Resolved Question: Question about University Accreditation?

I found an online (distance) Bachelors Degree program in Music Business through a school called Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida. They are a "Career School" that specializes in Entertainment Majors. I have already earned my AA Degree from a local Community College here in California and I am interested in enrolling in this Music Business Bachelors Degree program at Full Sail. They are accredited through the "Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges" which is a national Commission. However, I am worried that businesses in California (where I will work) will not look too highly at this accreditation for my Bachelors degree. Should I be worried at all? Is this just as good as any accreditation or regional accreditation? Will I have a "REAL" Bachelors degree to be proud of? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Should i go on to school or work? Effects relationship?

I have a dilemma which effects me and my bf of 6.5 yrs for obvious reasons. I just graduated with my bachelor's degree in Sociology. Well, mistake, yes. It was the only thing I was interested in at the time and I did not know it was such a low-paying general field. I have always been business natured and all my jobs through college were business-related, so now I want to pursue my MBA. However, I have about 40K in student loan debt from my BA. And, I am having difficulty finding a job -- any job -- in my area. I have been applying for EVERYTHING from assistant manager at Toys R Us to Administrative Assistant. And I DO have experience and a Bachelor's. So I am wondering if I should just work only and pay down these large loan bills first or get into an MBA program now (which I would do in the evenings/online) and take on a little more student loan debt. This program through Western Gov University is really cheap for an MBA, it's $3,250 per term (6 months) and they said you can be done in 1-2 years depending on your own speed and what you can take on. So, it would cost between $6, 500 - $13K for an MBA. And I would have that much MORE student loan debt. But, I WOULD have a masters in business Admin which is usually asked for in well-paid positions........... Is this a bad idea??? I would also be working and getting experience. I am unsure of what to do! In YOUR opinion -- what would you do? And have you been in a similar situation?SORRY -- My age is 24...... I will be 25 in August 2010. THANKS!! more

Voting Question: Microsoft Certification Tuition?

12 years ago I was a certified Microsoft software technician. During the day I was outsourced to customers by the company I worked for. At night I taught at a technical college and also volunteered my time to teach displaced, out of work adults (most from manufacturing environments who worked for companies that took their business to Asia and Mexico) who desperately needed computer skills to become competitive in the workforce. When I had my son, I took a break from work to be at home with him. My husband's earnings were more than enough to support us. Well . . . he's not my husband anymore (it happens) and I found myself taking a job, any job, to support myself and my son. Many friend's have applied for and received grants to go back to school. My first love is teaching and the second computers. I'm hoping someone has traveled down this path before me and may offer some support. I have no desire to return to a two or four year degree program, whether a traditional classroom setting or a online college. What I would like to do is regain my Microsoft certification. Has anyone ever been sucessful in obtaining a grant strickly for certification? more

Resolved Question: An opportunity for me to get a job in a factory just opened up for me, but I don't know what to do. Any advice?

First of all, sorry this is long but I really need some advice!! Please read this and help me... I graduated last year from a university and got a bachelor of economics degree. Given the economy during the time, I couldn't find a job so I went to a temp agency. I ended up working in a couple factories over the last 6 and a half months. I don't mind the work at all, because it's the people who make it worth getting up every day. During this time I ended up going back to college for an associates degree in health care business services. I'm doing it because I'm struggling with trying to find what I want to do with my life. I'm taking 3 classes this semester, and I figure once I'm done with these 3, I'll be able to tell if I want a job in this field or not. The classes are somewhat hard so far, I have to memorize medical codes and learn insurance principles. Recently a friend of mine wanted me to come to a martial arts class. So I went one day just to humor him. When I went, I spoke to the instructor and talked about my situation. He ended up offering for me to come to his factory for an interview and seeing if he could get me a full time job. I went today and it's looking like I'll get the job, and it would be full time. I am so surprised by how this is happening. My problem is, I don't know what to do. I'm 22 years old and I live with my parents, going to school part time, working part time. Either of the factories I've been sent to could eventually hire me, and I'd be perfectly fine with that. I was actually offered a job a few months ago at the first factory I was at but I couldn't at the time, because I was taking classes on campus. (I plan on taking them online from now on) If I get sent back to that factory, I could very well get hired there and that's actually what I want to happen. There's no guarantee it will. So my question is, should I take this job now and get to working full time right away? I would be doing basic production work but also working with a computer, which I haven't done at my other jobs. Or should I pass this job offer up and keep my life the way it is? I would have more time for school and I would eventually get hired somewhere, probably in the summer. I would work at the factory until I'm done with school, which is about 2 years if I stick with the program. Until summer, I would probably only be working 30 hours a week unless more temp jobs open up. What would be the best thing for me to do?I'm currently working in a cheese factory. more

Resolved Question: Deep regret over the past years and missed opportunities?

Hi guys. I really need help on this and talk to someone about it as I told no one. I would really like some advice. It’s been a really big burden on me the past few weeks and has made depressed and suicidal. Sorry for making it so long. Here is the story: 3 years ago when I was 20yrs old I started college. I was full of hope and quite optimistic. I was meant to take a 3 year business diploma course specializing in finance and then my plan was to transfer to university. However by my second semester I fell into a deep depression and then I did very badly in school. Furthermore I had pretty bad social anxiety. Whenever I talk to anyone I could feel sweat coming out and my head perspiring. It was that bad, so bad that I was afraid to even go to class or even leave my room. This combination led me to skip almost all my classes for two semesters. Furthermore I got kicked out of the 3 year course and transferred to a 2 year course which is just a General Business Diploma. I graduated summer 2009 with a 2.5 GPA and it is not even a degree, it is a diploma! So basically it took me 8 semesters to finish a program that was only supposed to take 4. Afterwards I couldn’t get a job and had no where to stay and no money. Fortunately a relative of mine let me stay at her place in a town close by the city I was living in. For that I am very thankful for her but I can only stay here temporarily and I don’t even really like it much here. I cannot help but keep looking back at those years and thinking how differently I should have done things. It really should have been the best years of my life but it was really the worst. Those three years were a golden opportunity to massively improve myself and become independent and I f***ed it up. It should be a time where I should have been socializing a lot and making lots of friends but I didn’t even get a girlfriend! I feel so bad for wasting so much time and squandering so much money that my family gave me. I disappointed everyone who supported me. Now I really have no one to rely on anymore. I can’t rely on my parents because they are poor. Because a diploma on General Business in not enough I am currently to a different college to take a 1 year course which will give me a certificate for office administration. Afterwards I am totally on my own and I need to become financially independent. I feel like I have no chance to do this because my skills are not good enough. It’s funny and ironic because when I was in college I was bitter, resentful and regretful as well but about other things not noticing the great opportunity I had. Now I’m out of college I am regretful for not seizing that opportunity LOL. I feel so stupid sometimes. Now I’m 23 years old. I think I matured more. I have read books and gone online for help with this. Thank god for the internet because without it I have no one to talk to. Still I feel that I have really wasted my life and my youth and I have not accomplished anything. I spent so much time in my room alone in front of the computer it sickens me. Sometimes I hear voices saying “What have I done?” I get a tremendous sense of loss. I obsessively replay scenarios in my head where I would go back in time and change everything I do and do it right and make my life perfect. Of course I snap back into reality and then I feel depressed. Now I can no longer enjoy the present moment. I don’t know what to do... more

Voting Question: What are the requirements for admissions into an MBA program? =)?

I want to make sure I get as many of the qualifications done in time to apply for grad school. some facts: -undergrad junior with associate degrees -international relations major(BA)(2012) -communication major(BA)(2012)(likely to graduate with 3.5-3.7 for both) -freelance makeup artist -online business -community service (centered around international & youth issues) ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS: 1) i am a non business major and i would prefer to go directly into a program after i graduate. i heard that some schools require that you have work experience after bachelors? or does my time working at a bank during undergrad count? 2) for my major the highest i had to take was statistics, macro & micro economics. i am assuming i should take calculus before applying? any other class suggestions? 3) so i need a good gpa, gmat score & business experience for admissions? thank you for helping me out (in advance)! more

Resolved Question: I graduated college with a low GPA. Will taking classes at my community college help me get into grad school?

I recently graduated from a prestigious, Top 50, private university with a BA in Political Science, and now I want to go to graduate school for business. However, I was a slacker throughout college, partied a lot, skipped class frequently, and was content with getting Bs and Cs. I never really knew what I wanted to major in and just chose one for the sake of choosing one. I certainly did not make the most of the many opportunities I had offered to me. I graduated with a 2.4 GPA, which even if I get high exam scores, will still make it really difficult to get into most graduate programs. I was thinking of maybe taking online business classes at my community college and doing really well, and then about a year from now apply to grad school. I could perhaps find a business-related internship this summer to also increase my odds. How much though would this really help my chances? I've taken classes at my community college before for my own interest, and the classes are much, much easier than at the university I graduated from. Would doing well at a community college after getting my bachelor's degree really show a grad school that I'm capable of handling the work involved in getting an MBA? more

Resolved Question: What kind of online Masters programs can be completed online in a year, without some kind of thesis?

A little history: I went in and out of school, changing my major half a different times, until I finally went to a counselor and asked her to find me a degree program in a business like field as fast a possible. I ended up with a BS in Consumer Affairs. I will eventually need a Masters as part of my career progession. I am in the military so it doesn't matter what it is in. I don't like school, nor have I ever, but I understand it's importance. I don't find any aspect of it interesting and would like to sit at home all day watching TV. That being said, that's not possible, so I work. I am looking for a program I can complete online in a year without having to write a thesis of some kind. I don't really care what field it is in, I just want to get it done.Just as an aside, what I want to do vs. what I end up doing are two different things. Yes, I want to sit around all day, but I choose not to. Whatever I do end up doing I put my all into. A Masters is a waste of time for me because I technically won't use it, like my Bachelor's degree. The only reason I mention this is so that you don't get the wrong idea about military personnel not doing anything. I have Honors from almost every instituion I have entered be it military or civilian. more

Resolved Question: Online Degree Program Similar to Bachelor's in Entertainment Business from Full Sail?

I am searching for an online degree program that will allow me to go into a career as a Record Producer, Video Producer, Multimedia Artist etc. Something creative dealing with elements of Music and/or Video. Preferably a Bachelor's but an Associate's could work. Full Sail offers a program like this but they lack regional accreditation and are uber-expensive. So again, my key requirements are: Fully Online Program in Music/Multimedia (Bachelor's or Associate's Degree) Regional Accreditation would be nice Thank You for any help offered!The ideal program WOULD include subject matter in fields other than music/multimedia such as business and marketing courses to make for a well rounded education. Unrealistic career? I don't think so. Not when practically every business in existence has a website, and every website has CONTENT. Content being Music, Video, Animations, Pictures, and Text, in other words Multimedia. I am not attempting to go to college to become Dr. Dre, I'm not naive enough to think that you can just grab a degree and become rich and famous in this industry without hard work, dedication, and luck. Above all, I am NOT seeking advice. Whether you personally agree or not with my education and career choices is not my concern. Please offer any information on schools that offer programs similar to the one that I seek. Thank You! more

Resolved Question: Need help finding perfect online school?

Hoping someone can help chart my future here with a great school suggestion. I am currently in a two year community college but need to move to a four year program to complete my bachelors. My criteria are as follows: 1. Must be nationally and regionally accredited 2. Must offer complete Business Administration degree online 3. Must not be online only 4. Need reasonable tuition of $600 per credit hour or less (fees included) (I live in Ohio for state schools) 5. It should be a decent school that will look good on a resume (i.e. no University of Phoenix crap) I guess that is it. Flexible transfer credits would be a huge plus. I am sure there are a lot of schools like this, but finding them in a sea of college scam schools online is proving to be really difficult. Any help is appreciated. more

Resolved Question: I want to study accounting....?

I just realized I could apply to an M.S accounting program after taking only 8 accounting core classes. business students with a B.S usually take about 27 classes ( the core and then related). I want to be able to understand investments and banking and well as how a business works. I like the job security most of all ( granted investment banking pays more,but its hard as Heck), and that accounting can be applied to so many fields. I have a degree in Speech Pathology but I don't want to do that anymore. I figure I should go for the M.S instead of B.S in accounting because I would be getting more out of the education. Plus, I could go for a CPA- but that's besides the point. Is this a good idea? If there is an online program buy a reputable school, should I do that or the trad M.S program? more

I've only found a BA in liberal studies and a BA in business education so far. I don't have an applied associate's degree but I do have 30+ and will have 60 after Spring 2010. I just hate being around people and this makes me not want to go to class. I rather purchase a good computer for online classes and finish school that way.

Resolved Question: what kind of education should I get to own/rent/manage rental properties?

OK, My family is in the real-estate business, We own multiple properties in different locations (only about 15 miles apart) consisting of about 35 housing units and about 12 business units. I have learned a-lot from my family about renting apartments and they have learned a-little bit from me. I am now confident I could run these Properties properly, but they want me to get some sort of Business Management degree before I get more involved. (involved meaning INHERITANCE) so what type of education should I get, and what are some good schools that offer online programs? more

Resolved Question: Really Long: Why are people so discrimatory towards others based on their pre-concieved notions of normalcy?

I read an article online today and an individuals personal blog pertaining to people who are fat. The article posted a comment by a business owner who stated he would refuse to hire all fat people forever if he could get away with it like he did with all smokers. The personal blog I read later, blasted and insulted fat people about 50 times over with in a single paragraph. I want to know, what is happening to our country and it's people? I'm noticing a horrendous trend that I thought we outgrew a long time ago but obviously haven't: Discrimination, Hatred, and Intolerance. It seems that society as whole has turned to hating multiple groups of people for reasons beyond logic and understanding. It seems that it is rampant everywhere today. Discrimation against races, against men, women, sexuality (of many various types), various religions, obesity, smokers, disabled people, the homeless, the poor (anyone in govt or state insurance/financial aid assistance programs), the mentally impaired, the psychologically impaired, adult virgins, people with less than a college degree, people without a high school diploma or who were home-schooled, etc... All these types and more are insulted, belittled, degraded, backed into corners, forced to give up everyday common rights, and discrimated against everyday for wrongful reasons. I hear it, see it, read it, and watch it daily. It's everywhere and against everyone who does't fit into a designed notion of normality. Half the time, it goes on behind their backs, but still they suffer for it because they lose out on getting whatever it is that they are trying to gain but are declined for discrimatory reasons instead of logical reasons. The other half of the time, it's in their face, making it hard for them psychologically to keep going on and giving them every reason to give up on life. Almost forcing them to give up on life period. So, what possesses individuals today into believing that they are superior to anyone and everyone else to the point where they are insulting and rude to anyone who does not fit their guidelines of normalcy? Do they think they are gods or goddesses, kings/queens, the president? What??? What makes people today to believe that they are experts in what should be considered normal and what is not? What gives them that right to judge others and decide their fates for them? Why is hate, discrimination and intolerance still so widely accepted today? more

Voting Question: Seeking Master's degree with low Bachelor's GPA?

I am looking to pursue a teaching certification in the state of Georgia. Unfortunately I am falling short on the GPA min requirement of 2.5 for the GA TAPP program. I changed majors in college from engineering to business early in my school career. The engineering courses that I failed brought my overall GPA down even though I completed my requirements for a degree. One option GA gives is the pursuit of a master's degree. Is there an online or GA graduate program that will accept a 2.42 cumm GPA? more

Resolved Question: Information on a degree in Astronomy?

Right now I'm a year into online college for computer programming and database. I'm worried about job security as alot of jobs are getting outsourced to India and I am deeply interested in other fields. Not only this, but everything in the programming world is boring. Cubicle jobs for big greedy businesses and there's nothing you can really do in programming to make yourself stand out from others. Every piece of code you write has already been written by someone else before. Not only this, but I don't want a job where I will be staring at a computer screen for the next 20+ years. I've gotten into astronomy in the past year and love it. I bought an Orion XT8 telescope and frequently come here for questions regarding accessories and so on. I've had an interested in space since I was 7 years old. I'm now interested in a possible career in astronomy. What type of jobs and pay are there for a person with an astronomy degree? Has anyone else here majored in astronomy? I'm just skimming the surface of this subject right now but before I do another 2-3 years of college and am about to finish, I would like to know if a different career area is for me. Anyone got information on an astronomy degree or good websites? I appreciate any responses and help. more

Resolved Question: Should I pursue a Master's in Hospitality Management through a part-time program?

I graduated a little over one year ago with a BA in Political Science. Considering my career options, I went to law school and just finished my first year. I hated it! As I look back, I don't regret my first year of law school (except for tuition) because I would not have known unless I tried. Now I am pursuing a career in restaurant management (to get experience) with the hope of opening my own restaurant in the distant future. Because I do not have a degree in business, management, or hospitality, I am considering getting further education, specifically in restaurant management. I've found university certificates, associate degrees, bachelor degrees, and master's degrees in restaurant/hospitality management through online programs of several state universities. Since I already have a bachelor degree, I am wondering if getting any of those degrees or a certificate would be financially worthwhile and benefit my career. Obviously, a certificate would take the least amount of time and cost the least amount of money. A masters degree would obviously take more time and cost much more money. If anyone who has worked in restaurant management has any advice on this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Should I try taking more online classes?

I have to work full time at 40 hours. I just started an online program due to the convenience. I would really like to earn my degree as quickly as possible but I have gotten sick due to stress many times I have tried going to regular brick and mortar schools. I ended up wasting the money and dropping classes. Right now, I am only going to begin with one class. Eventually I want to take 2, but I am not sure if this will be too stressful. The college that I attend has a format where the classes require 6 written assignments, 3-4 pages long, 12 graded discussion posts, a midterm and a final. The semesters are 12 weeks long. I don't have any children. Have any of you taken online classes? Do you think it would be too much to handle if I take two? The classes that I have left to take are core accounting and upper level business classes. more

Resolved Question: Pursuing an MIS degree...what do you think?

I am a recent graduate from college, earning a B.A. in History. I am somewhat tech savvy and pick up fast on learning programming languages, using computer programs, etc. I was wondering if getting an MIS masters degree is worth it? I ask this question because I do not have a business background, so I am not too sure if it would even be worth going to school for. Is an MIS degree even valued anymore? I know CIS is more of the technical programming type of degree, but the math scares me away from this degree. I have checked the Occupational Outlook Handbook online and the job prospects are supposedly pretty good. Are there any MIS majors out there that could maybe help me out with this? Thank you! more

Resolved Question: Will getting my Master's Degree give me a competive advantage at work or somewhere else?

Currently, I work for a third party benefits administrator. I work in the call center, and assist employees with all the benefits questions, problems, and enrollments. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Management, and have been in the same position for 2 years. I planned when I graduated in 2007 to get my Master's but I wanted tuition assistance from a employer. Well my employer is a small company so they do not offer that as a employee benefit. I am wondering if it is in my best interest to attend a online program for Human Resource Management and this would possibly advance my career within the company or finally get the courage and leave. I also have my license in Health, and Annuities and Life Insurance. The school I am looking at is Drexel, which is a great school academic wise and its online, The problem is it equals my salary, would be adding on top of student loans I also have, This is like a business deal and I do not want it to belly flop. more

Resolved Question: How to begin to recover from a divorce? Ex-housewife!?

I just got began divorce proceedings last week. No regrets, long time coming. Through therapy and the support of the online community I stood my ground in my marriage and he can't handle it so it's over. But I have been a housewife for years. Don't work and go to school full time. He will not be giving me alimony- his job is a start up company and he is an independent contractor. He doesn't have to report his earnings there is no way to make him support me until I can do so myself. (Should married rich instead of for love! LOL) I don't graduate until next year. I do not have a long verifiable work history or a degree. Even if I did working on the books would make it so I have to pay partial tuition out of pocket and I can't afford it. I have a teenage daughter to take care of. So, how do I find a way to support myself. I am very educated although I don't have a degree. I write very well. Most people who have read my works suggest I get published. I have extensive knowledge of office programs and operations. I ran three home businesses in different fields. I can do hair a little bit... I don't know. It's hard enough for those holding BA's and even Master's to get a job right now. I don't have family that will support me financially- but they won't see me homeless or starving either. I am kind of confused, and lost BUT I am determined to do this on my own. My husband is disputing the divorce and would like to keep the marriage going. He is a firm believer in making a marriage work. So am I but when life threatening issues within a relationship occur one should leave immediately. I was stupid and stayed 7yrs. I'm tired. At times I want to go back to him because I do love him and he provides for me very well. But I just can't. My daughter hasn't been with us all this time. She just came back into my life. She lived with family all her life and she wanted to come home to me so she began acting up because she couldn't. She is now in a group home and a very significant part of my life. She is my main focus. Staying in a relationship with an addict who can be abusive when he is using is not the way I want to show my daughter. Now is a critical time for her, and I. I want to show her how to correct her past behavior and become a strong, educated, self-reliant woman. Any suggestions on how to hold my head in this situation? I know this is very deep and personal but I enjoy getting various outlooks from people. You never know what may work! POSITIVE LEGAL SUGGESTIONS ONLY PLEASE!Wow! I cried when I read you guys' posts. Between the gentleman whose mother came from a place similar to mine to the suggestions to looking for a job online(I started last night on CL :) THANK YOU ALL. You don't know how important even the smallest vote of confidence is in a time like this. God bless you all. I heard you and am taking the advice....today! more

Resolved Question: should i take these courses?

i am about to be a college freshmen and i am planning to take 7 courses this fall semester. I went online to my community college's website and i saw the program requirements and course descriptions in my major which is administrative assistant under office technology.
