Q&A: Can someone help me decide which path to take?

Question by : Can someone help me decide which path to take?
First of all I’m 27 years old with 2 Associate degrees: 1 in Human Service & the other in Medical Assisting. I am headed to University to pursue my Bachelors. Orginally my plan was to become a Social Worker & run my Photography business on the side. Problem is, the school I’ve been accepted to does not offer any digital photography courses. I obviously can’t work as a Social Worker until I get the degree, but I could work as a Photographer right now except that I do not have the technical & marketing skills necessary to run a sucessful business. As it looks now, I won’t be able to pursue my photography for another 3 years.
Today, just for research purposes, I decided to meet with an academic advisor at an upper-class Photography school. After they reviewed my portfolio they said my photos are above-average for someone with no professional training; They even wrote me a positive recommendation for admission to the Photojournalism program!
Now I’m really torn!!! I like Social Work for personal reasons & it seems less competitive than the photography business. Thing is I’d also like to become a foster parent in the future & having a home-based business would be ideal. Either way I want to own & run my own business. period. Maybe do photography first & the do Social Work later if I still want to, but I’m not getting any younger & I would like to be done with school & setting down. Is getting a degree in Photography worth it to own my own business? How much is too much to spend on education & training in Photojournalism? What about Marketing skills?
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!!!!!! I have until July 1st to make the decision to affirm enrollment for Fall 2011. I’ve already been accepted to one college so what should I do??? I currently live in Central/Western, New York.
Social Work or Photography????????? One is my ultimate dream, but the other seems more realistic. I am passionate about both. I can’t afford to change my mind once I get into University. This is my crossroad……………

What are the medical issues for elderly people why they live to nursing homes?

Question by bhupinder k: What are the medical issues for elderly people why they live to nursing homes?

Best answer:

Answer by Angela R
Many elderly go to nursing homes due to family members not being able to care for them efficiently. It could be as minor as they do not have the time, or it could be due to the person having dementia, alzheimer’s, parkinson’s or any other severe disease. Also some people have blood disorders or have severe diabetes that requires “nursing” capabilities. Some families just do not feel comfortable and would rather have a skilled facility take care of their family member.

Unless each apartment has a spot numbered for their unit, the parking is up for grabs. That’s always something to consider when you look to rent a place.

Q&A: Question about beginning a job in graphic design?

Question by Moey: Question about beginning a job in graphic design?
I’m currently 17 and I’m still in highschool. I know a lot about CSS and HTML, I practically live on the computer and have been playing around with coding and designing as a hobby for years now. I grew up using freewebs and other free hosting sites, and I am also pretty much 100% photoshop literate.
I see job openings all the time where I’m from, saying that they are seeking inexperienced junior level developers to assist with client projects. They say that the requirements are just some HTML/CSS skills, and an overall idea of how to create and modify graphics and images in PhotoShop. I have always wanted to consider these types of jobs, but I’m always worried about that they will expect of me? I don’t know much about scripts, and I have only really created fun blogging type websites for me and my friend’s personal use, so what will I be asked to do in these kind of jobs? What will they expect of me?
Also when it comes to designing a portfolio, or showing examples, does anyone know of some websites proving tips and such? Thanks !

Answer by Patrick Lambert
Designers don’t need to worry about PHP scripts, they typically make PSD mockups. Developers translate them to PHP scripts and such.

Why are there only three basic options for living?

Question by : Why are there only three basic options for living?
There’s only work. college, or the military. Why does our society make living so refined? I don’t really care about that part. Does anyone know if there are MORE options to life (and not general values like loving relationships, or whatever). I feel so stuck as a senior in high school and taking college classes yet having no idea what I want to be.

Answer by ONE
Or a bum, so actually there is 4.

College App Short Essay?

Question by : College App Short Essay?
Hi there!

Im filling out a college application and I want you to proof read and comment on my essay. I am applying for a nursing major and the question prompt is:

Describe your professional nursing goals, including your personal definition of nursing and concept of career opportunities in this field.

Here is my short essay response:

Being a registered nurse is far greater than setting a cast of a young boy’s broken arm, or taking the vitals of a woman with the seasonal flu. A nurse interacts with the patient and provides support to the family more than anyone else during their medical visit. Luke 9:2 states “and He sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick”. Nursing is not only treating the hospitalized, but empowering them to live their life for God, themselves and their family, in whatever mentality they are able. With the vast opportunities in the nursing field, I can assist anyone, from a family welcoming a new baby, or helping another family cope with the loss of a loved one.

I appreciate all responses and critiques!

Thank you very much

Howard Storm-How many of you believe Howard Storms story of going to hell & dying and leaving his body?

Question by Mr.Funeral: Howard Storm-How many of you believe Howard Storms story of going to hell & dying and leaving his body?
If you have Com cast on demand you can watch the whole episode of In Search Of(paranormal TV)

but first read this

In June 1985, Storm took a group of his students on a field trip of Europe. One morning at the end of the trip, while still in his hotel with his wife, he experienced sudden severe abdominal pain that incapacitated him. He was taken to a Paris hospital, and he suffered for hours. He ultimately would be diagnosed with peritonitis.[1]

Storm describes in his book that he felt he was dying, and after saying goodbye to his wife, eventually passed out. He writes in his book that he did not understand what was happening when he soon opened his eyes again and found himself standing outside of his body. He was allegedly drawn by seemingly-friendly voices calling his name and he followed them, but eventually realized that they were malevolent. They turned on him and attacked him savagely in the darkness. His book chronicles an experience that involved him being severely beaten, bitten and torn to pieces by many of these shadowy creatures, and though he managed to survive he experienced severe pain. His overall impression was of a process of “initiation”.

He later felt a voice within him telling him to “Pray to God” and half-heartedly recited fragments of religious material. They were gradually driven away. After a time of deep despair, he resorted to calling out “Jesus, please save me!”. He was rescued from that dark place by a being of light that he believes was Jesus, and he was also visited by other “spiritual beings of light” as well. He soon experienced a life review, which he found to be intensely discomforting because it highlighted the selfishness of his life. To his surprise they were more interested in his relationships than his personal achievements. he was then asked by the beings if he had any questions, and he says that he proceeded to ask them every question that he could think of.

He states that at one point he asked about the near-future of his country (the United States) and says that he was told that the US was a “blessed nation”, but if it did not change its ways it would lose its prosperity. This was in no way portrayed as a punishment of God but rather as a natural consequence. He saw visions of a future plagued by war, natural disasters and despair. It is important to note that he was told that this scenario was avoidable if there was a major spiritual “shift” in the consciousness of the world.

The core of his message was primarily about the importance of love and peaceful unity among people, who he says are “all loved by God”. He constantly reiterates the importance of caring for others and seeking spiritual truth. In his book he states that he was informed by these beings of light that the “correct religion” is that religion that “brings you closest to God”, negating his attempt to force them to say that one specific religion or denomination was “the only correct one”. . He states that the deepest desire of these beings is only to serve “the One” (which humans refer to as “God”), and part of their acts of service include assisting humanity to “return to the One”.

He eventually was admitted into surgery at that French hospital, and several days later he was flown to the U.S., where he eventually made a complete recovery. According to Storm’s statements, most of the doctors stated that there was no way that he should have been able to live through the amount of damage his body sustained.

It depends on what you consider a “good salary” and “comfortable”. Those are not only subjective terms, but vary WIDELY from one city to the next in some cases.
