I'm debating on academic programs because I'm idealistic and want to change the world, could someone help?
Q. I'm debating between a Masters of Social Work, M.A. Nonprofit Management and M.A. Counseling. I'm thinking the Nonprofit Management is more my area cause I'm not a good foot soldier in the battle to help and I think I'd be better at it, but there isn't many jobs in that field. I don't know what to do.

A. All of these programs lack credibility, and they mostly lead to low-paid, ineffective, dead-end jobs. If you really want to "change the world" in an effective way, study a serious subject such as Engineering or Economics.

Why should high schools in financial trouble take away athletic programs to fund academic programs?

A. The purpose of schools is to educate children. If money is needed for educational supplies or teachers, then the sports programs that aren't self supporting should be eliminated.It is up to the parents and fans of the sport involved to take enough interest to keep it going. The school isn't required to support sports teams, only provide an education.

In applying to an academic program, is it a problem if my letters of rec are from profs outside of my area?
Q. I am applying to an academic program. My letters of recommendation are from academic professors, but they are outside of my major/focus. For example, I am studying Health Policy and Administration and the letters of recommendation are from a Philosophy professor and a Demography professor. Both applicable to the industry, but not directly in the HPA department. Should i really have a HPA recommendation or should I be okay?

A. Over the summer I went to this program called CTD (Center of Talent Development) at Northwestern University. It costs a bit of money...but seriously, it's soo much fun. What happens is you take an honors/adv/AP class in just THREE weeks. It's summer school...but so much more fun. You meet new people and they legit become your best friends. I still talk to my friends to this day and I actually just went to Disneyland with one! You also get weekends and stuff to go to the beach, Six Flags, etc. And it gives you a great look around Northwestern and what college living is like.

Q. I'm really wanting to move to Japan in the next two to three years. I want to find some sort of program that would help allow me to live there. I don't want to get a degree to do so (personal reasons, don't judge) and I do not want to enlist in the military. Any ideas/suggestions?

A. If you don't have a degree it is really hard to come here and live because most residency visas require at least a bachelor's degree or some other kind of specialized training. I HAVE heard of an ocean lifegaurd exchange program based out of Australia, but I don't know any details about it. You might contact the Japanese Embassy or a local Japanese Consulate in your area. They might be able to point you in the right direction if there are any programs around that would be right for you.

A. contact your city counsel member or mayor if your town is small and ask why your tax money for schools is not paying for this. Then explain that you will need to got to the newspapers for a better explanation if they give you the run around. Extortion is illegal even for the school dept and local government.

A. It's never too early to look for programs. I'd suggest any type of leadership enrichment programs. Colleges not only look for participation in special programs but also participation as leaders. As far as academic programs, choose something that will make you look like a well-rounded, intelligent person.

A. Pension fund managers are typically CFAs (Certified Financial Analysts). (You take a series of highly technical exams to get this credential) Or a least CPAs. The people who determine the liabilites are actuaries who take a different series of exams. Go to www.soa.org to see what an actuary does.

Academic rewards programs?
Q. Hello everyone. I am trying to think of some good ideas for academic rewards programs for my school. To clarify, this is when students recieve say a 3.8 GPA or better, they get something at the end of the quarter or semester for continually holding that GPA. What we use to do is if you recieved an A in a class for two semesters, you were excluded from taking semester finals. The board of directors don't want that anymore, so hence lies my problem. I need to come up with some ideas on how to rewards the efforts of these students. Anyone got any ideas? I don't care how dumb they are, please help!

A. Recognition is always good. A large showing of individuals who have made the honor roll or such. I wouldn't concern myself with that much, however. Excellence should be it's own reward. Oh, there's also the option of honor study hall. Those individuals who have made the honor roll (If this is a high school) don't have to go to the regular study hall room. They can take study hall in the student lounge, or wherever.

I have asked most colleges I've visited, and next year when I am taking all APs and she is still taking all IB the difficulty will be the same.

A. 1. Semester is like six months, academic year is an academic year. 2. Go to your counselor and talk to them, they should handle the transferring of credits, etc. You should be doing the year following the one you did in whichever country. 3. Cheapest you should be able is a couple thousand bucks for a semester. A year is usually $10,000 or more. Depends on the program. 4. The thing is you are way, way too young to right now to do a program like this. The youngest you have to be is 15-16 for most programs, and no offense, most seventh graders aren't mature enough to do something like this. I'm waiting until my junior year to do it.
