How many times can i miss my class (college)?!?
We meet 3 times a week for 2 hours, but we literally just sit on the computer and work at our own pace.. were also supposed to work on it outside of class. We have been short at work lately and ive had to work more often in the morning (when the class is) and ive probably missed 6 days already and were a little more then half way finished with the semester. ( I DONT NOT USE FAFSA ) I have completed a course and im on a second one.. so im doing really well. But i dont think were hiring soon and i need the hours anyways for rent and tuition itself, so i will probably be missing a day a week atleast.. Aslong as i get my 9 hours a week (that is needed for the online course) i should be ok right?! Ive noticed a lot of people are always absent. And she hasnt said anything to anyone about it.. other then if they are an hour late or something. Its a "U/S" grading.. will U mean i will have to retake the course ive already finished?
Can you become a fitness/MMA trainer without a highschool diploma?

I started eating healthy and training boxing,jui-jitsu,wrestling, all kinds of stuff, After a couple of fights in the cage i want to teach kids and teens to protect themselves from bullies and show them how to be successful in weight loss.
Why do women get college degrees, just to be stay-at-home moms?
I think in general that society puts a pressure on women (and men but women is topic here) to get a degree whether they truly want to or not. Women are often ridiculed by other women who choose career over being a stay at home mom as not being ambitious enough, smart enough blah blah blah. I think many women obtain a degree they never use (and possibly never had intention to use) so they can shove it in the face of those women who do have that attitude mentioned above. Personally I wasted a lot of money and time in university because I thought it was expected of me by society. From the 7th grade on it was drilled into us to go to college and if we didn't we would be losers and by the time we are 18 we are so brainwashed with that we go to uni and spend all that money whether we really wanted to or not. I don't consider the education or knowledge a waste it is just not what I truly wanted to do. If I could turn back time I honestly wouldn't of went. I didn't marry until I was 26, I never used my degree and made more money in a completely unrelated field than I would of using it. Weird.
Where can I get an online job for college students?
College goers, more often than not, get highly bogged down by the curriculum demands. Attending classes, completing homework assignments and on-campus clubs/groups or fraternities take up most of their time. Getting through college life with increasing tuition fees and student loan rates always proves to be a tough task. Asking for money from parents also feels a bit awkward at this stage. This is why college students look for part-time jobs to fund their way through college. Online jobs are the most sought after because the working hours are flexible, and the payout is sufficient.If you have the following things in possession:A computer/laptop with an internet connectionAn e-mail accountMicrosoft Word, Microsoft Excel and similar applicationsA PayPal/Payza/Skrill accountA bank account for check deposits and withdrawalsSkype (not necessary but it will be helpful),Tuition and pizza money is guaranteed!So, here is a list of 10 online jobs that can surely keep students and their pockets happy for the rest of their college lives………read more
Pretend to go to college?
I am 14, and I will be a singer when I grow up. I told my parents but they don't believe in me and said I have to go to college when I graduate high school. They want me to be a doctor so that's what I tell everyone I will be when I grow up but in reality, I WILL be a singer and I don't need/want to have a backup plan. The only way I can live with them after I'm 18 is if I'm going to college. So I was thinking I could tell them I want to do online college(I currently am doing high school online) and I can work at a fast food place to make money to work on my music. Once I'm discovered I can take care of my family and make them proud. :) P.S. Please don't tell me to get my degree and have a backup plan because I would rather die (literally) than do any other job. It is my life and music is what I plan to do with it. :) I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for my love of music (would have killed myself years ago).
Studying music in college/university-is it worth it?
It depends entirely on your reason for going to college and what sort of music specialty you study. If you're going to college so that you can graduate and get a high paying job then a degree in music is going to disappoint you. Engineering or math would be better for that. If you're going to college because you want to be a public school music teacher - then a degree in music (music education) is the only way to do it. If you're going to college because you want to become a professional performer then the experience can make a difference if 1) you have talent 2) your school is among the best (Juilliard, Berklee, etc) You refine your art and make contacts there. Playing for a living is everything about ability and contacts and nothing about where you went to college (except that good colleges produce good musicians with good contacts). Studying performance in college doesn't eliminate the "studying themselves and/or taking regular music lessons". Being a music major involves both of those in addition to your college classes. If you're going to college because you want to develop your mind and become a well rounded and educated participant in society but aren't so concerned about finding a job later - Music is about as good as any other of the liberal arts. If you're going to college because everyone else is going to college and it's just a place for you to hang out for four years without entering the "real world" - it really doesn't matter what you major in.
How does online schooling (high school) work?
Online schooling can be pretty terrible. When home schooling, you have great freedom, and an ability to completely escape the intellectual stifling of the mind that is the institutional classroom. With the very linear, one-dimensional approach that is typical of online schools, you abandon that freedom, mostly to gain the ability of the teacher/parent to abdicate his proper role in the home school.I’ve seen questions on Quora from computer-taught students who have shirked their instruction for months, and their parents aren’t even aware that their students aren’t pursuing their education.So while they may work well for students that need and like a highly structured environment, they are not likely to be appropriate to the needs of a student that needs to be freed from regimentation and needs to become self-motivated to learn. Online schools are an institutionalized treadmill that don’t teach students the love of learning.Of course, that is a generalization, and people are different.
What online or distance learning programs are most respected by employers?
You need to distinguish between merely "for profit universities" - those that are usually only online institutions - and those programs which are offered in an online format but part of a larger, traditional school. Online education has become synonymous with "for profit" with a lot of folks because they are often one in the same...And believe me, dad is right, you don't want this ! They cost twice as much as a, well, a real school, and are a lot less respected. The reasons for this are varied, but mainly because they're instructors are poorly credentialed, and "for profit" means they're first and foremost trying to make a profit rather than conduct research/educate. This being the case they admit nearly anyone, graduate nearly everyone, take your money, and leave you with a subpar education. Employers see through this. However, there are correspondence or online courses at many major universities where you can still do the majority of work at home, and maybe take exams on Saturday or in the evenings. Try and look into some of these, although I have no suggestions as to where. Good luck, I realize your situation is tough.
