<s> [INST] I want to become an army officer. What can I do to become an army officer? I am Priyanka from Bangalore . Now am in 10th std . When I go to college I should not get confused on what I want to take to become army officer. So I am asking this question #military #army Keywords: officer, military, army, bangalore, college[/INST] <p>Hi. I joined the Army after I attended college and received a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. Commissioned officers enter the Military with a four year degree or receive officer training after joining and complete a tour. You can prepare yourself by taking Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) while in high school or a university. You can also attend Officer Candidate School (OCS) after graduating from college or become commissioned by earning a professional degree. If you decide to earn a degree, think about what you would like to do while in the military. The experience in the military was very rewarding. I wish you well and much success in your future. </p> </s>

<s> [INST] Will going abroad for your first job increase your chances for jobs back home? I'm planning on going abroad for my first job. It will be a teaching job and I don't have any serious career ideas. I don't know what job I would be working if I stay home instead so I'm assuming staying or leaving won't makeba huge difference in what I care about, unless I find something before my first job. I can think of ways that going abroad can be seen as good and bad. I do not know which side respectable employers willl side with. #working-abroad #employment- #overseas Keywords: abroad, overseas, employment, jobs, employers[/INST] <p>I work for a global company who values highly international experience. In fact, that is a key experience we look for in candidates. Therefore, I'd say it would be wise to take advantage of the teaching opportunity - even if only for a year or 2. You never know where it might lead and you will certainly have an edge on your return if you then look for employment in a global company.</p> </s>

<s> [INST] To become a specialist in business management, will I have to network myself? i hear business management is a hard way to get a job if you're not known in the right areas. #business #networking Keywords: networking, network, management, business, specialist[/INST] I agree with Denise. Every single job I've had since my first internship in college, I've found through connections. I have also been surprised that in some cases, connections that I least expected were crucial in helping me find new opportunities. For example, I am about to start a new role that in a lot of ways, is my dream job. A few months ago, I connected with someone that used to be on my team at a different company. We only worked on the same team for about 2 months, and 5 years later, ended up working at another tech company in Seattle. He ended up being the hiring manager for this new role, and after passing the other interviews, I got the job. I would say the most important thing when starting your career is to define what you want your brand to be, and what you want to be known for. This will help give you guidance on what activities and events to prioritize, books to read, etc. It's also essential to be mindful of the impression you leave with others. While networking is essential to building your career, it's important that it's also backed up by a reputation you feel proud about. As a student, I remember this feeling like an incredibly daunting task. It made it easier for me to find a group I could relate to. I joined ALPFA, an association for Latino Professionals that work across various business disciplines. I would recommend finding an organization that speaks to you, and begin practicing your networking skills there. </s>

<s> [INST] How does the gender gap effect productivity in the work force? As a woman of color, I am concerned about being marginalized in the workplace. #scientists Keywords: productivity, workplace, gender, marginalized, woman[/INST] <p>Gender differences in access to economic opportunities are frequently debated in relation to gender differences in labor market participation. participation focus on productivity and earnings—for two reasons. First, a focus exclusively on labor force participation provides only a partial picture of women’s and men’s experience in the labor market. Far from being a simple decision about whether or not to join the labor force, participation in market work involves reallocating time across a variety of activities—a process that can be difficult and costly, particularly for women. And a focus solely on participation masks gender differences in the nature and dynamics of work. Second, despite significant progress in female labor force participation over the past 25 years pervasive and persistent gender differences remain in productivity and earnings across different sectors and jobs. Indeed, many women around the world appear to be caught in a productivity trap—one that imposes significant costs on women’s welfare and economic empowerment today and serious disincentives to invest in the women of tomorrow. Despite lower earnings and productivity, women are not worse farmers, entrepreneurs, and workers than men. We argue instead that gender differences in labor productivity and earnings are primarily the result of differences in the economic activities of men and women— although gender differences in human capital and in the returns to worker and job characteristics also play a role.</p> </s>

<s> [INST] How to have a board that can attract $500,000 capital for a non-profit start up I've been accepted at Harvard's joint bachelor's and master's program in management for the summer of 2018. Since 2003, I've had a financial planning practice with Indian Tribes. My goal at Harvard is to learn best practices, so I can transition my practice into a sustainable and scalable non-profit organization, the Native Finance Development Corporation, for Indian Country. When funded, I will develop an online and in-person platform to provide financial education, debt resolution, savings and affordable loans to the tribal communities. Initially, I intend to leverage my relationship with existing client tribes. I've already submitted for establishment of my 401(c)3 with the IRS. In early March, 2018, I applied for certification as a Native American Community Development Finance Institution. I have a business plan. Over the next four years, I will attend Harvard full-time while developing the IT and human resources and training aspects of the non-profit. What would be the most effective and efficient way to develop this board? #business #business-development #nonprofits Keywords: nonprofits, bachelor, harvard, developing, financial[/INST] <p>Hi Cynthia -</p><p><br></p><p>First of all congratulations on having a well-thought out plan for your non-profit. You have shown a lot of initiative that this will help you go far. Board development is one of the most important things for a new organization to focus on. Members of your board help you establish credibility and ideally open their networks to you, both to raise visibility and of course, funds.</p><p><br></p><p>While community financial institutions are not my area of expertise, I will give you some tips that should be helpful in general. As your main need is for this board to be a funding/fundraising board for a community financial institution, that arena is where you need to look for individuals to invite onto your board. First, look at your own networks:</p><ol><li> Are any of your friends, community members, relatives, friends' relatives in finance? Can you approach them with your idea, see what they think and then invite them to join your board? </li><li>Look at similar institutions - community financial institutions (CFIs). Are there individuals on their boards that you can invite onto yours?</li><li>Once you have a core group of individuals on your board (not all need to have finance backgrounds - some can have HR experience or be from the community you are trying to help), then you need to put a fundraising plan in place. It would be helpful to have at least one board member who has fundraising experience. The fundraising plan should have concrete steps as to how the organization is going to reach its initial goal ($500,000), what is the timeline, what are the steps, etc.</li><li>Once you have your plan, then each member of the board should be encouraged to contribute and to help with fundraising in any way they can. Your plan should have options for commitment - dollar amount, amount each board member will help raise, what networks they can introduce you to, to help fundraise, etc.</li></ol><p>Board development should be customized for each organization as it is important to get a good mix of people on the board, and who hopefully have good chemistry working together. Your board chair should be the person you work closely with to help you keep other board members focused on their commitments.</p><p><br></p><p>Being at Harvard should help you access alumni networks, ask your professors for ideas on who should be on your board (perhaps one of them would agree to serve). Having a couple of big names helps attract others.</p><p><br></p><p>Hope this is helpful - wish you the very best!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p> </s>

<s> [INST] To be a dental hygienist or a dentist? I'm a sophomore in high school and I am trying to decide what classes to take.

Do what you enjoy the monetary rewards will come. I've been practicing for 27 years as a RDH. I did make an effort to apply to dental school after 6 years as a hygienist but didn't get admitted. I'm very happy now that I didn't. As Dr. Barnett mentioned, as a hygienist, the schedule is very flexible if you want to have a family. Little did I know I would still be practicing but I have recently started teaching as a part-time adjunct clinical instructor. Every dental hygiene program has different requirements for their program so make sure you look at each one. Most programs are a 4 year but their are some 2 year associate programs. Then, if you want to do a completion of BS in dental hygiene you may. Other students have done a BS in science base degree then had options to apply to dental hygiene or DDS program. Whatever you decide, don't let the monetary part drive you, let the profession drive you to be and do your best. The best to you!</p> </s>

<s> [INST] Is it better to sell your invention idea(s) to a company or raise money to patent it yourself? I have a lot of invention ideas and I am not sure how to get help.

As with most excellent questions, the answer is - it depends. What does it depend on? A couple things:</p><p><br></p><p>1) Could your invention be a business? - Not all inventions can. Some inventions might solve a problem in a way that's superior to any other, but if it can't be scaled (e.g. can't be manufactured in a way that brings cost below price by a sustainable margin, is not sufficiently differentiated from competition to attract customers, market of potential customers is not large enough to justify start-up costs, etc.) then there's no business. Keep in mind though - just because one person may not be able to turn an invention into a business doesn't mean it doesn't have value. An invention could be patented and then sold (or licensed) to a company with complementary characteristics from which value could be derived from synergies between the invention and their existing product (e.g. the company already has an established presence in the target market of the invention, the company manufactures their existing product in a similar way such that existing infrastructure could be utilized). </p><p><br></p><p>2) Do you want to be an entrepreneur? - If your invention could be a business that you could start yourself, the next question to ask is whether you want to be an entrepreneur. Successful entrepreneurs often work long hours for long periods of time trying to get their businesses off the ground, and even then success is scarce. Read about successful entrepreneurs (and unsuccessful entrepreneurs) to learn more about the sheer size of the risks and rewards involved, and whether such a lifestyle works for you (one insightful resource from an experienced entrepreneur - http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html)</p><p><br></p><p>After careful reflection, if you're leaning toward 'yes' to both questions, then starting down the path of launching a business is next. If not, then selling (or licensing) your inventions to another individual or company with the means to bring it to market might be the best path. Whether you decide to start your own business or sell / license your invention as is, you'll likely want to apply for a patent. Patenting a product is not cheap (https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/how-much-does-a-patent-cost), but it's likely much cheaper than costs needed to launch a business. Here's a good article I stumbled across that may be helpful on the topic of applying for patents (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/204918).</p><p><br></p><p>I'm far from an expert on this topic, but hopefully these thoughts help you find a path to more relevant resources. Best of luck to you!</p> </s>

<s> [INST] Who/what do you think truly decides where you go to college? Most people claim their decision to enroll in a certain college was completely their own. But is this accurate?

Are there other factors that may indirectly influence their decision? #college #higher-education #niche #decisions Keywords: college, decisions, decides, decision, counselors[/INST] I don't have a specific answer. I have some questions though.... 1. In an ideal world, most students should answer "What is YOUR reason for attending a specific college"? Mine was cost at first. I attended a local community college. I thought I was just there because I was saving money, but I learned very quickly that some of the most incredible professors teach at community colleges!! 2. "Is your school choice to please yourself"? Ultimately, I became extremely happy with my college choices. As an undergrad, I had the most AMAZING professors who taught at community colleges, because that is what they loved doing! My abilities and dreams grew leaps and bounds, and I did not spend a lot of money that I didn't have. 3. "Are you attending because you have found your calling"? In my opinion, this question is more important the higher up the academic world you climb. As an undergraduate for my first A.A., I went to a community college that I could afford while working in the writing lab. Undergraduate education is somewhat uniform in terms of the type of general education classes required. For me, I looked more at what was important to me in a school for my BA I wanted to teach, so I selected a college that specialized in teaching. I stayed at the same women's college for grad school, because I loved the professors who already knew me and the work I was doing. They challenged the heck out me in grad school! Probably, because by grad school, they knew my weaknesses and my strengths. I returned to community college for a second AA degree because the college and the students, staff, faculty, and admin were all soooo amazing. 4. I have noticed some students attend schools because their parents did. In my opinion, the question here is: "Are you pursuing the work you really want to do"? None of my parents had degrees, so I selected a women's college for my advanced education, because I was influenced by a professor who knew I wanted to teach. The single BEST decision I ever made! I was influenced by an educator that knew me, and she more or less dropped me off there and told me to "start finding out about the opportunities there". I had no idea that it would be the most challenging and rewarding experience of my life. </s>

Business and marketing require very different training than architecture and engineering. Both fields will have pros and cons. Do you like building projects, working on business plans, travel, working outside etc.? Look on the internet, under each of the areas and get a feel for the jobs. Most jobs will require math but engineering and business have very different math course requirements. Once you figure out which general direction you are interested in, make sure you work on the requirements and find a in-state college/university’s that has that program if possible.

Based off of your comment above, you seem to be concerned about the environmental impact of a growing population where people live longer and longer lives. So there's a term for the population that the earth can environmentally support, and that is called the "carrying capacity". Thomas Malthus put out a theory in the 19th Century that there is a finite population that the earth can support and and anything leading that could lead to mass famine, disease, and starvation. Thankfully Malthus' prediction has yet to come true but it is a real worry. The resources on earth are finite, that is true, but human ingenuity is pretty incredible. </p><p><br></p><p>We human have so far been able to invent ourselves out of ecological issues before ( think about the advent of nitrogen based fertilizers and the Green Revolution). While the problems and issues that we face ecologically and environmentally are great, I choose to believe that our intellect, creativity, and ingenuity will save us...it has in the past at least. Also, what is limiting us to staying on Earth? We humans are explorers, perhaps one day interstellar space travel will actually be a reality and we will be able to inhabit other worlds, the possibilities are endless. </p><p><br></p><p>Keep thinking creatively and push yourself to think outside the box, our future depends on it.</p><p><br></p><p>Best,</p><p>Austin </p> </s>

I'm worried that I will struggle to find a job once I obtain my degree. #stressed #worried #help #career-path #college Keywords: college, career, degree, stressed, job[/INST] Jerrod, I'm certain you will get A JOB upon graduating from college, but I think more specifically you want to know if you will get a job in the field you majored in. You can start by looking at Bureau of Labor Statistics and go to the Occupation Outlook handbook. Look at occupations associated with your major. Then start networking while you are in school. Find out if there is an association on campus that is focused on those occupations (i.e Business club, Nursing association, etc,). Start networking on and off campus. Talk to the Career Services department at your school and see if they can help you with finding summer internships. Treat your internship like a job. When the internship supervisors see how well you are doing (and you need to well), they may hire you, but in the event that it is not in their budget, you know have credible people in your field who you can use as references. Soak up all the knowledge you can. In addition, you naturally want to keep your grades and attendance up and seize any opportunities on or off campus that will bring you a step closer to entering your field upon graduation. Start NOW!. Good luck. </s>

What a big question! First, let me start off by saying that every college experience is a unique one depending on lots of different factors. I would say one of the biggest struggles most people face when starting college is time management. This is often the first time they are away from home and don't have anyone telling them what to do and when to do it. This is a very exciting, but also dangerous, thing. It is very easy to get caught up in socializing, relaxing, and making memories and therefore letting academics slide a bit. I found the easiest thing to do was make a concrete schedule each week of assignments, both ones due that week and ones due in coming weeks (or months) that needed continual work. This helped me prioritize my schoolwork first and then let everything else fall into place. I hope this helps a bit! </s>

To that end, all engineering fields offer a very diverse and rewarding career and is worth the effort that it takes to get a degree.

The thing you have to know is that carpentry covers everything from large construction projects to cabinetry to custom artwork. Because of that, the work conditions range from begin outside putting huge structure together to making fine artwork in wood indoors. And in the near future, computer aided design and manufacturing and rapid prototyping will get more and more pervasive. Very soon, you won't be able to avoid using computers and a whole host of automated manufacturing techniques. But while you can likely get a job as an unskilled laborer and then work your way up, I'd recommend taking advantage of training programs. The biggest mistake I see many young people make is thinking that "book learning" and being a college student are the only ways to go. One thing we must never lose is the ability to apply our knowledge and theories. The artisans of the past knew this, and would require people to be apprentices first. And the greatest craftsmen -- artists, carpenters, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, engineers and, I think, the best scientists and general problem solvers go in and get their "hands dirty". I have a dentist who is, as far as I can tell, the best I've ever had. His secret? He knows how to do bodywork on cars. Craft is craft. It's what makes humans tick.</p> </s>

California is one of them. There is also something called the intern development program where you track areas you need to work in to be able to start taking your exams. Its been over 10 years since I started my journey, so you will need to check to see how much school and work is required before you are eligible to start taking your exams. The intern development program will have you exposed to a firm and the process of getting a project from design to construction. You are taught the project management required for this. BUT owning your own firm has business related to it. Being business savvy is a HUGE plus because schools don't really teach this at all.

As a recruiter with over 15 years of experience I've reviewed thousands of resumes and have used LinkedIn to find candidates since their beginning.</p> <p>A resume and a LinkedIn profile are both extremely important and will contain a lot of the same information. However, they have different purposes. Your LinkedIn profile allows you to be found by hiring managers, recruiters and other professionals looking to network with you. Think about your LinkedIn profile as your "always on" professional career advertisement. Hiring managers and recruiters are searching LinkedIn day and night seeking individuals with the right skill set, education and experience to join their teams. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date, free of typos and grammatical errors and remember your profile shouldn't just be a laundry list of what you've done at each company. It should clearly state your professional value proposition and highlight your achievements in each position you list. Every LinkedIn profile should include a pleasant-professional looking head shot for a picture. Save pictures with your friends, family and pets for Facebook and Instagram. This should be a picture of you dressed in work appropriate attire and grooming from shoulders up with a simple uncluttered background.</p> <p>Your resume, just as important as your LinkedIn profile, will be used when you want to apply for a job. I think of a resume more like your business card for career search.

It should clearly state your professional value proposition or PVP -What is the value you can bring to an employer? (The PVP has replaced the old "Objective" used on resumes) and highlight your achievements in each position you list. Make an effort to quantify your achievements wherever possible and keep it clear and concise. A recruiter or hiring manager will only review a resume for a few seconds before they move on to the next. Make sure your resume is representing you in the best and most professional way possible so you receive that follow up email or call.</p> </s>

Do you think traveling is essential to becoming the most educated, influential and intellectual person one can be? #travel #education #importance #intellect Keywords: traveling, travel, traveled, importance, intellectual[/INST] <p>I do think that travelling is very helpful to becoming well-rounded and educated. Travel opens you up to different cultures, allowing you to compare your culture with that of others; educating you about people and places beyond your own that will help inform everything you do in your life; opening you up to new ideas, presented in new and different ways; and educating you about history, commerce, culture, language, and the arts that you will use for years to come. Most important, you learn much about yourself when you travel: how well you adapt to new situations, where your strengths and weaknesses lie and how to improve them, how strong your social skills are, an understanding of how empathetic and curious you are -- excellent traits in working with others. If you are required to learn a language in school, traveling to a country where they speak that language - and where you submerge yourself in that language and its culture -- will enhance your ability to speak and think in that language, cementing it into your brain if you continue to use it upon return from your trip. Also, studying abroad for a semester or longer opens you up to enhanced education. And, one of the best pluses of travel is that of making friends around the world - and, now, in this connected world, they can be friends for life. </p> </s>

Before determining what you should do to get there; figure out where you want to go.</p> <p>Based on your goal- the next step is to declare a major that will allow you to be prepared for that role. Example: If you want to be a Fashion Designer, you want to have a major or courses in fashion design (of course), pattern-making, textiles, auto-cad, graphics, and other arts. If you want to be in on the business side of things- majors or courses in marketing, advertising, corporate communications, finance, and management would be best.</p> <p>Third, as a student- you want to make sure you have at least one internship under your belt by the time you graduate. Whether a short-term summer internship, or a internship that is long-term throughout the year- find one that is inline with where you want to be. If you're lucky, you may find an internship that pays. However, what should matter in the quality of the experience and the company. </p> <p>Find a part-time job in the fashion world. Even a job a Sales Associate at a store in your local mall will provide you with first-hand experience in the industry that can build your experience from the ground up, and show where you want to be. Nothing beats learning first hand.</p> <p>Lastly, join student organizations. Fashion and arts clubs is where you want to be. If one at your school doesn't exist, make your own! Employers love candidates who take on initiative and leadership roles.</p> </s>

<s> [INST] I want to study law but not sure what subjects need to be taken,so need some advice on that. #law-practice #lawyer #career-details Keywords: subjects, lawyer, law, study, practice[/INST] While I don't have any experience with South African Barristers, I would suggest you give some thought to what kind of law you would like to practice. If you are more introverted and don't want to be heavily involved with client interactions, then you should think about research as a focus area, or if you love the stage, you may want to get more involved in trial law. on the other hand, you may find that you like keeping things on track and orderly, therefore corporate law may be a good fit or if you are wanting to focus more on criminal justice, then you could lean toward defense law or becoming a prosecutor. The main point here is to do some self analysis and try to align yourself to a few different good options for you. With that, you will be better positioned to find a law school that is aligned to your focus areas and from there you will be able to better decipher the kind of course work preferred by that law school. good luck </s>

<s> [INST] What majors do you recommend in order to be an ethnomusicologist? I am currently enrolled in a World Musics class at my university, and I find the field of ethnomusicology fascinating. However, I'm curious what majors lead to this. There's music, obviously, but this doesn't prepare one for understanding other cultures. It seems that sociology would be equally helpful because you don't necessarily have to be a musician to study how music reflects/influences culture. There's also the option to get a degree in [Country/Region] Studies, but I don't know if that's too specific for this purpose. Can anyone weigh in on this? Thanks so much! #college-major #music #world-cultures #ethnomusicology #musicology #world-music Keywords: musicology, ethnomusicologist, ethnomusicology, majors, musics[/INST] <p>Hi Alexandra,</p> <p>Many Ethnomusicology programs, including the one at Penn (which is very highly regarded) require an Anthropology background, along with music. Depending what school's program you ultimately enter, you'll likely have to have completed at least some coursework in Cultural Anthropology, Linguistics, and possibly classes related to one or more specific cultures. You may need to complete a minor in the field, or even a full degree program. The same will likely go for music - at least courses in Music Theory and Music History, and possibly performance requirements as well. A double major or double degree in Music and Anthropology is certainly worth considering.</p> <p>Your best bet is to look into the best Ethno grad programs - Penn, Stanford, and Florida State are a good start - and see what their requirements are. That will point the way. And don't be afraid to call or email the department head at any school you might be interested in attending; they'll give you the best guidance.</p> <p>Best of luck!

Let's take it down to a district court judge at the county level.</p> <p>Given that the vast majority of cases never go to trial, a lot of the judge's time is spent reviewing documents: various motions filed by the lawyers for the parties, and making rulings on these motions. Some are easy. A lawyer wants a delay in a case because he is scheduled to be in trial in another court that day. Some are difficult. Motion for Summary Judgement, for example. This is a very long legal document, citing numerous other cases as justification to dismiss a case for some reason or another.</p> <p>Sometimes the judge has docket call. This might be first appearances for parties accused of a crime, or those for who a motion to revoke probation has been filed. He will hear the defendant make a plea, and set the bond, or, remand without bond.</p> <p>Divorce cases, child abuse cases, and juvenile law cases can be very emotional. The judge has to apply the law, regardless of personal feelings.</p> <p>Judges of course also have time to visit. But really, it is a lot of reading and writing.</p> <p>Unless, you are on the supreme court or an appellate court. In which case, see the answer above! Kim</p> </s>

<s> [INST] If you are a nurse can you make your own schedule? #nursing #nurse#schedule #medicine Keywords: schedule, nurse, nursing, inst, medicine[/INST] <p>Good question! The answer is not black and white unfortunately though. It depends on where you work and what area of nursing you choose. For example, if you choose a hospital job with shift work, you are normally hired in for a usual shift. Most shifts in hospital nursing are 12 hour shifts, but there are still 8, 10 and Weekend option only shifts. You would also get additional pay for working evening, nights, or weekend shifts. Keep in mind if you have a higher than usual number of patients admitted, or a co- worker calls in ill, if another nurse can’t be found a Nurse would have to stay over. This does give you a power of negotiation sometimes and we can be creative with this...such as, “I will work another 8 hours if I can be off on Friday.” In a free-standing surgery center that performs elective surgeries you normally have daytime hours. OR in the hospitals, you have set hours, but if cases are running long, you will have to stay over. Also for emergency cases, surgery nurses take turns being on call, for which you Re compensated a bit and higher pay if you get called in for a case. Home Care is somewhat similar. If you work in administration, Education or Infection Control, those hours are normal daytime hours usually. Doctor’s offices normally close on time. There is always plenty of overtime pay to be made. If you need a shift off and the schedule is already posted, you likely can get off if you work out a trade with your co-worker. So, we are flexible, especially if you help others out, they are more apt to help you out. However, we have to keep our patients safe as we can first and foremost. Your next steps would be to think about what kind of nursing YOU want to practice. When I was a new single Nurse without children I could work ER, evenings and nights and lots of hours. After I became more experienced in my practice , married and had children, I got into Nursing Administration as a Department Manager so I could better manage my schedule and be home with my family at the traditional times...however, one must remember that all shifts should see their manager sometimes as well. Work a late evening and begin night shift or go in early to see night staff and leave early from day shift. Flexible! Good luck in your journey! </p> </s>

Here's a few things that worked for me:</p> <p>-Schedule your time: Research has shown that our brains focus best for about one and a half hours before needing a break or a reset. Try to organize your studying in 1.5 hour increments with a 15-20 minute break between sessions where you go for a walk, take care of a quick chore or chat with a friend. Then, return to your next study session. </p> <p>-Focus music: Check YouTube or your favorite music channels for focus music that you can play in the background while you study. This might help to keep you on task and also get more accomplished in a shorter amount of time.</p> <p>-Turn off all notifications: Turn off all alerts, alarms and notifications for anything (text, email, etc.) and put your phone on silent during the 1.5 hour study time. If you're working on your computer, close out your emails and all social media accounts. Almost everything you'll be notified about can wait until the 15-20 minute break, allowing you to not be distracted. The study sessions will stick more effectively and you will be able to cover more material.</p> <p>-Plan the material: Plan out the topics or materials that need to be covered during the 1.5 hours (this should be what is most important/what should be done now.) This way there is a good goal to accomplish by the end and you'll be able to better assess how much more or less time you may need for the topic at hand. It will also help you from jumping around too much and getting off track.</p> </s>

They too are overworked many times, and I have seen them in trial totally unprepared, because the case has dragged out for two years, and changed prosecutors three times.Most lawyers do not stay with the prosecutors office for their entire careers, they use it as a stepping stone, often, to go into criminal defense. </p> <p>People pay a lot of money for a criminal defense attorney. </p> </s>

<s> [INST] How important is attending film school in boosting one's chance of breaking into the film/television industry? I've heard debates on both sides but am still undecided as to whether it is a good investment. I have been accepted into a prestigious film school that will require me and my parents to take on loans in order to meet the half of the tuition/board. Would it be better to major in a more lucrative area and try to do film on the side? I already have had experience in screenwriting, filmmaking, directing, producing, and entrepreneurship. My portfolio film won awards and is being screened at 7 film festivals. I am a networker and go-getter. I feel I would take advantage of all there is to offer at film school and am so motivating to learn more. However, some people have advised that I skip it and put the money into developing my craft and movies, and perhaps getting a different degree. #film #television #undecided Keywords: filmmaking, movies, film, school, tuition[/INST] <p>This is a difficult question to answer because there are people in the film industry that feel strongly on both sides of this issue. I want to be careful in answering so as not to make any enemies. On the other hand I think someone needs to give some sound advice to this often asked question. So, here goes. There was a time where film school was a must, today however many things have changed. I believe that schooling is important for a film or TV career, but what schooling is the real question. Get your feet wet working in the industry. There are a lot of smaller independent productions you can get involved in. This will help you find the area of production that interests you or that you are best suited for. Then you can decide what education would be best for the specific film career you are interested in. Graphic artist, art directors, writers, storage technicians, there are many areas of modern production, just watch the credits. Choose the education that will help you advance your ideal production job.</p> <p>James Hout</p> </s>

<s> [INST] alright so what should i do if want to enter the world of forensics? I am debating on what I've been wanting to be for a while and it changed from Lawyer to Forensic Scientist Law just doesn't interest me anymore. #forensics #pathologist #toxicology #dna #entomologist Keywords: forensic, forensics, entomologist, lawyer, pathologist[/INST] <p>Step 1: Choose a Discipline Your first step is to choose a discipline. Forensic science is a broad field, integrating various disciplines of science in the pursuit of civil justice. Professionals in this field may specialize in toxicology, pathology, physical anthropology, behavioural science and general forensics, among other specialities.</p> <p>Step 2: Earn a Bachelor's Degree You must have at least bachelor's degrees to find employment in this occupation. Depending on the chosen discipline, students may focus their studies on the natural or biological sciences. For example, students interested in a career in toxicology may focus on microbiology, while those looking to begin a career in forensic ballistics may choose to focus on physics.</p> <p>Some colleges and universities offer Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science programs. Employing classroom and laboratory instruction, these 4-year degree programs combine various sciences applicable to forensic science. Courses may include:</p> <p>Microbiology Genetics Human anatomy Organic chemistry Toxicology Physics Evidence analysis Forensic anthropology Public speaking</p> <p>Step 3: Consider an Advanced Degree According to the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, some disciplines require only bachelor's degrees, while others may require advanced degrees in applicable fields of science or medicine. So the third step is to consider an advanced degree. Forensic anthropologists typically have Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in anthropology with focuses on human osteology and anatomy. Forensic ondontologists must have at least Doctor of Dental Science (DDS) degrees. Forensic pathologists must obtain medical licensure from the American Board of Pathology, which requires four years of medical school and five years of combined residency and fellowship training.</p> <p>Step 4: Gain Experience Forensic scientists typically work in laboratories, hospitals, morgues, government facilities and police departments. Specific job duties vary according to discipline, but forensic scientists generally conduct scientific investigations and analyse findings to reveal details about occurrences, such as deaths, car accidents, and non-violent crimes. They work closely beside crime scene investigators, officers, deputies, and attorneys. Forensic scientists may serve as expert witnesses in criminal trials, where they present their findings to juries and judges.</p> <p>Step 5: Obtain Certification The last step is to obtain certification. Earning a voluntary professional certification may help you demonstrate your competence in your specialty. The American Board of Criminalistics (ABC) offers two levels of certification for practicing forensic scientists. Candidates for diploma certification must hold bachelor's degrees in an applicable science, have two years of experience in criminology and pass a 220-question certification examination. Candidates for fellow certification must meet all diplomate requirements, complete a proficiency testing program and pass a comprehensive exam.</p> </s>

<s> [INST] Are nonprofits typically at career fairs? <p>I usually see for profit organizations and was wondering how often non-profit organizations are at career fairs? Are there career fairs strictly for non-profits?</p> Keywords: nonprofits, fairs, organizations, career, profits[/INST] <p>Hi Mounia,</p> <p>Yes, I would agree that some nonprofits may be represented at job fairs, but that's not really the best place to find them. Smaller nonprofits especially may not have the resources to send someone to a job fair; it doesn't really make sense to put time into that type of event when you have few openings. </p> <p>I highly recommend you check out idealist.org, a nonprofit job search website. By looking at job postings in your area, you can get a sense of what nonprofits are around. If you are interested in a job or internship in the near future, I would suggest you concentrate on applying to existing openings rather than contacting nonprofits to ask about work or volunteering. </p> <p>Of course, if you are interested in volunteering, or hoping to network with nonprofit professionals, by all means reach out to folks at local nonprofits. I'd just suggest you keep in mind that many nonprofits are extremely busy and people may not always be responsive to you if you reach out with general questions. It's not necessarily that they don't want to assist you, it's just that nonprofits get a variety of emails from prospective volunteers/interns/staff and it's hard to have time to connect with everyone. </p> <p>However, if you are interested in networking, you should definitely give it a try! You may have more success if you tell them (briefly) a little bit about your background, including what school you attend, what you're interested in studying, and why you want to learn more about the nonprofit field. Tell them what interests you about their specific nonprofit and its mission, ask if they would have time for a call or meeting, and thank them for their time and for considering your request.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> <p>Kate</p> </s>

This is okay. 4a) Some of your friendships will end for no other reason than the involved parties have changed. This is okay. Good, even. 4b) Invest in the relationships you want to keep; the best relationships don't happen passively. 5a) Take as many diverse classes in college. The more different from your major, the better. 5b) If you can't fit a class in your schedule that you want to take for pleasure, you can always audit it. 6) Learn outside of the classroom: volunteer events, internships, research opportunities, studying abroad, clubs. 7) Three months of summer break is great. Don't waste it. 8) Consider becoming an RA. It's a commitment not to be taken lightly, but it'll be awesome on your resume and save you a ton of money. 9) LEARN TO COOK. College is the best time to learn to cook. If anything, overpriced, subpar cafeteria food alone should be good enough reason to learn how to adult and cook. 10) You're not an adult, but you're not a child. You are both.
