Interesting...you chose two people (Edison and Einstein) who were both eventually recognized as having learning disabilities.  

In regard to your point about teens following celebrity issues, I felt an opportunity was lost when Fantasia from American Idol came out and admitted that she was illiterate.  Here was a situation where education could've been discussed...and the advantages of online learning could be brought to light. The good news is that I've heard she's ...

SteveFoerster:Of course you're putting down other schools.  What's positive about saying that a liberal arts curriculum won't help people "in the real world" and comparing Ivy League schools to "garbage"? -=Steve=-  Hear hear!!!  Furthermore, if you believe that the "trials and errors of the ...

Terry, that was my first thought as well: it sounds like a for-profit school.  Sounds like Jenni's advisor is trying to hit a quota...and filling out financial aid info is considered a good indicator as to whether she'll enroll.  Jenni, if you are still interested in this school, put the advisor on the spot.  Ask her ...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/03/05/student.loans/index.html One of the options I didn't see mentioned was a graduated payback option.  When I was first starting out paying back my loans, there was a program that allowed you to start out paying smaller amounts, and then within a number of years your payment increased by an ...

word of warning: a lot of bigger companies WILL verify your education.

It's worth noting...you also get the respect of your superiors.  In taking the lead and implementing someone's idea, you show leadership skills in working with a team, sharing ideas and making ideas happen.

It's always good to know that the punishment for the offenders will be a lovely stay at Camp Cupcake, while the people trying to improve their lives through education will be punished with a big fat rejection letter for financial aid.  Let's hope that the reduction to the deficit (*cough*) is worth No Poor Young Adult Not Left ...

Thank you Anne, for giving everyone a list of scholarship sites: http://moms.elearners.com/blogs/axia_college_university_of_phoenix/archive/2007/12/29/money-for-college.aspx 

Just a word of warning to those industrious to look the school up in CHEA...they aren't in that database [yet?].  When I went to the Middle States Assoc. of Colleges and Schools site, I saw that London Metropolitan University  was accredited in June of 2007.  So it looks like their Regional accreditation is very recent.

Thank you so much; this is great information. 

Hello back! So...how do you feel about taking classes online?  Why did you choose online instead of brick-and-mortar?  What interests you about law school (are you in a Criminal Justice program now)?    

#1 on your list is a good point.  I've seen some people make it work.  But I've also seen an employee and her boss caught in a passionate kiss by the regional HR manager [d'oh!].  Another caveat is that it can limit your career options if the person you're involved with plays a role in the job functions of a higher ...

Okay, Cajun, now I gotta know....what did your boss do to "earn" his promotion with his boss?????? I kid, I kid.... :) To expand on one of Cajun's points, I would say whether it's the company phone or whether it's your cell phone, personal calls should be kept to an absolute minimum.  I'd even say especially not cell phones, as ...
