I am setting the stage by making these early predictions for the next presidential election in 2012. For anyone who would dare to dispute my assertions, please send me a quarter once my predictions become real and I am vindicated. It’s all about Hillary by default!
It’s sometimes between May and July 2012. Campaigning is at full swing. There are speculation all over about this and that.
Question by ronny: Overseas Education?
I have 3 year full time degree and 1 year Partime (through distance education) diploma in HRM. I would like to know if this is considered as 4 year degree to apply for US universities.
Best answer:
Answer by canadateacher2004 Not sure what country your degree and diploma are from. I know that most US universities offer undergraduate degrees as 4 years. You might have to do a qualifying year to gain the extra credit missed out by completing a 3 year degree. Ina ll, the most important thing is to look at the entry requirements for your chosen institution. How many credits do they require? It will also be best to contact the student services or international student department as they will be able to advice on requirements and equivilent in your country.
Good luck!

We’ve all been told to “Go fly a kite,” but the city of Sugar Land encourages it in a big way. This will be a great March shoot.
Let’s meet up for breakfast at Denny’s 6131 Hwy 6 S, Missouri City, TX at 8:30 for a quick bite and then head over to the parking lot where there will be shuttles available to take us to the park.
There are contests for largest, smallest, most unusual, most colorful and highest flying kites. Other entertainment includes walk-around characters such as Ben Franklin, who will provide stories on the history of kite flying and its connection to the discovery of electricity. Cirque style performers and stilt walkers will also roam the meadow enticing the crowd with their visual artistry and movement. Face painting and henna tattoos will also be available for children who want to partake in the festivities. There will be cultural performances from local groups, which should provide colorful attire and probably dancing.

Cutting-edge computer scientists are coming to see that electronic circuits really are alien, that the difference between the human mind and computer capability is not merely one of degree (how fast), but of kind(how). The author suggests that computers “think” best when their “thoughts” are allowed to emerge from the interplay of millions of tiny operations all interacting with each other in parallel. Why then, if computers bring to the table such very different strengths and weaknesses, are we still trying to program them to think like humans? A work that ranges widely over the history of ideas from Galileo to Newton to Darwin yet is just as comfortable in the cutting-edge world of parallel processing that is at this very moment yielding a new form of intelligence.

The next degree earned after a Bachelor’s degree is normally a Master’s degree. Holding a Master’s degree indicates that the graduate possesses the knowledge necessary to teach the discipline / major chosen. A wide range of Master’s degrees is offered by colleges nowadays. One can opt for Master’s of Science in Healthcare, Master’s of Science in Arts, Master of Business Administration (MBA) etc. that are professional degrees involving intensive research and technical skills in order to successfully complete the program. All Master’s Degrees demand a completed research project or a thesis in order to graduate.
If you choose to excel in an area of your chosen discipline, a Master’s degree is an impressive addition to your educational armor. A two-year Associate’s degree or a four-year Bachelor’s degree both demonstrate a proficiency in the level of your education, but a Master’s degree indicates a level of expertise in a specific area of study. Most employers nowadays require a four-year degree at minimum for entry-level positions in a host of various careers. Having a Master’s degree to your credit will only make the job application process that much more advantageous in your favor as well as help you advance up the career ladder more easily. Research indicates that people with Bachelor’s degree earn less than those with advanced degrees such as a Master’s or even a Doctorate. And if you want to keep yourself more marketable and your training skills more current, an advanced degree may be just what you need.
You could opt for a Master’s degree directly after graduating with your Bachelor’s degree or, like many people are choosing, you could return to an advanced degree after a few years of gaining experience in the workplace. Even in such instance, having a Master’s degree gives you an option of a career change if you want to diversify and switch to another chosen discipline.
Apart from boosting your income and giving you an advantage while competing for jobs, a Master’s degree is often considered for certain higher-level positions in the fields of business, public policy, engineering, and administration. Candidates without an advanced degree might not even be entertained, so make sure you investigate the requirements of your career choices and plan your education accordingly.
A Master’s degree also allows the student to be fully immersed in a subject matter they obviously feel passionate about. Conducting research, meeting and interacting with prestigious faculty and peers, and creating long term contacts are all part and parcel of such an educational experience.
Colleges and institutions offer diversified degree programs to choose from for Master’s. While you can opt for a traditional classroom and attend lectures at a school, many colleges now offer the same Master’s Degree Programs online as well. This is a boon for those of you who want to advance your career but cannot interrupt your life to do so.
Online Masters degree allows you to maintain your income, keep your day job and further your education at the same time. The process is amazingly flexible and convenient with the pace of studying set by you. No doubt, there will be times when all your commitments – your family, your job, or your studies may clash but with a sense of discipline and a whole lot of motivation, you will manage.
Online Masters Degree Programs are also less expensive than the traditional graduate degree programs. Since you can opt for an accelerated online graduate degree nowadays, the sooner you graduate, the faster you can reap the benefits of your advanced degree in terms of higher pay and better job prospects. As we discussed earlier, a Master’s degree will help you advance your career and make you invaluable to the company you work for. Many companies often sponsor their employee’s higher education as well, so check this out with your Human Resource department if you are interested.
Choosing to complete a Master’s degree is not a decision to be taken lightly. It is a major commitment of time and money with intensive work and research, but the end results will more than make up for it. Of that there is no doubt.
