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.

John G asked:

I’m 16, and now its coarse selection time in my school. I’m in mostly mid level classes, but we get preached at by teachers saying that if we don’t get spotless grades, we wont get into college, and then they go from there saying were going to have miserable lives. I’m not too smart in math, but am told i am great with computers and music. I know i want to get into the IT field, but with average grades, will I be able to make it into a college? I’m not average in everything, I’m above average in English and History. But can I still pursue my dream job at this rate?

spike asked:

I finally found a direction I want to go with in my education and am narrowing it down between a BSM or a BSB, but I’m kind of stuck in doing research on either.

What kinds of jobs would someone with a BSM be qualified for? What kinds of jobs would someone with a Bachelor’s degree in science Business administration be qualified for?

Are there other variables I should look at while trying to narrow down exactly what I would like to pursue?

I would really like to eventually be put into a leadership position where I might be responsible with mostly employee management and some budget decisions, just regular mid level management kinds of responsibilities.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
