A. Education is never a waste of time. Do something that will keep your mind occupied and pay the bills, for now. Keep sending resumes out for the field you are qualified to be in. Have you thought of volunteering? A lot of career doors are opened through volunteering. Build a network of contacts by attending seminars or workshops geared to your field of study. Think positive. It's when you release positive energy into the universe that positives come back to you. Good luck. Keep smiling :)

I'm confused about the academic degree process. ?
Q. Ok, so I'm a sophomore in High School, and my sister and her friends are applying for colleges at this point in time. But I'm confused about the whole process of academic degrees. When you first go to college, you a get a Bachelor's degree, right? How long does this take? Is it the same thing as "undergrad"? Then what do you get... A masters? Doctorate? How long do these take? Do you need one to get the other? When do you do this? Right after your first degree? Where do you do this? The school where you got your bachelors? What about things that you need "graduate" for -- ex. law. Is this different from a master's or doctorate? If someone could just explain the whole process to me, that would be great. Thanks a lot!

A. There are a lot of degrees that you can get from a college. The first one is a bachelor's degree or your undergrad degree. That usually takes 4 years to get (you can do it in less time if you take more classes per term). After you get your undergrad (bachelors degree) you can get your masters degree. That degree can take any amount of time depending on what you get it it. You can get your masters degree in any number of areas including education business, etc. After the masters you can get a doctorate, which is very intensive work, which can take any number of years to complete. There is a huge paper at the end of the doctorate degree that a lot of people don't want to write because it takes a long time and a lot of research to do it. You… [cont.]

Cannot get academic reference for master degree application?
Q. I'm applying to do my masters in the UK, Sept 2010. I'm a "mature student", meaning I graduated uni 6 yrs ago. Because of this, most of my prof dont remember me and some have retired; therefore I cannot get a proper reference for my application. I already have a work reference. Will universities accept an application with two work referneces instead? If not, what are my alternatives?
Asked by kataj - Sun Nov 15 11:19:59 2009 - Higher Education (University +) - 2 Answers - Comments
A. You must check with the university that you are applying for, as they all have different requirements for applications. At some universities two employment references might be acceptable, but for others, an application won't be considered valid without an academic reference. You just need to find a lecturer or professor still working at the university with whom you studied. Even if they don't remember you, as long as the reference can confirm that you undertook the subject and/or the degree and provide details of the grades you received, it will be acceptable as an academic reference. The most important thing is that you follow the requirements of the university. In many places, if an application is not complete, it cannot be considered.… [cont.]

Translating UK MBA degree to US academic system?
Q. My partner has an MBA (with distinction) from a UK-based university that has been AACSB and AMBA accredited. He wishes to apply for an adjunct teaching position in a US university and wondered whether his degree would be considered disfavourably because it is not from the US. Additionally, while he did a disssertation, we realized that the US MBA programs generally do not require theses or dissertations ... In fact, the dissertations appear to be normally done at the doctoral level. How would his degree be rated if a conversion were done? Who are the best people from whom a conversion could be done?

A. A UK MBA is considered equivalent to a USA MBA. However, someone with a UK MBA will have trouble getting a job in the USA unless he has significant experience. It is unlikely for your friend to get an adjunct teaching position in the USA even in a low-grade teaching college. There are too many out-of-work Ph Ds and DBAs to compete with.

A. Masters level courses generally look for students with a 1st or 2.1. PGCE courses that offer Masters modules accept students with 2:2s - but it does limit you to Education based Master's courses. If you live in the UK - most University funding comes from the government with you paying only a small fraction of what is needed (will change when fees go up). If a student doesn't finish the course or cannot cope with the course and therefore drops out, then the University will loose part of the funding they get from the Government. The Universities, therefore, only want students who are academically able and bright.

Do Jehovahs Witnesses encourage getting an academic college degree BA or higher?
Q. Yes or no. If yes, please provide documentation of the Watchtower actually encouraging the acheiving of University degrees.

A. It totally depends on your field, your degree of "networking" hustle, and a whole bunch of factors. To say yes, is totally generalized. To say no is not specific enough either. Some people who've dropped out of high school earn $300K/year because they have learned to hustle themselves in the world. People who've earned Ph D's could earn $30,000, or $300,000, depending on what they do. When I left university, a new grad job for someone with a Masters Degree in Sciences was about $10,000/year more than someone with a Bachelors, for a given large telecom company.

A. Academic degrees include associates, bachelors, masters, and Ph D. Professional degrees require you to hold a bachelors to apply to them and include medicine, law, vet, dentist, pharmacist, etc. There are a few sites offering online masters and Ph Ds, but only a few are respected and you can't do this in every field. The ones that are through a normal university are probably the best way to go.

Earning a 2nd Degree, Do I have to take general academic classes too?

A. Usually yes, but it really depends on your college's policies about transfer credits and whether the gen-ed requirements for one degree are the same as the other. Your best bet would be to see an academic adviser who will be able to tell you for sure which classes you will and will not need to take.
