Hello, I would like to know about the perks and benefits of volunteering here at CareerVillage?
I understand that volunteering is more about providing emotional support and helping others. However, I’m curious if there are additional benefits. For example, can I include this experience on my resume? If so, how should I present it? And also how long I have to volunteer to get the experience?Additionally, can I earn credit or service hours from volunteering, as some colleges require those?

Credit and how it determines job acceptance
Recently, a guest speaker came into our university today to talk about the process that he took to enter a police academy. Apparently one of the major factors that contributed to him attending the police academy was his credit and how good it was. What I want to know is: Does credit play a big role in determining wether or not you will be hired by a company, or to be accepted to wok for a certain job? #jobs #credit #companies
HoustonHow are we supposed to build credit, without a credit score ?
Our responsibility as soon as we turn eighteen is to be independent and self sufficient. However, we’re never taught the right tools to know how to even get an apartment. How am I supposed to build my credit score, if no one trusts me enough to even begin? #credit #creditscore #women #teach
LancasterWhat do I need to learn how to do before moving out and living on my own?
I wasn't taught a whole lot at school about what living on your own entails, and now the time has come where I am becoming an adult and have started preparing for my future. I have yet to learn how credit works, as well as interests and loans. I dont know how to do my own taxes or what investing looks like. I want to know where I would learn these things, and what the hardest/most important aspect of living on your own is to keep in mind. #money #taxes #debt #student #student-loans #interest #credit #livingathome #independently-funding-my-education

AndersonHow does not having a #credit score effect one's significant #financial #decisions in life?
I've recently been viewing seminars by #Dave #Ramsey. He spoke of being #debt free and that having a #credit card is not necessary for #life. However, I know that some transactions request a credit score. Also, when shopping online or #traveling abroad I've always thought it was safer to have a credit card in case I'm #compromised so that I'm not losing my real money. However, being debt free is ideal and perhaps these #life events can still be accomplished #successfully without a credit score. I'd like to know what that potentially looks like.

What is credit and how do I build good credit?
Going into college you are confronted with lots of ways to pay for tuition, including loans. Typically, everyone is charged around the same interest for their loans because there tends to be little to no credit history among young individuals . I know that this may not be the case for any future loans I may take and that my credit score may be taken into account when a bank is giving out a loan. So how do I begin to build my credit and work towards earning a good score? #finance #credit-cards #credit #college #money #loans #student-loans
RevereShould I be taking more science and math classes in high school if I want to be a nurse?
I've been thinking of becoming a nurse, but I have been taking a lot more English classes than Math/Science because I do quite like English and I'm scared of taking more advanced Math/Science classes since I want to understand everything since it's such a major part of the career. So I'm just wondering if colleges/jobs will still take me seriously when I say I want to go into nursing despite having so many English credits? #pediatric-nursing #credit #high-school-classes #nursing

Is it more beneficial to take more credits per semester in a shorter amount of time or less credits per semester in a longer amount of time?
As a student trying to save money on college fees while still maintaining a great GPA for my resume, I want to know whether or not I should be taking 14 or 18 credit hours per semester. I am in the Public Health Sciences Field. I want to make the most of my college experience. #college #health #graduate #time-management #public-health #credit
