At my age (55) would it be to my advantage to continue pursuing my Masters in HRM?
I have a fear of my age may deny me some opportunities in my new degree field and was wondering if I do go for my masters would it benefit me more at my age. #human-resources

Being 55 when I graduate with my Bachelors in Human Resource Management what is the likelihood of getting hired within a reasonable time frame?
I am an adult learner and am a little older than most in switching careers. I am a Navy Veteran and served my country for 12 years and finally decided to pursue a degree where I can help people. #college #business #career #career-counseling #human-resources

How much training do you need to be a graphic designer?
My instructor told us that we don't get certification in our program because "you can't certify talent." That being said, how do I know when my skills are adequate? What kind of training is most important for a graphic designer- knowledge in the software, artistic skill, or raw creativity?...

Is it better to work from home or from a workplace
Is it better for a graphic designer specifically to work freelancing from home or AT a business, for a business? What are the pros and cons to both? I know this is the career field I want to enter, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is. Thanks! #design #graphics

Is it worth going to graduate school for art? Would it help me get a better job in that field
I plan on majoring in art in college but I am not really sure what I will be able to use it for after college. So, I would think that going to an even higher level of education for it would be futile, but then again it might help. #phd

Do most student loans have to start being paid when you are still in college?
College is expensive and I am wondering if I should take out student loans or not. If I have to start paying it off right away and not after college, then I do not want to get them because I do not have a lot of money as of now. #college
