  21. Tiff, Nothing at will help you more than the required & recommended text in each class, except the APA book. You will need ONLY the format they tell you to buy & that exact edition. You will...
  22. I work in New Orleans and the job market (from what I've heard) is though for new grads everywhere (in the U.S. that is). Therefore, you have to offer some things other new grads can't. Join a few...
