Are You A Gastroenterologist Tell Me What Degree Did You Have To Get In College Was Learning To

TEACHERS:Do they teach you in college how to tell when students dont get along with eachother?

No, they do not teach this in college.

If you had told your teacher the specific reason you did not like working with this other group of people, perhaps she/he would have done something to change the situation.

Teachers hear a million complains per day, so unless you expressed how serious you were about it, she probably just dismissed it without thinking. By the way, it is true that you will have co-workers that you don't get along with, but you have to work with anyway.

How do you become a gastroenterologist?

You start with a 4-year college degree, followed by 4 years of med school, and finally about 5 years of residency.

Please Tell Me How my College Admissions Letter Sounds?

I read the first paragraph and knew that you needed to do some work. Let me qualify this-your essay isn't WRONG. You have an introduction, one body paragraph (which should be made into 2 and have a 3rd one added), and a conclusion. The grammar and spelling are generally good.

So what's the problem? The problem is that it's really boring. There is nothing in here that sets you apart from all the other students applying to Rutgers. ANYONE could have written this, myself included. You are a person with life experiences; write about them! Check out this website; it might help you. It's an essay written by the University of Virginia admissions people. What you will see quickly is that you have the "McEssay" here-not wrong, but also not fundamentally different from any other kid's essay.

Is a college degree even worth the money that you pay for it?

You education does not end when you graduate!

>"With all the crap that they put you through ..."

That's the reason they hire college graduates. It takes a certain amount of discipline to finish and get through the academic rigor. Many companies will not hire you without a degree. It's the price for admission (a right of passage). Why, because many of the people that do the hiring also have college degrees. The focus of college is to learn how to think, not developing "technical" specific skills.

The Bachelors degree is one of the toughest to get by virtue of the time it takes and the multitude of courses (120 credits minimum). At least with the Masters degree the curriculum is focused more on a specific area, and they don't put the students do not have to go through the same "crap".

Probably with the exception of Bill Gates as an example, most people that run large corporations have college degrees. There are some occupations and jobs where you need more than a 4 year degree.

My suggestion, finish your degree (Bachelors). Then you can work on certifications. Certifications have the most relevance when it comes to specific technical and professional skills. Do the best you can in school, that's the only thing employers have to evaluate you on.


Right now, with the economy the way it is, the best place is to be is in school!

What could i do to better help me get a job besides college?

I'm sure you know by the tone of your question that college is a good first step.

But if you are set on not doing that right now

my advice for you is to get experience. That is what companies look for when they hire.
I'm graduating college right now and my deal is the same thing.
How do you get experience for a job when the jobs all require experience to get hired.

Try networking and meeting people in the industry you are looking for and apply for a short internship. This will give you experience and a reference for future employers to call. And often this will lead to a great position in that company or a related company.

Ask lots of questions of professional people in your area. People like to talk about themselves and then they think you are interested in learning about their job and often will like you and hire you because of that.

I hope some of that made sense and helps!
Good luck!

This makes me chuckle. In spite of doing well on standardized tests, I graduated in the bottom half of my high school class and completely failed math. Long story short, I then did very well in college calculus and physics after a symbolic logic class showed me the beauty and art that is mathematical thought.  Major GPA: 3.95. I did well in grad school, too, while working full-time and raising two kids as a single parent (along with great help from my own parents). The kids are practically adults now, and doing well themselves. One of them is repeating my pattern, and after years of high school struggle will probably do great things once he graduates [aka "is set free"] from high school next month. The other has an extraordinary way with people and works harder than anyone I know, and will probably do great things when she graduates from college in a couple years. The answer to your question is obviously Yes. But so what? GPAs on their own are not an accurate measure of anything that really matters.  They don't measure EQ, learning agility, grace under pressure, your ability to deal with ambiguity, or whether you're grouchy in the morning... They are not singular predictors of individual success or happiness, nor do they measure your contribution to society. They measure a simple fact of test scores but they don't tell the story of your grandma dying or your friend getting cancer or your parents' divorce - things that were inadvertently measured but somehow didn't count. Do your best in all you do, but don't let yourself for a minute think that your grades - good or bad, past or future - are any kind of indicator of who you really are. And besides, plenty of lovely, amazing geniuses don't even go to college in the first place.

To the people with learning disability, how long did it take you to get a degree in college?

It can take a few more years to achieve your degree but it is achievable. Lucy Blackman who is an author of several books and has a degree despite having autism and is non-verbal achieved her degree. Lucy travels the world with her mother giving presentations. Anne MacDonald (Has Cerebral Palsy) was institutionalised till she was about eighteen and with the help of Dr Rosemary Crossly was able to leave and live with her. Anne had never had any schooling and was mainly left on the floor or in a bed, at many times near death from starvation. Anne once healthy enough went to adult education classes and eventually went to university and graduated. Anne herself is an author such as 'Annie's coming out" and gives presentations to educate that having a disability does not stop you from going after your dreams. Use the Special support people and look into them getting others to take notes for you. This is their job. Keep at it you will make it. My 14 year old niece ( has autism) whom I home school is only started grade 8 and knows she will probably finish high school about 20. She wants to be a teacher in a special school. When she was at school one of her teachers had cerebral palsy and this inspired her.

The bitter truth is that it all comes down to money. By forcing you into certain courses to complete degree requirements, they are guaranteed a return on their investment, while you the student, are forced into paying anywhere from $500-$1000 dollars per credit hour. With the government subsidizing their incomes, the college system in the United States has basically become an enormous racketeering/extortion scheme. For the sake of brevity I will not even get into the political side of this mess.Does that seem cynical? I like to call a spade a spade.“well the core classes/electives help broaden your horizon and help young students figure out what they want to do”Firstly, if a student is already decided on what they want to do right out of high school, this point is moot.Second, I would buy that argument if I wasn’t being charged thousands of dollars for the potential to “broaden my horizons”. There is absolutely no reason why a computer science major should be forced into taking a children's literary course. If I want to learn more about children's literature I will do so on my own time and my own budget.When we start to perceive college as a serious financial investment in ourselves and less of “an experience to find yourself” the more we will wake up to this unfortunate truth. I believe this is why we have seen an enormous growth in online education, trade schools and the like that give you the skills you need without the unnecessary burden attached.
