a little bit of background info…

him: 34, never completed high school, works under the table doing construction, but work is very sketchy. has openly admitted several times to have no drive or desire to do anything with his life and has said he sees it as pointless cause someone from my or his family will die eventually and we will get money then. also claims that if he does not drink every night then he is unable to sleep. often tells me and our children that we ruined his life and took away his freedom, has as little to do with the kids as possible…on the flip side tho, he’s extremely good mechanically and with fixing things, and will drop anything he’s doing if his friends need his help, no matter when it is or what for. so i know he’s capable of doing stuff.

me: 26, in school for financial advising (online courses, from a local college) stay at home mom, in charge of the children, their school stuff, the household, and currently seeking a part time day job. i’m a social drinker, drank on july 4th, at the halloween party, and new years, haven’t touched anything since then, nor do i desire to. i’m very goal driven, i set high expectations for myself and my family, and i want to see them met, or atleast a real effort to meet the goals. i’m also a bit short tempered at times, esp with my husband and often tell him to do something with his life or shut up about it already.

together: 9 years, married 8, with 3 daughters, ages: 7, 6, and 5

problem: his lack of ambition clashes with my desire to better my life. he’s talked many times about going back to school, getting a stable job with benefits, learning about computers and IT, and much more, but every time when it’s came down to it, he has so many excuses why he can’t or won’t try. and he recently (within the past few months) started telling me that despite what he says, he really has no drive to do any of it. of course i get mad, and tell him he’s being a deadbeat and that with 3 daughters to provide for he needs to do something with his life and quit his bs because he’s not getting any younger (neither am i) and we’ve got kids who depend on us. he tells me to hurry up and finish my degree cause once that happens he can stay at home and not have to worry about getting a job cause i’ll be making decent money. my reaction is, heck no, you better do your part, this is your family too, quit being a slacker, man up and do something. he tells me if i don’t like the way he chooses to be, there’s the door, get out or deal with it. being currently unemployed with no family in the area (both my parents are dead) i can’t just leave and walk out, esp with the kids, knowing that right now i can’t provide for them, and i sure would not just leave them with him either. a big part of me wants out! i know he’s not going to try and improve his life or get a real career, he’s proven that, and i’ve given him 9 years to show me that he will, and he never has even really made any effort to, and it’s driving me to my breaking point.

-i’ve suggested counseling, he refused saying that if i see any problems, then i must be the one with all the problems.
-i’ve offered to help him study as much as possible if he’d agree to at least get his ged, he said that’s just a waste of time and all a diploma does is prove your a certified idiot.
-he’s very interested in automotive, and i’ve suggested he get ase certified, of course that idea got shot down as well.
-says he’s trying to get partnered with youtube through google ads to make money that way, it seems like a major long shot in the dark to me for that to happen…

anyways, what does everyone think? i know i’m tempermental, i’ll admit that, but he is driving me insane with his lack of anything in life…no real job, no drive, no goals, no ambition, etc…(and this doesn’t even touch on the girls i’ve found him talking to on craigslist or the people he trashed me to behind my back calling me a witch (with a b) saying i try to tell him how to live, that i ruined all his happiness and freedom, etc… please…help?! advice?!

So I took a year off right after I graduated last year in May.
I’m REALLY bad at school, I have really bad ADD and probably since sixth grade I haven’t payed any attention what so ever.
From 8th to senior year, I was in a charter school because it was a smaller environment so I concentrated better…
The probably is that all the work was done on computers and I cheated in all the tests.
Sooo needless to say, I feel fricken stupid as crap and I REALLY need help before I go into the course/s I really want to get into.

So my question would be:
Does anyone know of an online school or online classes I could take to help me refresh my memory on a lot of 8th to 12th grade stuff like Biology, Health, Science, Social Studies/History, Math, English, etc…?
Or something that could help me, even if it’s not online…

I don’t know, I just need some MAJOR help.

Any help is mucho appreciated.

I am looking for a career in lecturer/professor job in colleges for MBA courses. If I study MBA by online/part-time/executive is it worth it? What is the scope of these courses… Should I need to get into a B-School by taking up a MAT, CET exam and then study in a proper college fulltime for the lecturer job?

If so, where!? I’m sure you can, but I can’t find much. I don’t want to work towards and AA degree. Just take a few classes until I come back to the states to start college. They have to be accredited, and single classes..like math and english etc. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Im looking for another college becuase im attending a small private college thats TOO expensive. My act score was only 17 though. Do you know of a college search engine that lets you choose what you act score was, then brings up colleges that will accept an ACT score so low? Also do you know of any sites that let you apply online for free? Thanks!
Can i even take the SAT or retake the ACT if im out of college though??

My schedule currently looks like:

Biology 100
Biology Lab
MAT 155 (for Elementary Ed Majors)
Public Speaking
Psychology
EDF 200 – Intro to Education (for future teachers)
Physical Education – Stretching & Relaxation
Physical Education – Cardio Strength (Doesn’t begin until March)

I consider my PE classes leisure. They’ll keep me in shape and will help relieve stress. I will not get rid of them. I need my Math 155 class for my major. It goes deeper into the math that we will need to teach Elementary aged students. I want my Biology class because 1) I need a science + lab and 2) I honestly would like to take Anatomy in the future(I have my own personal Anatomy textbook because I enjoy it). I feel that Public Speaking will help me in speaking in front of the class and designing the class curriculum. So, I’m hesitant in getting rid of it.

The two classes I debate are EDF(Intro to Ed) and Psychology. EDF is a class required at this college for my major. However, I will not be at this college all four years. I can’t say this specific course is offered at most colleges. Apparently, the class is a waste of time, boring and the professor is rude. There are, however, many group assignments and people have met many friends in this class because of it. There are 200 students in this class.

The Psychology class is about 400 students. The class is held in the library, and I find this library to be so beautiful; it has a newly-remodeled appearance. The two professors apparently are great, funny and nice. The coursework is easy; there is one short essay in the class and the teacher is easy on the grading of it. There are weekly online quizzes, but students are allowed numerous attempts at it. My friend was failing the class, said it was the way the professor taught the class and always complained about having to go, but she’d blamed another teacher for her failing his class when I thought he was actually very clear and extremely nice. I took Psychology in HS, junior year and had an A+. I was somewhat interested in it.

I cannot keep both because this schedule equals 18 credits, including the 2 credits for my PE classes. I did not do well last semester and ended up failing a class. I wasn’t happy with my other grades.

MWF – MAT155 and Public Speaking, back to back, both 50 minutes, would be done at 12:20
TTh – Biology and Psychology, back to back, 1hr 15min each, would be done at 12:25

Bio Lab is 2hrs on Wednesday night and EDF 200 is 2 1/2 hrs on Tuesday night. My PE classes are at 3, one/day.
I plan on attending community college next year. I’ll worry about transferring for junior year.

I think I’ll drop Psychology. It wasn’t actually that the coursework was too difficult. I found it easier than my senior year of HS. I was going through a hard time, only got the chance to speak with a counselor once, was stressed and behind after having the Swine Flu for a week(had two papers due in the middle of that week and only got one in). I then was too lazy to do HW and always put it off for a later time. It’s what I do when I’m stressed. I was doing perfectly fine before I got Swine Flu. :0/
I’m not positive that I want to go into Primary Ed. If I transfer, I would go into secondary because of the college I may transfer to.

If I become a secondary teacher, I want to teach either Anatomy and Physiology(and would likely have to teach other sciences) or Algebra 1 and 2 (and would likely have to teacher other maths)

So, i’m currently a senior and, at least in my school, we (students) skip a LOT. I have incredible handwriting, and was musing about the idea of turning it into a business.

Now, the above statements are related in the fact that I was thinking about starting an online business where I would write whatever was requested. Now, this could include parent notes, but I wouldn’t forge a signature (it could also include love letters, writing college essays in good script, writing resumes, whatever).

What do you think? x.o

It seems to me that it is very difficult for me to make friends simply because I’m pretty out of touch with technology. From work, or school, it seems like 80% of everything people talk about with each other is something TV related (at least for guys). Whether if its a football game, some hot tv starlett, the last episode of LOST, or whatever. When guys around me begin talking about these things, I can’t really do anything but feel awkward and feel out of place. It’s even worse, because I don’t like cell phones. They talk a lot about cell phones and stuff, or video games. I have a cell phone, but it’s very primitive, and I rarely use it, and since I don’t have a TV set, I of course don’t have any game systems.

The thing is, I don’t have the money for a TV set and even the most basic form of cable. I especially don’t have enough money for systems and all the games available. I’m at the limit as it is with my spending and saving for graduate school. Regardless of the prices, I doubt I even have time in between full time school, work, exercise, and other activities. I don’t even have a TV and my grades are horrible/mediocre as it is. If I wasted more time on TV, I would probably get kicked out of my university altogether. However I just feel totally out of touch with all my fellow students and coworkers. Did I mention I also have very different tastes in music than them, and I don’t really even follow who is the popular musicians these days. My passion is archaeology, physics, biology, the few science fiction shows I can watch online, folk rock, jazz, gypsy swing, history, and doing crafty things with a computer router. Basically put, I have nothing in common with anyone I know. And I’m not too interested in hanging out with the type of people that do have the same interests as me, because most of them usually have some major personality issues. (Not that I don’t myself, but I’m pretty good at keeping them under wraps, and I’m still generally pretty well adjusted.)

Must I get a TV and waste more time in my life to simply get a grip on what’s popular so I can make friends?

Hello, I am a sophomore in Miami-Dade College (MDC) in Miami, Florida, and I am concerned about transferring. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering and have a 3.87 GPA (out of the 4.0 scale). I am not sure what the average GPA is for the typical student majoring in mechanical engineering or similar majors.

I started college on the fall of the year I graduated high school. Each semester I have taken more than 12 credits and taken one class in the summer. Here is my academic progress so far:

Fall Term 2008 (freshman)
- Humanities (3)
- Trigonometry (3)
- General Chemistry I (3)
- General Chemistry I Lab (2)
- English Composition I (3)
- Intro to Microcomputer Usage (4)

Spring Term 2009 (freshman)
- Theater Appreciation (3)
- Calculus I (5)
- Physics I (without Calc) (3)
- Physics I (without Calc) Lab (1)
- English Composition II (3)
- Human Growth & Development (3)

Summer Term 2009 (freshman-sophomore)
- Calculus II (4)

Fall Term 2009 (sophomore)
- Calculus III (4)
- Physics I (with Calc) (4)
- Physics I (with Calc) Lab (1)
- Principles of Biology I (3)
- Principles of Biology I Lab (2)

I have only earned Bs in two courses, Humanities and Intro to Microcomputers. All my other grades are As.

I also have 8 credits of Intermediate Spanish I & II (4 credits each) from the AP Spanish Language Exam I took during high school.

This semester (Spring Term 2010) I’m taking:
- Differential Equations (3)
- Physics II (with Calc) (4)
- Physics II (with Calc) Lab (1)
- Fundamentals of Speech Communication (3)
- The Social Environment (3)
- Music Appreciation (3)

Note: I do not own a car, so I cannot always take the proper classes each semester. My father has a very low income and we cannot afford more than the one he already has. My brother, mother, father, and I are all taking classes (my mother and I at MDC). We all depend on the bus and train everyday, except my father who has classes at night and drives there.

I have checked all the requirements and have (or "will have") more than enough credits needed to graduate this semester with an AA in Mechanical Engineering from community college (MDC is not really a community college anymore, but considered as one for these types of transactions). I want to apply to UF (my best choice) , FSU (a good choice for me and a backup), and UCF (another backup and last resort) hoping that one will accept me.

Here is what I am concerned about, I was looking at the UCF application online (they use the SAME undergraduate application for freshmen and transferring students) and they ask for extracurricular activities. I currently do not have any extracurricular activities (other than the ones I had in high school), but I know at least one club that I can join right away this semester.

Do I have any chance of being admitted to any of these schools, keeping in mind my progress? Does it matter if I join any clubs this semester (my last one) even with my grades? Is it worse not to join any clubs at all?

Please examine my situation carefully and give serious answers. Thank you in advance!

I am currently attending an online college and I read that even though a college can be accredited, some of it’s courses might not be. How do I figure if their classes are legit? How do I know that I’m getting what I’m paying for? Is there anyone I could call(besides the them)? I have 2 weeks before we start a new term and I’m really hesitant to continue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had a crush on one guy at school. I did not know him that well but he was really sweet smart and sometimes little strange.. So, one day he said he really like me and want to go out.. I was happy but than I find out he mean hook up not a date. Well I wanted to date him not just be his one nighter.. I learn he never had a relationship and he is pretty much an assh* when it comes to asex and woman.

I turned him down… layer he come to me again and said he is still really like me and if I want dating and relationship than it is what he will do. We had a great date and I was falling for him.. On our second date we had sex with his "ligh’ pressure on me because I felt it was a little too soon for my comfort. But I give in because I was afraid he will assume I a " cold fish" which is totaly oppposite but I just was afraid to get hurt by him with his dog reputation.

Than I we had make out sessions and I wanted to see him on a date like to go out. When we met he was distant and said he can’t be so affectionate all the time etc… ?!? After me pressurring him for some answeres he admitted that played me because he had noone at a moment…

Now. U can immagine how I feel, add to it I see him everyday at school flirting with others. After that conversation he acting intentionally. Not even asknowledging my existance and just staying away. That is hurt even more. I really believed him and liked him…

Pleease, help this scum needs to learn. OH, during our last date he aslo said " do not talk to me do not give me any opportunity" like he can trick me again into getting back with him, what an obnouctiuos ash*!!!! He acted like it was all in his control and he can do whatever he wants…

I WANT HIM SUFFER1

He is doinf online dating and likes challenge from woman, he expirienced in sex and I think into porn, He very cynical but it seams yo be defence because he cried on my shoulder few times about his unloving childhood, everybody hurting him in past and nobody cared about him. He even said he has " false sence ofsecurity when " he is with me. Than noone evr loved him way I did and I am so good to him… But now he acts like I am nobody not even a good memory..

I am looking to go back to college online for an Associates degree in business administration/human resources management. There are thousands of resources on the Internet and I am finding it daunting trying to figure out how MUCH each online program costs.

i want to have a detail information for the above asked question,kindly suggest for the best

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 am a senior in high school and I plan to major in Electrical Engineering in college. My high school offers physics and I only have a few days to transfer into that class from advanced biology. I read online somewhere that electrical engineers have to take physics in college and I think it would be helpful to take in high school so I have some understanding of it. The only thing is that the teacher is extremely tough. He has a Ph.D in Statistics and everyone that has taken it said it is a tough course. But I also think i can handle it and that it would be beneficial. Please let me know your opinions. They will be greatly appreciated.

In the past, I remember visiting a website that was supposed to aid in one’s college search.
