Going the Extra Mile for Sat PreparationRegardless of how accurately or inaccurately the SAT’s assess and grade a students knowledge level in relation to collegiate studies, they are certainly here to stay. Yes, the very fact that many students often cram for a test which is supposed to establish their existing knowledge base is somewhat counterintuitive to the purpose, but in reality, even that makes sense. Why you Should Sacrifice to Attend CollegeAttending college is a given for many young students, especially those who will benefit from their parents hard work in the form of tuition, books and quite often, housing. For some high school graduates, however, the financial support system ends at their 18th birthday. For these young adults, the decision to attend college has little to do with desire and everything to do with their ability to pay for it. Master’s Degree a Solid InvestmentGetting an education is always a wise choice, especially if you want to compete in today’s educationally obsessed job market. Where a bachelor degree once held a graduate in high esteem, it has quickly become the minimum entry level requirement for positions with most employers. As of late, a postgraduate education is the new guarantee for some level of separation between an individual and their competition in the job market. Add a little job experience to the mix and a person’s chances for garnering the best employment opportunities they are eligible for in their field increase even more. Does Online College Stack Up to the Traditional Collegiate Model?Distance learning is becoming more mainstream thanks in large part to the traditionally brick and mortar colleges who have embraced the possibilities it offers. Even some Ivy League institutions now offer the opportunity to take some portion of a degree program’s curriculum online. Interactive multimedia materials and better access to faculty in years past combined with a highly computer literate population have made online learning popular with students from all walks of life. The Increasing Popularity of Trade SchoolsTrade schools have seen a rise in enrollment over the last five years and their increasing popularity with high school graduates shows no signs of slowing down. From welding and metalworking to electronics and aviation, more students are opting to skip the college experience in favor of entering the workforce earlier with a trade. But what makes trade schools so suddenly popular? Last Minute Guide to Acing Final ExamsAs the fall semester draws to a close, many college students are faced with increasing anxiety over final exams, or rather whether or not their performance during those exams will elevate their grade to the desired level. While there’s no substitution for semester long studying and academic preparedness, there are a few things students can do besides cramming to put their most knowledgeable face forward. To Thesis or not to Thesis, and How to Handle the QuestionsWhile not all students contemplating a master’s degree have the option, many now have the choice of whether to enroll in a program that requires a thesis, a program that requires a project or a program that simply requires additional coursework. For most students, one option is as painstaking yet palatable as another. For others, however, the thought of producing anything attached to the word “thesis” is reason enough to consider forgetting postgraduate studies entirely. Two Steps for Reducing the Cost of an Associate DegreeA few thousand dollars might seem like a lot of money to some high school graduates, and it is for many from typical American households with median incomes or below. In the grand scheme of college tuition, however, it’s not enough to cover one full semester at most state universities, much less complete the first two years of college with. Society and the Teacher/student Love EpidemicIt began to seep into the national conscious with the tawdry tale of Mary Kay Laterneau and her then teenaged lover Vili Fualaau. Most recently, middle school teacher Kelsey Peterson took a young student across state lines and into Mexico so that she could enjoy a sexual liaison with the boy away from the prying eyes of small town residents in the community they both lived. Rise in Health Care Clinics Opens Up Administrative Employment OpportunitiesThe number of hospitals in the US has remained relatively stagnant over the last decade, while smaller private practice and physician partnership clinics are on the rise. Though most clinics only offer outpatient based services, their prevalence and growth rate have resulted in an increase in the number of employment possibilities for health care administrators.
