Hello all, I graduated from college last August with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts (Graphic Design/Photography as my concentration.) Coming out of school I have found that I did not receive a lot of the teaching necessary for these roles and am st...

I was approved for a loan for summer classes but I am a little confused on the disbursement information. According to sallie mae and ivy tech's websites they will not be disbursed until the 1st and 16th of July. My classes start at the beginning of J...

yeah i have a $25 late fee right now too, i really hope they take it off, because that is not fair.

Actually I have read the opposite, that if they don't have work for you, you are SOL. I was hoping this wasn't true. I really hope you are right. :/

I would go with the second one. It is closer and you even said you would like to work there when you are done. As the previous poster said, you may get pulled in on some things that could get you some good experience, and it may open the door for you...

What bothers me is that a "C" used to mean average, not "bottom of the barrel." I don't imagine school work has gotten any easier, so why should I "C" now look like a "D" or an "F"? Personally, I am never happy with a "C" though I have had my share o...

I am starting the prereqs soon, and I have to say I've been pretty scared too, but there are a couple of things I remind myself to keep from going too crazy. 1. Other people's levels of difficulty are not yours. 2. Someone else's definition of "free ...

13 pounds is nothing to sneer at! If I am counting right, that sounds like almost 2lbs. a week which is excellent! That's a healthy amount to be losing. Good luck and keep it up!

Hey all, I'm going to be signing up for the first ANP soon and I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to which professor I should aim for (or avoid!)... I think I read somewhere that posting names is not allowed, so if it's ok I'd appreciate it ...

I finally decided that this was something I wanted to do, and was very sure about my decision... for a while. Now I am just reading so much from people who HATE their jobs and it is really freaking me out. I realize this is a place to vent and not ev...

Thank you so much everyone. This really made me feel a lot better, and more confident about my decision. Also, you are right Daytonite. I need to stop letting other people's experiences determine how I will handle mine. I am sure there have been a l...

I hope your new career works out! Pharmacy always seemed kinda interesting to me too. Though I do have to say that I wouldn't turn your nose up at $20/hr. right now. My fiance just graduated with a bachelor's degree in new media (sound and video prod...

thanks everyone, i signed up for JB!

Ouch, that is pretty awful. Our plan is to live in a 2-bedroom apartment around that rate too. My biggest fear is our student loans. I have a lot from a previous degree and the payments are a monster. I'm hoping that with 2 of us it won't be too bad,...

That sucks. I guess it just scares the crap out of me after hearing how hard the work is and how little appreciation you get. You'd think you'd at least be comfortable (though not filthy rich.) What if I plan to just pay off my student loans, rent a...

All this talk of not being able to pay bills without over time really scares me. Are you getting paid very little or do you just have a lot of bills? One would think that full-time work would be enough to keep a person afloat, especially in a job lik...

I can tell you also, that that much debt, they will ask for more like $600/month if you don't try to lower it and extend your payments. I know someone with exactly that much debt and that is how much Sallie Mae wanted before they called and told them...

It looks like this thread is on its last legs, but I can't help but put in my 2 cents. I am currently working on my pre-reqs before nursing school. I have a bachelor's degree already in another field. Now, as it as been stated many times here you do ...

The thing about this job is, the only fulfillment I get from it is when I do make a sale. The work is very dull. I don't want to learn to hate photography because of this job. If there are other jobs out there for photographers, they sure are hiding....

thirdtime- I thought that was what may have happened! With this job, am doing what I went to school for, but of course it isn't the type of photography I would prefer. I am ok with that, but it's definitely no dream job. The biggest issue I have w...

Thanks for the responses. Let me be clear though that I had considered Nursing before the economy got so bad, I just didn't know if I'd be able to do it. And I know just what you mean by "If all ____ majors went into nursing, the market would dry up....
