Is it sensible or feasible (or how does the outlook seem in general) to get one's first degree at 40 as a civil engineer? (Entering college at 35, graduating at 40) Would potential employers be biased against an "old" newbie, making it impossible to pay off school debt at such a late date...

There are millions of formats online for a cover letter. Some are longer and more specific. Others are short and don't provide much information (i.e., bragging points) about the writer. Some are double-spaced and others are single-spaced. Some are twelve-point and others are ten-point. Does the...

I can't stay in school forever. I graduate with my MFA (yes, I'm going for specialization), but I'm worried that after I'm specialized, I still won't be able to find a job I enjoy. #workforce #career #career-advising #finding-a-major #passion

I've gotten plenty of offers, some better than others, but i know i can't accept them all. How would i go about denying the others? #college #college-admissions #college-selection

Not only in regards of getting them. Are they available elsewhere, apart from the colleges themselves? Interest? What would be the best way of repaying them?

I have always wanted to become a writer since I was young. My parents and others have told me that a writer does not earn much, so I am planning to write at home while taking up other part-time jobs. However, I would need a lot of motivation to keep up with my dream and not be consumed by my...

This is a question that does not necessarily have a concrete answer, but it is one I constantly ponder nonetheless. My father did not go to an expensive school and regrets it, I believe, because he wonders if his college experience may have been better at a more elite school. As I try to make...

As a #computer-science major in UIC, my many assignments and study hours result in very little time for anything else, including hobbies and sleep. I was wondering whether that is going to change once I have a job, or not.
Similarly, does work give stress as college does?
