Childsplay agency........?

We Answered:

From what I heard and read, you're never supposed to pay an agency to have your pictures taken. Plus they don't accept credit card, which is kind of weird.

I'd be very careful if I were you!

Careers that sound right for me or suggestions...the more detail the better please?

We Answered:

Okay, to be honest I am a little confused reading your prospective career route, for example you state a desire to "apply my education to the working world ASAP" then beyond your next paragraph you state an attraction for having a Postgraduate degree or higher.

My initial though is that this is a contradictory statement requiring more clarity.

If you could define for us how you see your education working in the world then I can possibily give you a better structural guideline of more benefit to you, I realise you are looking for suggestions and might not necessarily have the answer to this but I do feel you could be more specific in your use of language and grammar. That would help us no end and we could better focus an answer to suit your current needs.

I really want to support in a positive manner but need a little more definition, maybe pop up another post as an edit addition stating such.


Edit:

Thanks for additional info Aeon,

Certainly discuss options with the Support Careers Advisor from your University graduate course because they have the motive to see their ex students flourish professsionally and also they have connections with industries who offer graduate places.

As to Postgraduate study this depends upon your particular line of enquiry, a taught Masters or a specific reseach degree in a specialist subject and is invariably driven by the ever changing demands of your career choice. I see your dilemma entirely on this one, two years taken up on an M.A or M.Sc or move into the workplace consolidate your ideas and then move forward establishing your work ethic. Moving forward might not take you down the postgrad reseach route either, or you may feel that you don't even need to go that way at all if you become content in your job.

Possibly an appointment also with the course tutor / leader from your undergraduate course would be helpful to sort out a few loose strands of thinking, either way I wouldn't panic just keep options open and stay focussed.

Base line is you know what you are good at, you are familiar with your degree subject matter and lines of enquiry, your next decison taken needs to be based on the criteria and specifics required in your career path, e.g does the job you seek ultimately offer greater benefits through subscription to Postgrad study, hence discussing matters with you course tutor/student careers advisor. A line of postgrad study may not even be known to you at this stage or for the next few years indeed but in reality only you can really make these decisions for yourself of course.

Hope this is of some help, good luck for the future in whatever choice you make.

Good Luck!

What classes should I take this Fall?

We Answered:

A few thoughts:

First, don't take calculus. Engineering programs (and business/finance programs) all use higher math in subtly different ways -- for example, an a civil engineering undergraduate would take a calculus course that focused on real-world problem solving, whereas someone destined for a computer science theory degree would probably take Analysis, which is the same thing but from a much more fundamental and theoretical approach, including formal proofs. And a finance/business student might focus on a program of stochastic processes using a simplified calculus approach as basis. So you should hold off on calculus until you've chosen a field to pursue.

Second, you said that you don't think you'd like civil engineering or finance. Why not find out for sure? Take an introductory engineering or finance class. If you hate it, then you'll know.

Finally, if you really love music theory, as you say it's your dream, then honestly you should plan to pursue that. Ultimately, you must love what you're doing if you're pursuing a graduate degree in it, or else you will fail out. My graduate class was composed of 20 entering PhD students, and of them, only four (including me) eventually earned the doctorate. The rest had been told that the field was lucrative, that there were a lot of jobs, that they were good at it, or whatever -- but when they got done with their coursework and faced the task of real, original research, they lost all desire to continue, and were left with three lost years and several thousands of dollars in debt.

Regardless, good luck to you!

Very important question on choosing job?

We Answered:

Well depending on where you live there are many different sites. If you can choose a site that ends in .org or .gov. Indiana, where I live, has a site for teenagers. It can match you up with potential jobs and help you through college and high school. So check what your state might have.

Umm heres some that I've been too, you could use them. It even has a college matcher. But uhh check it out.
