Taking High School courses online?
I'm 14 years old and currently in 8th grade. I take Algebra 1 and Spanish 2, they're the only credits I've received. I have a few questions, if anyone could answer them, it would be lovely of you. :) I signed up for florida virtual counselor courses but I honestly have no idea about anything. How long does a course take? Would you/ have you done it yourself as well? Any benefits for you, and any advice? I really want to finish school as quick as possible, and taking college classes in highschool can save me money and hopefully, rise my chances of a scholarship. I want to be a Respiratory Therapist when I'm older, so I was thinking about taking Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Pre-Calc all in highschool. Is that a good idea? Thank you very much! If any of you guys have any advice and could actually talk to me one on one, you can email me at biz2089@yahoo.com :)
I’m 14 and i want to be an actress need advice please?
hi i’m 14 and i know i have some time to think about what i’m going to be. i just have this huge feeling that i want to be an actress really bad and think i actually could be an actress. my plan was to go to college and get a bachelors degree incase an actress isn’t what i turn out to be. but i would move to la and get a part time job so i can pay rent at an apartment and look for acting parts. the only problem is i’m kinda shy but when i’m around people i’m comfortable with i’m very loud. i would like some advice on if i should be one or not and some advice on how to start off and stuff (i do not have any acting experience but i’m think to myself that it shouldn’t be hard and i can be serious when i’m actually on a set) also i know that like only 1 percent make it and stuff.
I am only 14 years old and I am asked what course I want for college. I'm being pressured and I don't know what I want. What should I do?
Take a deep breath. You won’t make any good decisions while panicking.Just reflect on what you like to do and/or study. Be practical. (Do you like computers and technology? Or do you prefer to study anatomy, biology and the like?) Do you have a favorite subject? What wouldn’t you mind learning about? Make a list that you can refer to for later purposes.Research your potential careers. (Using that list from above, you can cross off jobs that disinterest you.) If you find a disheartening feature in a career, don’t study it.Finalize your decision. You can always change your decision. It sounds as though you are in high school. Although your school may have courses that can accelerate you in the college process, like AP exams and the like, you don’t always have to continue your education in that field.I am assuming that you want to study something that you enjoy and work in a field that you like, rather working in a field that you hate.I hope this helps. I’ll update this once I have more time.
Do Coursera courses count as an extra-curricular?
This depends on a lot of factors. You might personally consider them as Extracurricular activities but what's to say that the person examining your application will look at them in the same light? It depends a lot on what schools you want to apply to, and, more importantly, who's judging your résumé. To be safe, I would definitely not put it on my application, and I would suggest that you don't as well, but furthermore, why would you want to? If you've looked at the Common App. before (the standard application for most colleges), then you would see that above every Extracurricular Activity is "Positions held, honors won, letters earned, or employer". Why would you want to put something so restricting and uninteresting as an additional class on an application where other applicants would be putting Varsity Sports, Clubs, Internships, etc. Not trying to bash on the idea, but it would put you at a serious disadvantage. Link to the Common App. if you want to see for yourself: https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/defa...
I am 14 Job interveiw? I need some advise! please?
congratulations on wanting to get a job!!!Yes you will need to show them your working permit. A resume is a brag sheet on yourself...since this is your first job I would put the clubs that I belong to and any voluntary work that I did..and anything I have been in or done for the church like youth choir or even school plays. You should dress for the job you want for instance if you get a job at macy's I would dress really nice if you are trying to get a job at the gap or something like that I would suggest khakies on a polo....Good luck to you
I’m 14 and I have a class where I need to set a goal. It has to be longer than the end of the semester. I know many kids who are making career goals, but I have no idea what I want to do. Any ideas of good goals?
Here's a cheeky solution:There are plenty of recruiters who place candidates for jobs. How about researching your classmates career choices as your project? Get data on how choosing each category choice affects people in that profession, from newly qualified, onwards. Things like: what they have to get qualifications in before they are employed; how well paid they will be; what other options for study and career expansion they have; how many people are currently employed doing the main categories in your city. Will they have to move to get qualified, or employed?Extrapolate the economic consequences of career categories. What will their dollars buy them? How big a house? Where are their future co workers on the happiness/quality of life scale? It's a thing.This way you get a good project, you can design an actual survey of pre career candidates and get solid, easily available data from the Net.Try talking to a recruiting company, to see what they do. One of those activities will possibly help you, but be aware that adults having up to 3 careers in a lifetime is actually the new normal. The recruitment company have a procedure for accepting candidates before they even get sent to interviews. You may like to find out about it.This way you get to window shop and look great at the same time!Good luck!
If I have no experience working on cars, how do I learn to become and and get a job as an automotive mechanic?
I'm going to be very blunt with you, not to be rude, but to get the point across to you about what you are really getting into. So here's my experience.I went to technical school straight out of the military, got a 4.0 and won a handful of awards. The program I went through is now about $50k. This got me into a manufacturer run Mercedes-Benz training which today will cost you around $20k. Aced that program too. All of this qualified me to start as an apprentice at $14 an hour at a dealership. I averaged $8k in tool purchases a year for the next decade as I moved up the ranks to assistant foreman at $32 an hour. I also spent another $20k in education to stay current with technology. We're you keeping track? That was $170,000 to become an excellent tech for a luxury brand all for take home net pay of about $50k per year.It was long hard hours of bloody knuckles and sore backs in sweltering and freezing garages, with customers that held no value in the extreem complexity of your hard work, killing yourself for management with no appreciation for your efforts or the cost of your education and tooling, and playing bs games with warranty policy paperwork to get burned on almost every job. The years of simple cars and high pay have gone the way of the 8track my friend.Take the same educational investment over 10 years, go to med school. Then tinker with your fleet of hotrods and supercars in your own garage between tee times at your local country club.The best investment I made was to take junior college classes part time the whole time I was working. Two classes a semester was simple and enjoyable. When I got injured in the shop and was looking at the end of my career I already had an AS in business management and blasted out my BS in Business administration in under a year. Most guys in the shop have nothing to fall back on and their life as they know it ends the moment their body fails.My education has taken me farther in the last 3 years than a wrench took me in 14, and I was the go to guy in the shop. Now I travel globally, meet incredible people, and make a much more comfortable living working with my mind, and using my hands and tools for fun at home.
