HotSpicy_Creole asked:


I currently hold a Bachelor of Science Degree from a top 30 University (USC) and am a candidate for my MPA from a top 2 school (Northwestern). Although I am satisfied with my career and salary, should I consider going part-time in the evening for 4 years to pursue my JD at a distinguished university to practice law? Even though I am married, have a full-time job & two children under the age of 5. Am I taking on too much.

I am from Pennsylvania and need some advices and suggestions on good engineering colleges to go. It would be nice to know how much it costs approximately. Also, if anyone that is in the engineering field could tell me about the possible disadvantages of women in this field (is physical strength important? or do men have more creditability when looking for jobs?)

No masters but just an undergraduate degree. Would I be able to get a good mid level job that gets paid well? Or do I need to continue school to get that edge?

Lex D asked:

And what was the starting salary like?
I’m just curious what kind of business jobs people have gotten after they completed their MBA, and whether is was a mid/high level position straight out of school, with not a lot of work experience.
Ok i’m looking for serious answers from real MBA grads, not smart *** Yahoo losers…kthnx :D

Shortcake asked:

I am one year or less away from completing a masters degree in either journalism or secondary education. I can afford the final year, but it will leave me with absolutely no money in the bank to make ends meet until I get my first paycheck. Using either program, I would receive my teaching certificate.

But I have received a job offer that I think I very good. The pay is excellent, although it is 4 hours away from my family and friends here. It is in a major metro area, and I was born and raised in a mid sized college town. The only person I know in this particular area is an exboyfriend.

It is a teaching position at a wealthy middle school, which will be a big change as I’m used to teaching college students. The content area is journalism, and at the end of the school year I would receive my teaching certificate. This would delay my completion of my masters for probably 2 years.

Both options look good, and I really can’t choose. I would love any input you guys may have. Thanks!

TheOrange Evil asked:

My fiance is going through his mid-20s crisis and wants to go back to school to get his JD.

His undergraduate GPA was a little below 3.0, but his LSAT was decent. He studied for 2 weeks for a few hours after work using some LSAT guidebooks and he received a 162. He’s applying to re-take September’s LSAT and he’s already begun studying. He’s brilliant, but was kind of lazy, so I know he’ll do better if he actually invests time.

He worked on an important political campaign and he currently works at a law firm, so I hope both those jobs will bolster his law school application. He can get some great letters of recommendation from a few professors, an internship, and the candidate he worked for in the 2006 election.

Assuming he applies to a mid-range law school, what are his chances of getting in? What can he do to increase the likelihood?

He has a very high GRE score, as well. Would it be easier to get into grad school?
He has his bachelor’s degree in International Politics from a pretty good school.
