Career Planning Process Knowledge Base
Career planning -> The thought process? I'm a senior in high school, I have a few ideas on what "general" area I am interested in pursuing a career in, but I don't really know where/how to determine which career/job interests me most. Is it important to know what I want to do before going into college? How would I be able to find out what I might want to do with my life while I am in college?
What is the enrollment process for American Career College? I am planning on starting a course at American Career college.

Has anyone attended this school before? If so, how is the enrollment process; and what is the interview like?

What viable career options are available for a truck driver with 3 years experience, and a business degree? I also have more than 23 years as an accountant/corporate finance manager. I have experience in budgeting, business modeling/planning, variance analysis, process improvement, project management, team building and many other corporate and business related functions. I have a goal to start my own logistics related company, but I need more industry specific experience. I've tried driving the big trucks to get connected to some shippers and to familiarize myself with the shipping culture. I have also certified as a transportation broker, but don't have any experience in this area yet. I'm trying to decide what kind of work/job would provide the most education and training that would be the most beneficial toward my goal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Eddy
How Do I make my dad understand I want a career not just a job? How Do I make my dad understand I want a career not just a job? I am 24 years old. I have been doing seasonal work in Mallorca since I was 18. I was planning to go to Main Land Spain this Summer as I did not want to return to Mallorca. However my plans fell through. I have usually returned to a job in the winter after my stint in Mallorca. However this winter. I could not get my job back due to management changes and issues beyond my control so I signed on. As i was planning to go to Spain I worked a Part Time job in a cafe for 10 hours a week or so until the boss started to mess about and the hours and cr@p she dished out were not worth while. When my plans of going to Spain did not work out I thought i would go spend the Summer in Skegness (I live in Bradford) with a friend. She was part way through moving house and things were going slow so I knocked that on the head. Now I want a career not just a job. I want to get into Youth Work but it is a slow process how do I get my dad to understand. I don't feel I am wrong at wanting a good future. while i was in Mallorca i achived all i could and i am happy with my choices. yes it would have been nice to settle in mallorca have a nice little job and family and that but i have always wanted more. The way my mum talk it is like my dad will throw me out as i can not be a sucessful as him or my mum or brother. Luck has a part is sucess and in time i will fall lucky i know Rome was not built in a day. I am sick of the tears of frustration I cry almost every day and the pain i feel when things are not sucessful but i have to keep going. I have GCSE's ranging from A-F City and Guilds Numeracy I know how to use a pc and the internet, I did BETC Leisure and Tourism Animation Option that is hotel entertainment and I have gone as far as i wanted to in Entertainment, I also did BTEC Overseas Operations which trained you to be a childrens rep I did as much as i could cope in that job. Now when I left school I have no idea what I wanted to do career wise but i did not want to waste my life on dead end jobs so I did what i wanted to while i was young and gained work and life experience. Now I know what i want to do and it is youth work or something in residential Units ( Children's homes) I want a career that is challenging and rewarding and i am willing to study again and volunteer but its hard to find the information as a lot comes from 3rd parties and criminal record checks take a while and the job centre are slow. My dad thinks i am lazy and sit on my backside. It is tearing my mum to pieces as dad is on her back My mum is stuck in the middle as she knows what i want to do but my dad is not willing to understand and it is not easy living at home. At time I help with the cleaning but in everybody else eyes this is my destiny when i get married to be a mother and a wife and do the house work and have a job and i kind of resent doing that now but i do. i always believed parents were meant to support you in you descisions and my mum does but she is again Piggy in the middle between me and my dad. I feel like that baddy for wanting to provide a better future ffor myself while i still can but my dad thinks i should get a job any job. He does not see todays world Im in a catch 22 with recruitment agencies if i have experience they want qualifications and visa versa. I decided to go to mallorca to work and learn the language which i have done. I am now home and I have always when able to paid my own way as much as I can i have learnt to budget and be good with my money to avoid problems in my future

Life is so challenging !!! Why couples decide to bring another new life through pleasure sexual intercourse? Life is full of challenges..be it career challenge or relationship challenge or general happiness. I wonder how do couples start the family planning process. What i think for a guy it is just a random process- he is doing sex and getting pleasure and after few days he get the news that he will become dad !! For girl well she is happy that she will be mother. Are all pregnancies unwanted/unplanned? A random process of sexual intercourse getting pleasure?
What exactly is the process for emancipation in the state of Georgia? I'm 17. I'm going to be 18 in 6 months. I know I should just wait and until then but I'm in a very unhealthy environment. My mom has been physically and mentally abusing me my whole life. She doesn't do it a lot, only when I make her angry and do something wrong, but nonetheless I know what she does isn't right. It is emotionally draining for me, I'm depressed and rarely happy, I feel threatened in my own home and scared. She tries to control everything and just won't let me live a normal, healthy life. I need to get out of this situation. I have to do this for myself, for my happiness and my health. I've always known that I have to, and now that I'm almost an adult I have to take action. I need help though! I don't have a job, but I do go to school and I plan on going to college and actually having a successful career. But I need to get out of here first. I know I can become emancipated but I need to know how in Georgia. Please give me all the help and details you can... Thanks.
What actual degrees are recommended for a career in screenwriting or writing for television, in general? This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I'm currently in the midst of a major change in university and I'm unsure of really what programs I really want to be in to best hone what I think I'm best at. My previous major before the reconsideration was Film/Video with an emphasis on Animation, focusing more on the actual animatic process. This was chosen because my goal previously was, and remains to work my way to a position where I can viably pitch and write an animated series. Before I say anything else, I'd like to mention that you don't have to tell me how hard it would. Everyone else in the world has already. Over the past year my priorities have shifted more into writing over art, with my current plan involving attempting to break into the industry via writing for other shows before trying to pitch. I've considered switching to an English major with a creative writing emphasis. I just don't know what the people that hire actually look for in a writer. I should have specified a few things a bit further, althoug I don't know whether it will make a difference; the writing for television means more of the writing fiction and scripts and such for fiction programs in contrast to newswork or nonfiction writing; while I have done that sort of writing previously, I'd like to think that I'm better at creative fiction writing, without sounding too condescending...
I want to become an events/party planner. Does anyone know how I would begin my own business in this field? I am in the process of planning my own wedding and I am having a fantastic time doing so. I have always enjoyed planning things: group vacations for my friends and I, road trips, etc... I could be described as a slight control freak and I am a perfectionist. I know I would exceed, and enjoy my career, if I were to make this a possibility. How do I do it? How do I get my name out there? How much do event planners charge for their services? I have a lot of questions, and hope that people who are self employed would be able to give me some pointers on getting my business up and running. Thank You in advance for your time and help.

What are your Recommendations on Engineering Career Path? I just finished my 3rd year @ the University of Florida. I need 6 classes to finish my Mechanical Degree and 1 more 4 my Biomechanics Minor. I have not had an internship, research or co-op experience yet &have interviewed &sought after these for two years with negative responses. My friends say persistence is key.

I like organizing processes the & human output efficiency interests me.I like Controls (with the bode plots and such).These appear to be industrial engineering qualities. Should I apply for PhD Programs and fellowships in ergonomics?Find any job that will take me &/or get my teaching certification & wait till I have more money for gradschool? Should I apply the armed force’s NUPOC lucrative program ?Am I missing something here in my evaluation.I am .184 gpt away from a 3.0 and plan to take the FE next spring and the GRE this fall. Thank you all your responses have been thought provoking and insightful, may they prove to be helpful as I continue to persue some work experience before I graduate.

Anthropology career? Hi there. I am really interested in an anthropology career. I'm just wondering if anyone can clarify the different subtypes of anthropology. I am mainly interested in studying race: how races diverged and developed into different races AND how environmental factors, migratory factors and other factors influenced this. What is this called? Is this even a type of anthropology? Any help would be appreciated; I'm checking out colleges and it would help in the process! Oh, just for kicks, I'm also planning to major in theater. Just thought you'd want to know, lol.
How does one go about getting a job in a foreign country? I'm going to take a year off after I get my undergraduate degree and I really want to move to Italy and learn Italian. What process should I follow in order to get a job there? Is teaching English my best bet? I really just want something to pay the rent, food and shoe bills, not a career or anything, as I'm planning on going to medical school when I return to the states. Also, I need a visa, correct? Or is it something else that I'd need?
Where do people get the idea that photo chemicals are hazardous materials? I often see responses on here indicating that there is something highly dangerous or corrosive about photo chemicals which means that they shouldn't be handled in the house. Besides being a hobbyist photographer who has his own darkroom, I'm also currently working toward a bachelor of science degree in Chemistry, and planning to pursue a career as a chemist. As such, I'm done a fair amount of research on the chemical processes that are going on, as well as just what exactly is in the chemicals. There are a few highly toxic developing agents, such as Pyro formulas, which few use anyway. Normal developers, such as D76, are actually quite safe to handle. In fact, hydroquinone, one of the developing agents in D76, is used in some medicines. D76 also contains borax, available as a cleaner, and sodium sulfite, used as a preservative. The only other thing is metol, which is non toxic, although it does cause an allergic reaction in some people. Where do people get all of these ideas Traditional “hypo” fixers contained sodium thiosulfate, which is a common additive to table salt. Yes, used fixer does contain dissolved silver. All heavy metals are dangerous with ingestion, but not just with normal skin contact. Silver can also cause problems with septic tanks and sewage systems, although with most home darkroom users (a few rolls a week, at most), Kodak says that it’s okay to dump fixer down the drain. I personally play it safe and remove the silver. Many people just toss some steel wool into a bucket with their spent fixer and let a silver sludge precipitate out, making a solution which is 100% safe to pour down the drain in any quantity. I personally use hydrochloric acid to precipitate out silver chloride, which I then filter out. The remaining solution can be poured down the drain, and the solid silver chloride can be landfilled. Stop bath contains a very dilute solution of acetic acid, which is commonly known as vinegar. The acetic acid concentration in a typical stop bath is even lower than that of distilled white vinegar, though. Fair points from both of you all. There are very few chemicals which are good for your eyes. It's for that reason that I make it a point to wear eye protection when handling most any chemicals, whether working in the lab, cleaning the bathroom, or working in the darkroom. For the darkroom and cleaning the bathroom, prescription glasses are generally sufficient protection, and the protection I employ, as they prevent anything potentially dangerous from splashing into your eyes. I suggest the same precaution to everyone, as your eyes are particularly delicate. When working in the lab, I always wear at a minimum polycarbonate safety glasses with side shields, or, depending on the circumstances, full protection visor-type goggles or even a full face shield. I suppose that the point I failed to explicitly make in all my rambling was the notion I often see regurgitated here that photo chemicals require some sort of special HAZMAT disposal. Anyway, thanks for the responses so far. Fhotoace, One of my favorite developers is the Sprint developer, which is sold concentrated and diluted 1:9 before use. For each 35mm roll, I use about .8 ounces of developer concentrate. For a few rolls a week, that amount is so incredibly insignificant compared to the rest of the water that goes down the drain at my house in the course of a week that it's not even worth considering. If I were to take 500+ gallons of fresh tap water(typical weekly home water usage in the US) and mix in 3 ounces of developer concentrate, the water would still be perfectly safe to drink, since the concentration would be so low it wouldn't be an issue. Stop bath is nothing more than diluted vinegar. Again, completely safe and harmless to the environment. After silver recovery in the manner I have describe(treating with hydrochloric acid), fixer is nothing more than saltwater. Again, completely hazardous to the environment.
Which job should I choose while I make a career change? I'm in the process of changing careers from city planner to holistic health care and I plan on starting with massage therapy. I'm making this change because my personality type just does not work well in a business office environment. After taking a few personality/career assessment tests I've determined that I should be in a career where I can work one-on-one with people who need physical and/or physical care. I still need to make money while I transition. However, I'm staying with my mom while I go back to school so I don't have to pay many bills. My job options are 1) Do some short-term/high-paying work for FEMA where I could save money before going back to school full-time and then get a part-time job, while I'm in school, doing something related to my interests. Or 2) work for the Fed government full-time while going to school full-time at night. Which, sounds terrible to me but then again I'd have steady pay and good benefits (but when would I sleep or study?).

my maid of honor is ruining my wedding process? My cousin is my maid of honor. I absolutely love her and just knew she would be perfect for the job. I mean she even plans wedding as her career! she is in charge of my reception and rehearsal bc we are having it where she works. She has blown me off so many times since I have been engaged. She is even blowing off my fiance's parents. We have five more months to go and my mom and dad have sat down with her boss to address our concerns and the boss seems to think there is a jealousy factor in this. This truly hurts my feelings to know that she would sabotage my happiness over something so petty. Everytime I ask her to meet with me (such as this past sat) she says no. we live two hours away so our time is precious when we come into town. Turns out she was at a horse chase! what should I do? I do want to say that I showed up on a monday and waited for her to finish with a client for an hour. When she was done we went to lunch and she kept avoiding talking about the wedding by talking about other things that have been going on in her life. I do expect her to have a life! Its just when she puts me on the backburner, she is not only pushing us further away but she is not honoring her job duties for her job in which my parents helped her get. Its a country club not some random wedding planning job. Let me clear up again, she is the director for the receptions/ parties/etc at the place we are having it. She is getting paid very well and really I have done everything i can to give her chances to meet with me.
Can anyone explain this detail by detail? Gong and Dragga demonstrate the importance of recognizing your own writing style and the reasons for sometimes adapting a different style to suit your purpose, the audience, and the situation. In an essay of about 400 words, explain how you would adapt for a general audience a piece of technical or specialized writing (from an academic subject, professional field, or special interest publication). Discuss specifically how you would determine choices of vocabulary, sentence length, and sentence structure in making this adaptation.

How does one become an American citizen? What are the prerequisites for American citizenship? I'm a high school student in Canada who plans on attending university in America, and on pursuing a career there. My father may move to the States for work. Would that affect the process? What would the process and waiting time be, in the first place? And what are the disadvantages of living in America without a citizenship? Thanks in advance. :)
Already have a degree and want to sit for MA CPA exam. Can I take random courses to finish 150 credit hours? Hello, I'm in the process of studying for the CPA exam and plan on taking it in Massachusetts. I know the requirements are 150 credit hours. I already have an undergraduate degree in Accounting and 132 credit hours under my belt. My problem is that I don't want to enroll in any MBA programs because I plan on doing that in the distant future full time once I am POSITIVE with my career choice. I need to make up the remaining 18 credit hours, but I want to know if it's possible to just take random courses at a community college to make up for it? It would be cheap and convenient for me. Would I have to apply even if I were only taking a night class here and there? Also, how would I go about proving the 150 credit hours? Would the CC that I take courses from give me a transcript showing just those 18 credit hours? Would that backup and my undergrad degree showing 132 credit hours be sufficient? Any recommendations on schools where I can take a few courses in the Boston area?

Working as an illegal in Spain...would a deportation show up during a background check? A friend's daughter and her boyfriend..both early 20's..are planning to go to Spain and then find work. From researching the process and talking to them, it is pretty clear they will be working illegally as they will not have the appropriate work visas or resident permits. I have read that currently Spain is cracking down more on illegal workers, fining them and deporting them. The two kids feel this is not a huge issue..worth the risk for a year in Spain. However, both are going into careers that will involve in depth criminal records checks when being hired. My question is, would a deportation (if done formally..not just go home or else sort of thing) show up on their records? Thanks...

At your employer (company) is there a system of due process (progressive discipline) for problem employees? I have spent most of my career at small companies. At these companies if a person does not fit in or makes mistakes, no matter how small, the result is usually termination of employment. Many people are not getting much warning, they are just cut loose. I understand that at larger companies it is really hard to fire someone unless they really did something wrong. They have a formal process before someone is fired. Oral Warning, Written Warning, Performance Improvement Plan, Final Written Warning, and then if they are still a problem, they can be fired if the senior manager of HR approves. What is it like in your company? What is a better system? I suspect managers like a quick fast termination. But employees notice these things and if a fellow worker who is highly regarded by staff is fired without due process, then they start to get nervous that this will happen to them and they will start sending out resumes. But on the other hand people do not like working around dead wood who can not be fired without so much effort that most managers just ignore the problem employee and try to work around them.

I m planning 2 make a career transition frm loan processing to Wealth Management. How good are the prospects ? I have been working as a loan processor for 3 years now before which I was in Accounting and Auditing field. Now I realize I have made a mistake by switching to loan management as I dont see any growth in this field. Here are my concers. 1. I am doing a certification course in Private Banking which costs a lot.Is this necessary to enter WM industry ? I chose this option because all the WM job advts ask for experienced guys in WM? 2. I live in Singapore and I am Indian. This is my major concern.As most of the people here are chinese, I am worried if I would be able to make it big since I dont speak their language and if I would be able to win over their trust ? Could someone really professional and experienced answer my questions ? Thanks

How Do I make my dad understand I want a career not just a job? I am 24 years old. I have been doing seasonal work in Mallorca since I was 18. I was planning to go to Main Land Spain this Summer as I did not want to return to Mallorca. However my plans fell through. I have usually returned to a job in the winter after my stint in Mallorca. However this winter. I could not get my job back due to management changes and issues beyond my control so I signed on. As i was planning to go to Spain I worked a Part Time job in a cafe for 10 hours a week or so until the boss started to mess about and the hours and cr@p she dished out were not worth while. When my plans of going to Spain did not work out I thought i would go spend the Summer in Skegness (I live in Bradford) with a friend. She was part way through moving house and things were going slow so I knocked that on the head. Now I want a career not just a job. I want to get into Youth Work but it is a slow process how do I get my dad to understand. I don't feel I am wrong at wanting a good future. I have GCSE's ranging from A-F City and Guilds Numeracy I know how to use a pc and the internet, I did BETC Leisure and Tourism Animation Option that is hotel entertainment and I have gone as far as i wanted to in Entertainment, I also did BTEC Overseas Operations which trained you to be a childrens rep I did as much as i could cope in that job. Now when I left school I have no idea what I wanted to do career wise but i did not want to waste my life on dead end jobs so I did what i wanted to while i was young and gained work and life experience. Now I know what i want to do and it is youth work or something in residential Units ( Children's homes) I want a career that is challenging and rewarding and i am willing to study again and volunteer but its hard to find the information as a lot comes from 3rd parties and criminal record checks take a while and the job centre are slow. My dad thinks i am lazy and sit on my backside. It is tearing my mum to pieces as dad is on her back My mum is stuck in the middle as she knows what i want to do but my dad is not willing to understand and it is not easy living at home. At time I help with the cleaning but in everybody else eyes this is my destiny when i get married to be a mother and a wife and do the house work and have a job and i kind of resent doing that now but i do. i always believed parents were meant to support you in you descisions and my mum does but she is again Piggy in the middle between me and my dad. I feel like that baddy for wanting to provide a better future ffor myself while i still can but my dad thinks i should get a job any job. He does not see todays world Im in a catch 22 with recruitment agencies if i have experience they want qualifications and visa versa. while i was in Mallorca i achived all i could and i am happy with my choices. yes it would have been nice to settle in mallorca have a nice little job and family and that but i have always wanted more. The way my mum talk it is like my dad will throw me out as i can not be a sucessful as him or my mum or brother. Luck has a part is sucess and in time i will fall lucky i know Rome was not built in a day. I am sick of the tears of frustration I cry almost every day and the pain i feel when things are not sucessful but i have to keep going.

Do you think a woman should change her name after marriage? I am currently in the process of planning my wedding and then, bam!, the question arose, "Should I keep my name?" My last name is very unique and many people in my community refer to me by that name. Eventually, I want to go into politics and I am not sure if it would be a plus to keep it or not. I have always been a progressive thinker and ever since I was little I have vowed to keep my surname. But there are external factors, other than my personal needs, that come into play when deciphering whether or not I should change my name. First, I was raised in the South by traditional parents and so was my Fiancé. Secondly, there is a long-standing tradition in this country that negates my wants. In addition, my fiancé’s feelings are on the line. Questions: What would you do? How will he feel? How do I approach the topic? How will this affect my political career? Please include a brief background and where you are from.
How can I use the liking of amendments that pertain to criminal court as a career without being a lawyer? Im a Criminal Justice major and I took an American Court Systems class and really liked the amendments that pertained to criminal law in the court process. The only thing is I really dont want to be a lawyer, so what other highly respected, fairly to well paying careers are out there that I would be able to consider. I just love the whole criminal aspect of the criminal justice field. i.e. going after the criminal, investigating the criminal etc..... but what i am really looking for is other ideas and choices than being a police officer or investigator/detective. To add: I am 23 and this will be my first degree.... I graduate in December '08 with a B.S. in Criminal Justice and a minor in Political Science. I plan on getting my masters in Public Administration

From Engineer to Financial Analyst? I have six years of experience as an engineer. (BS in engineering) As I wanted to change my career from engineer to financial guy, I obtained an MBA degree, finance as concentration. My first job after MBA was not in the financial industry, but a little close. I have worked as an administrator at a research institution. My responsibilities include R&D budget planning, R&D accounting, profit estimation, project controller, R&D strategy establishing, process improvement (Six Sigma), Business plan development, project evaluation, etc. Because of my personal reasons, I am going to move to the US from Japan and look for a job. I wonder what kind of job positions can be aligned with my background. Because I have experience in accounting, a MBA degree in finance, am quite good at numbers and excel spreadsheet, and have analytical skills, I am targeting the financial analyst position. Any advice?

Should I apply the armed force’s NUPOC lucrative program ?Am I missing something here in my evaluation.I am .184 gpt away from a 3.0 and plan to take the FE next spring and the GRE this fall.
What kind of income do I need to earn to afford this lifestyle? I'm currently in college and have recently been engaged in the process of planning my future lifestyle, as well as the level of income necessary to enable such a lifestyle. These are the items I would like to own: - Three cars: a Porsche Carrera, a Lamborghini (older, used model, of course) and a luxurious "daily driver," such as a Cadillac XLR - A $500,000-$600,000 home - Designer clothing (Versace, Armani, etc.) - Regular dining schedules at 4-star restaurants I realize that these are financially grueling luxuries that can only be afforded with the income earned by a job paying at least six-figures. However, my question is, what is an optimal income which will comfortably maintain the above aspects of my desired lifestyle? Currently, I plan to apply to medical or dental school, but I am interested in considering other opportunities, as these paths will take many years to complete. Are there any financial, etc. careers that don't require connections, etc.? So I'd need to make 7 figures just to afford a $500,000 house and the three cars I mentioned? When I wrote that I wanted a Lamborghini, I meant an older, used model -- such as a 1993 model for $80,000. I would also purchase a used Cadillac XLR, and, of course, I would purchase a used Carrera. I see so many people living in $500,000 (or more expensive) homes and driving two or three Mercedes, BMWs, etc. What are they doing that is so special? They don't strike me as "rich people," but they're doing something right. Hermoder -- Thanks a lot; that's the kind of answer I'm looking for. $300k is exactly the kind of money I could be looking to make as a doctor, especially if I become an anesthesiologist or radiologist. Dr. K -- You say to become a currency broker (or some other highly sought-after financial career), but do you realize that very few people actually break into the $250k+ level of income? Whereas, if I go to medical school and match into a competitive residency (such as anes. or rad.), I will be essentially guaranteed to make $250k/year or more. I think I'll go with the "guaranteed" path.
Can you enter Thailand many times without having to renew your visa? I’m holding a Singaporean passport, but currently working in the EU. I’m taking a career break and plan to stay in Thailand as a tourist for a while. I heard that every foreign tourist, entering Thailand, will have their passport stamped with a 30-day entrance visa. After that, if they want to stay, the foreigners often make runs to Cambodia or Malaysia to renew their visas. Do you know if this process also applies to Singapore citizens and others in the Asean? Can we enter Thailand many times, each less than 30 days, without having to renew our visas at a Thai consulate or an agent? My sincere thanks,
What are your thoughts on a financial advisor? 2) What's your opinion of the role that financial services companies play in helping people plan for their future. 3) Do you have a financial security program (investment,retirement,insurance,disability & health)? If so, why did you set up your program? 4) Do you have a financial advisor? If so, what role does he/she play in your financial security planning? 5) I would like to extend this survey to several people unknown to me. Would you help by referring me to a few people to whom I might ask these same questions? I am starting a new career and part of my hiring process is getting these questions answered by as many people as possible. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

A Phd or a Masters? Health Psychology Emphasis? I'm going to get a Health psychology degree, but don't know whether or not to get the Masters, or the Phd. I know the Phd is heavy in research, and I don't like research, nor do I have plans to make a career out of it. I would actually like to counsel people in health related issues (hence the health psych emphasis). I know I can never be legalled called a 'psychologist' in California unless I have a Phd (and a license). But I want to work in hospitals and different health related areas to work with people. Any suggestions? REALLY HELPFUL if you've gone through this process yourself!! I'm applying to grad schools soon!
Which degree is best if I choose to become a Teacher? I am currently a Business Consultant for a restaurant chain. I am doing a Fresh Start at a local community college in Jan. and then transferring to a University (UTK) to finish my degree. I have always been a natural at math so I plan to go back for Statistics. For some reason, I keep going back to wanting to be a teacher and have had this feeling for many years. I was hoping that some of you could cold give me some advice. Is Statistics a good choice to become a teacher? Would just a math degree be better? I know there are many many job options with both degrees but I really want the best degree that will allow me to teach if I keep feel as if I am being draw to the career. Any help on the process that I can expect or lean to would be greatly appreciated. I also dont need the "Dont be a teacher" thing. I know how much money they make but I also know it is a personal choice and it may be the career I choose plus I feel teachers help mold our future. Thank you for all the help.
Some questions about the navy and navy rates? 1. If I were to join the navy and plan on making a career, would there be any point in which I could change to a different rate? Like after 4 years and I am up for reenlistment, would I have to reenlist as the same rate? Can I switch rates in the middle of an enlistment term, either way, how does the process work? Do you have to go to A school again? Do you lose rank? 2. If I were to join as say a navy corpsman, and during my time as a corpsman I were to go to college and learn another language like Chinese on my own, would the navy be able to reassign me to a language rating and send me overseas, or would I have to volunteer the use of my newly acquired language?
plz comment on the following.? N R Narayana Murthy, chief mentor and chairman of the board, Infosys Technologies, delivered a pre-commencement lecture at the New York University (Stern School of Business) on May 9. It is a scintillating speech, Murthy speaks about the lessons he learnt from his life and career. We present it for our readers: Dean Cooley, faculty, staff, distinguished guests, and, most importantly, the graduating class of 2007, it is a great privilege to speak at your commencement ceremonies. I thank Dean Cooley and Prof Marti Subrahmanyam for their kind invitation. I am exhilarated to be part of such a joyous occasion. Congratulations to you, the class of 2007, on completing an important milestone in your life journey. After some thought, I have decided to share with you some of my life lessons. I learned these lessons in the context of my early career struggles, a life lived under the influence of sometimes unplanned events which were the crucibles that tempered my character and reshaped my future. I would like first to share some of these key life events with you, in the hope that these may help you understand my struggles and how chance events and unplanned encounters with influential persons shaped my life and career. Later, I will share the deeper life lessons that I have learned. My sincere hope is that this sharing will help you see your own trials and tribulations for the hidden blessings they can be. The first event occurred when I was a graduate student in Control Theory at IIT, Kanpur, in India. At breakfast on a bright Sunday morning in 1968, I had a chance encounter with a famous computer scientist on sabbatical from a well-known US university. He was discussing exciting new developments in the field of computer science with a large group of students and how such developments would alter our future. He was articulate, passionate and quite convincing. I was hooked. I went straight from breakfast to the library, read four or five papers he had suggested, and left the library determined to study computer science. Friends, when I look back today at that pivotal meeting, I marvel at how one role model can alter for the better the future of a young student. This experience taught me that valuable advice can sometimes come from an unexpected source, and chance events can sometimes open new doors. The next event that left an indelible mark on me occurred in 1974. The location: Nis, a border town between former Yugoslavia, now Serbia, and Bulgaria. I was hitchhiking from Paris back to Mysore, India, my home town. By the time a kind driver dropped me at Nis railway station at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night, the restaurant was closed. So was the bank the next morning, and I could not eat because I had no local money. I slept on the railway platform until 8.30 pm in the night when the Sofia Express pulled in. The only passengers in my compartment were a girl and a boy. I struck a conversation in French with the young girl. She talked about the travails of living in an iron curtain country, until we were roughly interrupted by some policemen who, I later gathered, were summoned by the young man who thought we were criticising the communist government of Bulgaria. The girl was led away; my backpack and sleeping bag were confiscated. I was dragged along the platform into a small 8x8 foot room with a cold stone floor and a hole in one corner by way of toilet facilities. I was held in that bitterly cold room without food or water for over 72 hours. I had lost all hope of ever seeing the outside world again, when the door opened. I was again dragged out unceremoniously, locked up in the guard's compartment on a departing freight train and told that I would be released 20 hours later upon reaching Istanbul. The guard's final words still ring in my ears -- "You are from a friendly country called India and that is why we are letting you go!" The journey to Istanbul was lonely, and I was starving. This long, lonely, cold journey forced me to deeply rethink my convictions about Communism. Early on a dark Thursday morning, after being hungry for 108 hours, I was purged of any last vestiges of affinity for the Left. I concluded that entrepreneurship, resulting in large-scale job creation, was the only viable mechanism for eradicating poverty in societies. Deep in my heart, I always thank the Bulgarian guards for transforming me from a confused Leftist into a determined, compassionate capitalist! Inevitably, this sequence of events led to the eventual founding of Infosys in 1981. While these first two events were rather fortuitous, the next two, both concerning the Infosys journey, were more planned and profoundly influenced my career trajectory. On a chilly Saturday morning in winter 1990, five of the seven founders of Infosys met in our small office in a leafy Bangalore suburb. The decision at hand was the possible sale of Infosys for the enticing sum of $1 million. After nine years of toil in the then business-unfriendly India, we were quite happy at the prospect of seeing at least some money. I let my younger colleagues talk about their future plans. Discussions about the travails of our journey thus far and our future challenges went on for about four hours. I had not yet spoken a word. Finally, it was my turn. I spoke about our journey from a small Mumbai apartment in 1981 that had been beset with many challenges, but also of how I believed we were at the darkest hour before the dawn. I then took an audacious step. If they were all bent upon selling the company, I said, I would buy out all my colleagues, though I did not have a cent in my pocket. There was a stunned silence in the room. My colleagues wondered aloud about my foolhardiness. But I remained silent. However, after an hour of my arguments, my colleagues changed their minds to my way of thinking. I urged them that if we wanted to create a great company, we should be optimistic and confident. They have more than lived up to their promise of that day. In the seventeen years since that day, Infosys has grown to revenues in excess of $3.0 billion, a net income of more than $800 million and a market capitalisation of more than $28 billion, 28,000 times richer than the offer of $1 million on that day. In the process, Infosys has created more than 70,000 well-paying jobs, 2,000-plus dollar-millionaires and 20,000-plus rupee millionaires. A final story: On a hot summer morning in 1995, a Fortune-10 corporation had sequestered all their Indian software vendors, including Infosys, in different rooms at the Taj Residency hotel in Bangalore so that the vendors could not communicate with one another. This customer's propensity for tough negotiations was well-known. Our team was very nervous. First of all, with revenues of only around $5 million, we were minnows compared to the customer. Second, this customer contributed fully 25% of our revenues. The loss of this business would potentially devastate our recently-listed company. Third, the customer's negotiation style was very aggressive. The customer team would go from room to room, get the best terms out of each vendor and then pit one vendor against the other. This went on for several rounds. Our various arguments why a fair price -- one that allowed us to invest in good people, R&D, infrastructure, technology and training -- was actually in their interest failed to cut any ice with the customer. By 5 p.m. on the last day, we had to make a decision right on the spot whether to accept the customer's terms or to walk out. All eyes were on me as I mulled over the decision. I closed my eyes, and reflected upon our journey until then. Through many a tough call, we had always thought about the long-term interests of Infosys. I communicated clearly to the customer team that we could not accept their terms, since it could well lead us to letting them down later. But I promised a smooth, professional transition to a vendor of customer's choice. This was a turning point for Infosys. Subsequently, we created a Risk Mitigation Council which ensured that we would never again depend too much on any one client, technology, country, application area or key employee. The crisis was a blessing in disguise. Today, Infosys has a sound de-risking strategy that has stabilised its revenues and profits. I want to share with you, next, the life lessons these events have taught me. 1. I will begin with the importance of learning from experience. It is less important, I believe, where you start. It is more important how and what you learn. If the quality of the learning is high, the development gradient is steep, and, given time, you can find yourself in a previously unattainable place. I believe the Infosys story is living proof of this. Learning from experience, however, can be complicated. It can be much more difficult to learn from success than from failure. If we fail, we think carefully about the precise cause. Success can indiscriminately reinforce all our prior actions. 2. A second theme concerns the power of chance events. As I think across a wide variety of settings in my life, I am struck by the incredible role played by the interplay of chance events with intentional choices. While the turning points themselves are indeed often fortuitous, how we respond to them is anything but so. It is this very quality of how we respond systematically to chance events that is crucial. 3. Of course, the mindset one works with is also quite critical. As recent work by the psychologist, Carol Dweck, has shown, it matters greatly whether one believes in ability as inherent or that it can be developed. Put simply, the former view, a fixed mindset, creates a tendency to avoid challenges, to ignore useful negative feedback and leads such people to plateau early and not achieve their full potential. The latter view, a growth mindset, leads to a tendency to embrace challenges, to learn from criticism and such people reach ever higher levels of achievement (Krakovsky, 2007: page 48). 4. The fourth theme is a cornerstone of the Indian spiritual tradition: self-knowledge. Indeed, the highest form of knowledge, it is said, is self-knowledge. I believe this greater awareness and knowledge of oneself is what ultimately helps develop a more grounded belief in oneself, courage, determination, and, above all, humility, all qualities which enable one to wear one's success with dignity and grace. Based on my life experiences, I can assert that it is this belief in learning from experience, a growth mindset, the power of chance events, and self-reflection that have helped me grow to the present. Back in the 1960s, the odds of my being in front of you today would have been zero. Yet here I stand before you! With every successive step, the odds kept changing in my favour, and it is these life lessons that made all the difference. My young friends, I would like to end with some words of advice. Do you believe that your future is pre-ordained, and is already set? Or, do you believe that your future is yet to be written and that it will depend upon the sometimes fortuitous events? Do you believe that these events can provide turning points to which you will respond with your energy and enthusiasm? Do you believe that you will learn from these events and that y
