that developers sit alone at their technical box and code the entire day. But software development is rather always a team effort. You have to discuss programming issues and bring out solutions with your colleagues, and discuss the needs and other issues with the product managers, testers and also the customers.

{ "text": "<s> [INST] Whats the difference in a nurse practioner and a physicans assistant? I am trying to find the best career for me. #nurse-practitioner #physican Keywords: nurse, assistant, practitioner, physican, practioner[/INST]\n<p>Over the last two decades, several new medical and healthcare professions have been created to keep up with the need for specialized health care. Two such healthcare professions are that of a physician assistant and nurse practitioner. </p>\n<p>Both of these professions are somewhat similar, with only subtle differences between them. This close similarity in job descriptions often poses a problem, as many people find it difficult to differentiate between the two specialties. This article helps you understand the two specialties in detail and clears up any existing confusion between them. Both physician assistants and nurse practitioners require a formal degree of education and both are trained to take care of the ill and deliver healthcare to those in need. While at first glance they may appear to be similar, there are some differences between the two professions which mainly relate to the type of education that each profession requires.</p>\n<p>Nurse Practitioner: A nurse practitioner, or NP, is essentially a more academically advanced and experienced registered nurse. In fact, a registered nurse acquires a nurse practitioner certification when he or she advances from a bachelor’s degree (BN) to a master’s or doctoral degree and qualifies through a national exam. Nurse practitioners must follow through with continued education and recertify after a certain number of years. Nurse practitioners may also need to apply for additional responsibilities at the state level.</p>\n<p>Physician Assistant (PA): A physician assistant, or PA, must also earn a master’s degree. After this, a physician assistant must qualify by taking a national certification exam, called the PANCE, and practice under a trained physician. Physician assistants must also pursue continued education and state licensure. In addition, PA’s have to recertify after a certain amount of time through another examination, which is called the PANRE.</p>\n<p>Nurse Practitioner vs. Physician Assistant\nOne major difference between the two professions is the type of education required. Whereas physician assistants qualify through a more general medical examination, called the PANCE, and are not required to complete a residency, nurse practioners generally qualify through an exam more specific to population of focus, such as pediatrics or geriatrics, and have practical experience as BNs before qualifying. Usually, NPs and PAs are both able to diagnose and treat illness in addition to prescribe medication; however, nurse practitioners may have to apply on the state level for certain additional responsibilities, such as prescribing medication.</p>\n<p>Another difference between the practice of physician assistants and nurse practitioners is that a physician assistant must practice under the supervision of a physician. Although pysician assistants, or PAs, may be able to perform certain duties on their own, they do this under the authority of their supervising physician. On the other hand, nurse practitioners may have more independence in that they can carry out some tasks in providing healthcare and assistance independently, without supervision by a physician, depending upon state laws, level of education, and additional certifications and qualifications achieved.</p>\n<p>Because physician assistants have to work in sync with a qualified physician, the number of hours they work is more closely related to that of their supervising physician. On the other hand, nurse practitioners may have more autonomy in that regard. Since, in some states, nurse practitioners can work solo, nurse practitioners can decide when and for how long they work. If their work is not dependant on any other medical professional, they will have more discretion as to their own professional lives and routine.</p> </s>" }

To be a comic book artist you need art skills and experience, ideas, creativity, and a well rounded education.

However, how important the scores are in relation to your GPA, references, extra curricula activities, etc. is something that differs amongst colleges, so don't worry if yours are not that great.</p>\n<p>To find schools that don't require SAT's for admission, I would just google the question you asked above \"Colleges or Universities that don't require SAT scores\" and see what pops up. I know George Washington University in Washington DC just announced they are not using them for admission. I'm thinking most art schools are more interested in your portfolio than your SAT scores, so you have a head start there already. I'm also thinking that if you have a stellar art portfolio, that could help to counter low SAT scores in applying for 4 year colleges; don't let low SAT scores hold you back from applying to colleges. </p>\n<p>As for the dorm living situation, I would get one of those books that list and describe colleges; there are online sources for this too. Visit your local library or school library and ask the librarian for help on finding these resources. Check with your High School Guidance Office or Career Center, if you have one.

First, for me, the best part of being a mechanical engineer is that I am always learning, creating, and working with a wide variety of talented people. I have been in product development for a long time. There are always new challenges in the devices that I help develop and in the technology that we are creating and using to develop the products. I have also had the chance with work with people from all over the world here in the US and on site in their facilities. </p><p><br></p><p>Regarding why you should pick mechanical engineering over another career, that is a very personal question for you. Above, I told you why I like being a mechanical engineer. You have to decide if that is a good fit for you. I strongly believe that you should get an education that you are not only passionate about, but one that can provide you with skills to take you on your career path that you are also passionate about. Mechanical Engineering is a broad degree within engineering and can be applied in many different ways. </p><p><br></p><p>You are very smart to consider this early and pick the right career path.

I'm a senior this year and I do not know if its best to go to a community college before a university. \r\n#college #community-college #academic-advising #nursing \r\n Keywords: college, nursing, university, academic, senior[/INST]\n<p>Hartasia,</p><p><br></p><p>As an academic advisor for STEM students at a 4-year institution, I see a lot of transfer students coming from community colleges. The only advantage that I see in going to community college first is cost - i.e. if you are paying out of pocket or through a loan, community college can be cheaper. Yet, depending on the major you want to pursue, community college might not be your best choice for cost saving. </p><p><br></p><p>If you are seeking to do a STEM major, or any major where there is a strict course sequence chain, you will probably need to start with your STEM classes from your very first semester if you want to graduate as quickly as possible. The strategy of taking your general education courses first and then transferring to a 4-year university does not work for all majors. Students who transfer in some STEM majors from community college may end up being eligible to take only a couple of classes per semester for one, two or three semesters, thus prolonging their path to graduation. For example, at my school all computing majors start with Programming I and Programming II, and until a student completes Programming II, they cannot take any other classes in their major. In the end, it may end up being more expensive, not cheaper to start at community college. So it really depends on the major you want to pursue and what the specific community college can offer in terms of classes counting towards this major.</p><p><br></p><p>Another consideration is the rigor of the classes offered by the community college. For example, we often have students come in with Programming I and II credit from community colleges, only to find out that what they learned at their courses does not match the depth/breadth of the classes at our institution, i.e. they find themselves unprepared for the higher level courses that have Programming II as a prerequisite. Thus, again, it is a matter of researching what a particular community college offers in terms of your academic and career goals.</p><p><br></p><p>If your chief motivation for starting at a community college is cost-cutting, there are other ways to do that. Many colleges accept CLEP https://clep.collegeboard.org/ credits to satisfy general education requirements; Students can complete free online classes to prepare for the CLEP exams offered by the nonprofit Modern States https://modernstates.org/ , who also offer vouchers to cover the cost of the exam itself. I routinely recommend this option to my advisees.</p><p><br></p><p>I would recommend that you meet with an academic advisor from the 4-year institution that you may be interested in to discuss your plans and path - they should be able to guide you.</p> </s>" }

Meaning it is a good job for a woman to supplement the household income of a husband that is the major bread winner. You also have state legislatures that speak down to educators because it is an expensive of the state budget. Heck, in Texas, they balanced the state's budget by taking $5.6 billion away from public education but cut business taxes. But public school administrators also look down on teachers. I was admonished during a meeting when I suggested that a student of mine exhibited characteristics of having cerebral palsy. The principal stood corrected when the mother told her that the family neurologist just diagnosed her that morning with cp. Not three weeks later she was walking in the hall with her brother, a medical doctor, that stopped me and shook my hand. He told his sister that I was his \"neuro\" professor in medical school. She was unaware I also was an adjunct professor at two different universities. Though I enjoy teaching at upper level universities, the public school population is the one I love and if you love what you are doing everything else happens.

Find a recording studio and see if you can intern there and \"shadow\" the sound editor. See if that's what you really want.

First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear.

Other experience like volunteering, part-time work, and many other skill building activities all contribute to our overall employability.\r\n\r\nTo use a personal example, I took a very general degree because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for work either. I ended up working at the Career Centre on campus as a student for a couple of years, and came back full time after I graduated. \r\n\r\nIf you are interested in exercise science and have the means to complete the program, I would recommend going for it without worrying too much about what comes after at this point. You can set some short-term goals and next steps to accomplish that can keep your skills up to date and keep you on the right path, and adapt your goals or plans for after you finish your education as you go. \r\n\r\nIf you are still unsure, try looking for someone with an exercise science degree and find out what they are doing. Your school may be able to help you find alumni like this. Ask them for an information interview, where you can sit down with them for 30 minutes and pick their brains about what their experience has been like during, and after school. </s>" }

Licensure usually includes passing an exam and earning several thousand hours of supervised clinical experience. Some workers go on to earn their master's degree in social work. </p>\n<p>Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work\nMost child protective services workers begin their careers by earning a bachelor's degree in social work. Such degree programs typically offer courses that teach prospective social workers how to interview clients, assess their needs and formulate potential solutions for the problems they face. Other skills learned may include crisis intervention, case management, community outreach, community organizing, research and advocacy. These degree programs generally combine theoretical knowledge with practical application.</p>\n<p>Step 2: Gain Employment in a Child Protective Services Agency\nSome entry-level social workers are able to attain positions in child protective services immediately after college if they have completed an internship or other fieldwork program. Many child protective service agencies provide extensive on-the-job training to new social workers and a support base from co-workers in the field. New child protective services workers visit homes to assess potential problems and provide either counseling or intervention as necessary. </p>\n<p>Step 3: Consider an Advanced Degree\nA Master of Social Work (MSW) is a requirement for child social workers looking to become child protective service supervisors or child services clinical practitioners or to enter social work mid-career. Master's programs can take 2-4 years to complete, either full or part time, and they do not require a specialized bachelor's degree in social work.</p>\n<p>In: http://study.com/articles/How_to_Become_a_Child_Protective_Services_Worker.html</p>\n<p>In the link below, you can read about the curriculum subjects that are part of the training course in CPS worker:\nhttp://classroom.synonym.com/kind-classes-cps-worker-1688.html</p>\n<p>Good luck and good studies!</p> </s>" }

Throughout your education, you should really work on your writing skills - communication is very important!!! Try to get a job or volunteer position working with animals, at a vet hospital, a local animal shelter, or animal rehabilitation facility.</p>\n<p>2) Apply to colleges that are strong in biology and/or animal sciences. These two programs usually differ in focus - animal science usually focuses on applied aspects of animal production and care, while the biology track tends to focus on physiological, ecological and evolutionary science. Both tracks can allow a graduate to get a job in animal behavior right out of college. A third possibility is to apply to programs in veterinary technology.</p>\n<p>3a) If you are interested in becoming a veterinarian, you apply for graduate programs during your senior year of college. There are very few vet schools, which makes the competition very tough. You must work very hard in college academically and display your drive and commitment by working or volunteering with animals in some way in order to have a good chance of getting in. Many students work at vet hospitals during college.</p>\n<p>or</p>\n<p>3b) If you are interested in research in animal behavior or physiology, you apply to graduate school during your senior year of college. Animal behavior graduate programs can be in either psychology or biology departments. There are masters programs that are typically 1-2 years or doctor of philosophy (phd) programs that are often 4-7 years long. To increase your chances of acceptance in these graduate programs, during college you should consider internship programs in an area of research that is interesting to you. There are many of these programs - check out animal behavior REU (research experience for undergraduates) programs. You can get a job with a masters degree in many different fields. If you go for a phd, you tend to really love research and school. Most people tend to stay working in universities. You can become a professor or a researcher.

{ "text": "<s> [INST] What obstacles or mountains must an actor/actress overcome to be assigned major film roles? I want to major in theater to improve my skills and work my way up in the film industry after college. #management #entertainment-industry #personal-development #acting #voice-acting #film Keywords: acting, theater, actor, roles, film[/INST]\nOkay, Peace, learn as much as possible in college. Learn all the skills that interest you as you've listed. Take a look at a local theater, and audition or volunteer in the office. You might work with someone who will offer a hand later. But there's very little salary unless you're working at a regional theater or Broadway. Regarding your desire to work in the film industry might take years. You could sign with an agent, and start working as an extra. However, management and tech would be a far easier way for employment. Nobody starts working over night, and everybody has their own personal way. And you really should pay attention to the film industry being discussed in Twitter or Facebook or especially Studio 32. Then you'll read the best daily tips. And such a career takes persistence. Good luck. </s>" }
