I am almost 30, never been to college. I can’t get the job I want without a bachelor degree. I have 10 years experience however with no degree I am frowned upon. I am looking at going and finally getting that degree. I am a single mom so I will need financial help. I would like to do my degree online if possible. How do I find a college? I have googled colleges but I do not know which one is a good one. I am in the Kansas City area looking to persue an HR degree. Thanks.

Greywolf asked:


My son is in high school and is interested in the military AND college. I’ve heard of getting a college degree then joining and I’ve heard of joining with the intention of them paying for college. But I don’t really know what to tell him that would be true.

Can anyone help me with some answers?
I have knowledge of the military from many family members who were in it and serving as a military wife for 5 years with my ex-husband. However, he was enlisted and the situation is different with him. He was always saying he’d wished he’d have enlisted as an officer. I was wondering HOW that happens.

I consider serving this country to be an honor. WHERE EVER that is. I don’t have to love the president to love the country. The president will come and go. The country is ours for as long as we can keep it. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

I am a Filipino, 23 years old, and have been planning to work in Singapore for the longest time. I am a college graduate with a BA degree, but the thing is, the friend I am planning to go with is not. He is just afraid to go through all the effort, and to spend a big sum of money to look for a job there, and in the end, go back to the Philippines in vain. If a college degree is indeed a requirement, do you have any suggestions how he could go about this?

Your answers will be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

BigDog7458 asked:


I am curious as to general opinion why most companies select position candidates based on a college degree as compared to years of practical experience? From a financial aspect, an experienced individual may command a higher entry salary, however, the practical experience should offset the cost by reducing the time of the learning curve as well as provide a source for historical information attained at other organizations.

This situation happens quite often in the business and manufacturing worlds. For example, I have worked with a major automotive manufacturer for over ten years. This manufacturer will not hire anyone (low level to upper management) without a degree, period. However, they currently have people in positions that significantly affect the financial success of the company, simply because they have a degree. There are individuals that have degrees in Physical Education, Literature and Psychology performing duties in areas of quality and engineering. How does this make business sense? The degree got them in the door, however, their practical experience acquired has allowed them to skate by to this point. Does this not support the argument of practical experience over classroom experience? After all, anyone currently functioning in a given industry would conceivably be up-to-date with current technology in any regard.

Some Thoughts Please……………..

Im graduating high school and going to a college about 25 minutes from my house (parents house). My college fund my parents put savings in for awhile has about 20,000, and Im planning on getting grants/scholarships to cover the rest of the cost. Could the financial aid cover the other 7000-8000 for the class costs and then with money from working, room and board? Or should I just stay with my parents?
