You have just completed your college education. You’re very proud of the work that you have done to get your degree. One of the first things that you will probably want to do is to purchase a university diploma frame so that you can hang your university diploma on the wall where everyone can see it. There’s nothing wrong with that … unless your diploma came from a diploma mill.
A diploma mill is an institution which you can attend in order to receive a degree in many different areas of study. It looks a lot like a real college although it’s often a college that you attend solely online. The problem is that these schools are for-profit schools that don’t follow the regulations and standards that real colleges follow. They take your money and give you a diploma. If the school is a diploma mill, your college degree doesn’t count for much. And if you hang that diploma on the wall, people who see it may realize that you didn’t attend a real school.
Hopefully you did your homework before you applied to college. As long as the school that you attended was accredited then you have nothing to worry about (even if you did your whole degree online). If you have a diploma from a real school then go right ahead and hang it up. You should be proud!
Man, I am so happy it is Saturday. I know for most people, the weekend really means nothing anymore, since a large number of people work during the weekend. But for me, I have been enjoying my weekends off since I returned to school to work on my culinary education.
I did face a lot of skepticism from my parents when I told them that I wanted to attend one of the most prestigious cooking schools in the country in hopes of attaining my dream of being a professional chef. My father was the worst as he had always wanted me to follow in his footsteps and be a plumber.
But my calling was cooking and for that I am truly grateful. There is just something magical when you see the delight on your customers faces when they take the first bite of your creation – you know that you have made their lives just a little bit better.
Even though I do enjoy school, I do enjoy the break that the weekend provides. It seems that I don’t have a free moment during the week, so when Saturday rolls around I usually let out a big sigh of relief.
Do you want to know my plans for the weekend? Well, that is easy: I am going to relax. Monday will be here too soon.
Some of the best education information is found before you even reach a classroom. This next generation has so many opportunities to learn in an unbelievable number of ways thanks to the Internet. We learn about careers that generations before us would never have known about unless some guidance counselor along the way said “have you ever thought of becoming a ….”
Have you ever noticed that using your airline mileage points is a big game and only those who know how to play win the first class upgrades, the companion passes, and the free tickets?
Timeshare owners know exactly what I’m talking about. If you belong to a vacation ownership group, you had better know how to play the game and you better be prepared with all the rules otherwise you miss out on the location and the timeslot you want. In my particular timeshare, the earliest I can book a slot outside the particular location I purchased is eight months in advance. It took me a few failed attempts and missed years to learn that if I don’t call on the precise day and first thing in the morning at eight months in advance then I can kiss that desired slot goodbye.
As a parent of a college student, I am quickly learning that trying to reduce college costs is another game. The more I learn about the rules and how to play the game the better I am at being able to save on the cost of college. I don’t have it all figured out and plan to employ a certified college planning service to help me pave the road because, as I have already learned through the game of airline mileage and timeshares, the quicker I know how to play the faster I can win.
Okay, it’s time to get this show on the road. I’m tired of feeling unproductive and lazy. Let’s start a new chapter of my life now. I’m looking into nearby colleges to see what sorts of things are available to me. The four-year plan isn’t an option for me, so I’m taking career school more seriously. There are a lot of opportunities available from career schools and most programs offer jobs right after their completion. The programs I’ve been most attracted to most are accounting, information technology, and medical billing programs.
I can’t say much for accounting and IT, but as for medical billing, Sanford Brown Trevose PA seems to be the way to go. Their site has a bunch of corny videos about the school and the programs, but they were enough to convince me. This medical career school has a great location in the Philly area and they offer pretty flexible schedules for students. They also offer financial aid, which is definitely something I’ll need. With the less and less hours I’ve been getting at work and gas prices on the rise again, I’m seriously considering bank robbery. That was a joke, by the way. Don’t call the police.
