How can I get my foot in the door?
This upcoming semester, I am fortunate to have a smaller course load than I've ever had. To compensate for the new, bigger blocks of free time, I feel that I should acquire a side job, other than the one I have at home. Getting a job at a child care center that is nearby would be preferable,...
After receiving my double bachelor's degree, how can I stand out when applying for teaching positions?
I plan to major in Human Development and Family Science through North Dakota State University, as well as Elementary Education through Valley City State University. I have also considered possibly minoring in Special Education, would this be wise? #elementary-education
What do I need to do to be certified to teach kindergarten?
Receiving a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education certifies an individual to teach Grades 1-6, and "with additional course work and an additional student teaching experience, be certified to teach kindergarten as well". What "additional courses" will I need to take? Does this just mean...
How do I find people who want to hire me to play music?

I was in a situation where someone was expecting me to pay them when I knew they weren't getting paid all along and I thought they knew too. We did not part as friends. How do I prevent more situations like this from happening where there is such a disconnect and misunderstanding? #music
I know getting into medical school is very competitive; generally is it better to go to a "lesser" undergraduate school and excel or is is better to go to a prestigious school and wind up in the middle of the pack?
It's a difficult decision to make, especially when you factor in cost, and scholarship availability in the more competitive schools. I have been going back and forth about trying to get into a more prestigious school for my undergraduate degree, realizing that I'll also have continuing costs...
Is it better to go to grad school at a different university than your undergrad?
I've heard people say this and I'm just curious if it was true or not. #career #career-path #graduate-school
Will I be at a disadvantage if I pursue a masters-level entry into nursing program instead of getting a BSN first?
I am going to Harvard in the fall to study, and they don't have a nursing program, but if I decided to pursue that career, I was wondering if it would work if I just did a direct entry program at Johns Hopkins or something or if it would be better to just go to PA school. #nursing #medicine...
