Gen Eds before 4-year?
My mother is imploring me to get my Gen Eds out of the way at the local community college, then move on to a 4-year institution. But, I truly wish to go straight to a 4-year school, despite the higher cost. Economically, I'm aware that the local school is the right way to go, but I desire to...
Does it matter what degree I get to be a product designer (BID, BDes, BA, BS, etc.)?
I'd like to pursue product design as a major in college and I can't really find any substantial information how it influences potential employers or the extremity of the differences between them. I'm interested in industrial design for consumer products (and UI/UX, but that's a different...
When it comes to selecting a candidate are there any potential warning signs that signal they might not be a good fit?
My instructor did a role-play with another instructor on how to conduct an interview. The class ran out of time, we weren't able to go over the warning signs. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with a "bad" interviewee. #human-resources #talent-recruiting #talent-acquisition
Which schools have the best programs for transfer students?
I will be graduating this May with an associate's degree. I'm looking for schools that have human resources or business administration programs that will accept all or most of my 70 credits. I've been looking around at the colleges in my area. I'm asking for a second opinion. #college...
How often is Microsoft Access used in Human Resources or other similar job functions?
A year ago I learned how to use Microsoft Access in my computer software class. I'm wondering how often if at all is it used? If it isn't used what are software programs that we should be focusing on using instead. Are there any specific software programs that are used in Human Resources that...
What is the HRIS software program?
I am asking because I'm currently in school for an associate's degree in Human Resources. I have not come across this software program at all during my schooling. I'm wondering what it is, the functions of the software program, and are there any classes to take in order to use the program? I've...
What is the best path for a student of information technology or related field that wishes to start a career in Information Security?
I am graduating soon, and want to work in Information Security. What certifications, if any, are required/appropriate? Should I get programming work experience before attempting to move into Information Security? Is there any other advice that you can give that might help me break into the...
Will a TI-84 or similar graphing calculator ever come in handy in software development, or will I only ever need it for school?
I'm curious whether it would make more sense to sell my TI-84 when I'm done with the math classes for my degree, or to hold onto it. #computer-science #computer-software #software-engineering #computer-programming #software-development #software-design
Should I list work experience from before college that doesn't apply to my chosen career field when applying for my first job in my chosen field?
I have years of experience in assorted fields before I went to college. I am graduating soon, and want to get a job in programming. I have no technology field experience outside of coursework. Should I list my other experience on my resume, or just start fresh with college? #programming...
What are good ways for a recent graduate to make up for lack of experience when trying to get their first job in computer programming?
I will be graduating soon, and due to personal circumstances and the local economy, I've been unable to get an internship. I worry that this will prevent me from getting a good job when I graduate. How can I make up for this lack of experience on my resume? #computer-software #software...

What is the difference between computer science and engineering in computer science?
I know I love computer science, but on many applications, it lists both of these as majors, with the distinction of computer science being in their arts school, and the latter in their engineering school #science #technology #stem
How demanding is a job as a forensic investigator?
Currently, I am weighing my options for the future- I'm planning to go to UW Platteville to pursue a career in forensic investigation this fall. However, I realise that job openings for this career are slim, and taking that into consideration, I am unsure of the workload that I may face. #forensic
Where do forensic scientists work?
I know that many forensic scientists work in laboratories and even police stations, but who hires them? Where would I go to to apply after I graduate from college? Is it through the government? Or are there private companies that can help with private parties? #science #biology #chemistry...
How much room is there for me to grow?
I really enjoy team management too, so I was wondering if I would be able to be promoted or move up after so many years of experience. I would also need to know if a lot of team work goes on in the laboratory. #science #biology #management #chemistry #laboratory #team-leadership #teamwork...
