I’m looking into becoming an online school teacher and I was curious to know how much they get paid, do they get paid hourly or salary and since it’s distant learning and all the people live throughout the world, how do you get paid? How much is it that virtual teachers usually get? For example: If I worked for the University of Phoenix online. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi…I have a B.A. in Psychology that I attained from Oral Roberts University in 2003. I have been working in the field of social services for the last 6 years. I do not want to further my education in anything related to social services (i.e. counseling, therapist, etc). I would like to pursue a Master’s in something under the umbrella of IT. I also am looking to go online for school as I work full time and I just don’t want to have to go to a traditional school if I don’t have to. I have done a semester online at ITT Tech a couple of years ago and enjoyed the online experience. I was working on an Associate’s in Computer Forensics. I actually am highly fascinated with this field so I would like to pursue it at the graduate level.

In the master’s arena, it is not usually called Computer Forensics however. I also am interested in learning how to program different applications on the computer. What program would encompass computer security AND computer programming (software engineering)?

I have been debating between a few online colleges: (1)Kaplan (which has a Master of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Information Security and Assurance). (2)University of Phoenix has a Master of Information Systems. This one is kind of broad but does have courses in information security and computer programming. (3) Virginia College has a Master of Science in Cybersecurity. This one is very specific and no computer programming courses. (4) Keller Graduate School of Management has a Master of Information Systems Management with a concentration in Information Security. Lastly, (5) AIU has a Master of Information Technology with a concentration in Internet security. Now, these are just the colleges that I have researched and I have spoken with the academic advisors and am considering attending (I’ve actually researched a few more but for whatever reason, I eliminated them).

Out of the 5 online schools that I mentioned, are there any that you would personally not consider and why?? I have heard good stories and I have heard horror stories. All 5 of the schools I mentioned are accredited. Can you offer any other colleges or programs for that matter that may be a better fit that I can look into based off of the information that I have given you about myself??

I know I’ve written a lot of information. I just feel like the academic advisors at these specific schools are biased and I would love an unbiased point of view Also, let me add this one last thing as a sidenote, I used to work with therapists as the case worker for sexually abused children. Our agency worked alongside the police department, sheriff’s department, district attorney’s office, etc., etc. This is when I really became involved in computer forensics, because I would love to know how to go into a suspect’s computer and recover lost data that they think they erased (i.e. a pedophile with child pornography) and that is what the degree should provide for me. And as I said earlier, I would also like to know how to actually program applications or software on the computer that can be used in that field or even in other unrelated fields. Please help…I am trying to make a decision by the end of the year with hopes of starting school in early 2010. I know I’ve said a lot and have written a book but this is actually the narrowed down version since I first started this process….

Thank you for your input…"

Hi guys. I’m an African American high school senior and I want to double major in International Relations and Poli. Sci. I love traveling and I always keep up with contemporary foreign affairs; I find the international platform very intriguing and interesting. I’m not sure if I should apply to Georgetown’s Walsh School of Foreign Service under early action or not because I’m not confident in my stats. I think I have a chance but will it be more strategic for me to apply early action or regular decision? Here are my stats:

-4.0 unweighted GPA. 4.4 weighted .
-salutatorian .
-1740 SAT . . .ughh =/ . . 570 M, 560 CR & 610 W
- 26 ACT. . ehh
-AP Biology: 5
AP World: 4
AP US: 4
AP Environmental Sci: 4 (I independently studied this course)
AP English Lang: 3

-SATII: World History-740
Biology-710
United States History:740

-1st generation for college, single parent household, less than 29k/year. 3 younger siblings. I have to work to contribute to income.

-Student Advisory Council Secretary, President
-Freshman President
-Sophomore Secretary
-Active NAACP member
-Over 200 hours of Community Service
-President of Epsilon Chi Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa
-Founder of my school’s Freshman Mentoring Program
-Model UN Vice-President
-Drum player in the concert band for 7 years
-Active National Honor Society member
-Co-Founder and VP of a Literary Club
-Science/English Honor Societies & Mu Alpha Theta
-Head Tutor at the local Community Action Partnership for 3 years
-Columbia University SPREP alumna
-Won an extremely competitive scholarship from National Geographic to go on a student expedition to Tanzania, in which I completed 32 hours of community service by inserting a water pipe for agricultural use.
-People to People Student Ambassadors Alumna: Europe; afforded through conducting plenty of fundraisers and sending letters to my family.

I know I have to improve my SAT score. I’m trying so hard and I can’t afford to go to prep classes. However, I purchased the collegeboard review book and I find whatever I can online that would help me out. I believe that my standardized test scores are holding me back and that’s the main reason why I’m insecure about applying early. I just hope that the admit officers can look besides that .

I want colleges to see me for the individual I am, as opposed to some incompetent test scores that say absolutely nothing about my academic potential. I know I can do better, but I need a chance to show them. Do you think that by being a low-income African American male that my chances of getting accepted will be a little better?

Help with college search?

I’m going to be a high school senior this coming school year and I’m terrified of the entire college search process. How do I go about organizing a list without being completely daunted by the amount available to me?

Thank you!

How can I get home schooled online?

I was thinking of being home schooled, my parents talk about me being in one most of the time. My school is not the greatest on the planet. Everyone doesn’t like me, and teachers don’t feel like helping me.
I’m in 11th grade, but have to complete a few other last year classes.
Is there a accredited online home school program that will offer all the courses and classes I need to graduate?
I live in Georgia by the way.

I have spent the last 16 years in nursing. ( I originally went into nursing because I was unemployed and nobody would give me a job and I created a new career as a nurse for myself).

I have hated nursing, but have stuck with it because I have had two children to provide for and my wife has always worked part time. Now I have had enough.

I have lost my job as a nurse because I have fallen out with my employers. Because of something they have done – not me.

I don’t want to spend a single second working as a nurse again. I have worked in all kinds of nursing jobs. Medical wards, surgical wards, A &E, clinics , agency and bank etc

Now I feel like I am on the scrapheap at 38. I have just started to sign on and claim benefits but I just want to be happy and to have a happy job and career.

I have always wanted to write and that has always been my dream and I really hope to do that one day but it won’t pay the bills yet ! But I feel it is what I was born to do.

I do read the tarot cards and am thinking of trying my luck at doing it full time ( as a business) but don’t know if I can make enough money by doing that ? I do enjoy it. And I have made small amounts of money online by helping people with my readings.

I wouldn’t mind becoming a photographer but that seems a long way off and there doesn’t seem much chance of that making money. Considering I can’t even afford a flippin camera !
I wouldn’t mind becoming a freelance journalist for local papers but I’m not sure how I can go about getting stories and I have no journalism degrees etc.

Most of the jobs in the job centre are really poor pay compared to nursing and I am scared to death of being on the dole forever.

I am feeling pretty low one minute and optimistic the next.

I can’t affird to do any big courses to retrain. I have debts ( about £ 7000 ) and a degree is out of the question.

One option is just to spend the rest of my life being a journey man and doing different jobs for the rest of my life, no matter how crappy they sound. That way I will get lots of new skills and even variety. Maybe I would even find a job I like. I have worked as a nurse for so long , I really have no experience in doing anything else.

Please please if anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it. Its christmas and I feel like my life has sunk like the titanic and at 38 I am not a young man or an old man.

Please help,

Paul

A brief background ( incase you are still reading)

I was bullied psychologically and physically at school from the age of 7 -15. I recieved no help or counselling and as a result I failed all my exams. Not for want of trying. I went to college and passed all the exams over 2 years and was all set for a career in law. Passed to Alevels and then met a girl. Got engaged and her family persuaded me to pack it in and get a job in a camping shop, which I hated. ( I was foolish, I should have told them to mind their own business. But foolishly I listened)

Then she lreft me for another guy and over the next months I lost my job, spent a while on the dole and then worked my way up in nursing.

And here I am all these years later.

I am sorry this question is so long and I really appreciate your time in reading it. But I just need some help and advice. I want to build my life up again.

Paul
I have also been think of perhaps training somehow to be a counseller, that way I can do something positive to help other people. Instead of looking back at my childhood in anger. Not sure if this is easy though.

I’ve already taken:
Physical science, freshmen year.
Biology, sophomore year.

I didn’t take one this year, so I gotta make up for it next year, but I was thinking of taking an extra science course "online"; since my school offers that.
I suck at science, so which course would be best for me?

Choose out of the following:
Marine Science
Environmental Science
Chemistry
Physics
Anatomy

College search engine?

I need a search engine for colleges that searches by the types of excellent programs they have. For instance, I want to be an author. I want to find a college that has an nationally acclaimed program in English, writing, or literature. What search engine will do that for you?

Aventa Learning Courses Online, accredited, prices?

I have been looking for an online home school option that provides quality courses for a while now as most of the ones I have looked at offer what appears to be second hand courses or courses that are just wasteful.

After hours of research I finally stumbled upon a program called Aventa, which offers many an AP course and tons of others which is exactly what I was looking for. However, after browsing the site for a while I could not find any information regarding course and registration prices, has anyone used this that could give me information regarding prices?

Also i’m almost positive its accredited as it offers AP approved courses and since those are standardized world round its almost impossible to go wrong, but really when it comes down to it I know little about this program and I would like insight from people who have used it or know about it, so please prices? Accreditation?

Any information that could be provided would be excellent and greatly appreciated.

I’ve been married for 8 yrs. Have a 4 yr old. Throughout the years, my husband cheated on me (not in the act) 3 times. 1st I caught him on "Married buy looking" chat room, 2nd I caught him on his cellphone bills talking to some girl in TX. 3rd, I saw he sent his picture to some girl on his cellphone…those were the onle ones I caught… and the rest, who knows exactly how many times he cheated on me. We went to Marriage Counseling after all the his cheating, it went great! I had forgiven him and we both promised to changed and love each other. But after all that, I recently caught him and saw he sent a pic to some girl on his cellphone. I have suffered and been through a lot with him…I forgave and forget everything for the sake of our marriage and for our son. And because I believe in the concept of Marriage, I stayed with him and never divorce him even after he cheated on me several times..

The new problem began when I moved back to my hometown to finish Registered Nursing school. He stayed behind because he cannot leave his job. So, one time I saw an Online Dating Website. I got curious and signed-in (I know that was stupid of me!) Although I knew it was totally wrong and inappropriate I still went ahead and continue to exchange emails and pictures with other male members. And while I was doing that, I felt like I have completely forgotten all the bad things my husband did to me. I felt happy because once in my life, I felt like I was able to do some type of a revenge. I have met couple of the male members but nothin serious ever happened. They became my friends and I felt happy again…I felt good about myself again…my self-esteem is now back again.. I feel attractive, sexy, and wanted again!! And yes, it feels good!

One day, he got hold of my cellphone and caught me! He found all the numbers, emails, texts, and pictures I sent to those guys. He got upset and threatened me of divorce. We still currently away from each other because I’m still in school. We just talked everything over the phone. He is now telling me that he’s over me and he doesn’t want to be a part of my life anymore. But we’re still married, so far no divorce yet. He still said, he loves me and my son but he doesn’t want to be with me anymore.

Right now, I want to know how can I win his heart again? How can I show him that it will never happen again? How can I regain his trust again? I want "US" to strat from the scratch again but he doesn’t want to. I need help!!! I love my husband so much and we’ve been through a lot all these years and I will not let anything happen to our marriage. My son is of course our priority and that is why we’re still together and trying our best to be great parents. But after what happened, I don’t know for sure what my husband is thinking right now. I love him and I know I hurt his feelings, but he needs to know that I was also in his situation before when he cheated on me, he cheated on me 3X.. But I was able to forgive and forget all his cheating ways after several yrs. I feel so bad for what I did and I blamed myself for everything… but he was the first one who commited adultery in our marriage. What do I need to do?? I love him so much but now everytime I say I love him, he tells me not to say it anymore. He also broke his wedding ring and no longer wear it. God knows how much I care about our marriage and I take full responsible for what I’ve done. But I want to know what is the best thing for me to do right now… tomorrow is out 9th yr. anniversary. HELP PLS!!! Thank you for taking time to read this question… I appreciate all your understanding.

the plan is to create a site to allow landlords etc, market their openings on my site, but my site will be set up more along the lines being marketed towards a specific college campus area. Any idea if this would work or if you would use a site like this over a craigslist type of site?

I have completed two years diploma in Marketing from symbiosis,Pune. Now I want to get a degree in the same field. But symbiosis doesn’t provide degree. Will I need to do it over again to get a degree or is there any other university offering degree in a year if someone have completed a diploma course of two years??

I graduated from college 3 years ago with a major in biology from a good liberal arts college. My GPA was 3.4, but my lowest grades were all in my science courses. I’m FASCINATED by biology and geology, but it’s really hard for me to understand some of the concepts — particularly when it came to "little science" (chemistry and cellular biology). I can’t seem to get it together enough to do well in the field that I am most interested in pursuing. I don’t think I’m smart enough to get my Ph.D. but I can’t stop thinking about it.

I am currently a science teacher at the middle school level. I love teaching science, but every now and then I go online and look at the course descriptions for PhD programs and nearly start crying — I want to do that so badly!

I have a master’s degree in education and a 3.9 GPA in my master’s program. Again, my undergrad GPA was 3.4. I took the GRE’s my senior year of college. I got a 620 Verbal; 700 Quantitative and 4.5 Analytical Writing.

Anyone have advice for me? Should I just go for it and start applying? Is there anything I can do to make my dreams more accessible?

December 6, 2009: If you go to Answers, look for "choc" as I answered someone’s question "interested in becoming a doctor" with Part 1 and part 2 as my answers. I’m seeking a course as my junior soon to be senior offspring has failed it twice really upset about it and thinking about crawling under a blanklet to regress back to community college for something easier. Many classmates highest scores have been 52%. A dream since age 9 and working hard in colleges has had it’s up and downs. South Carolina
