Q: College degree?
I was wondering since I got a college degree in Ma for early childhood education. Yet i am thinking of moving to Pa. Is my degree good there too or can i only use it in Ma?

A: Your degree is good all over the country. The problem is that generally these degrees are fashioned to include what is needed for any state licensing in the state you received it. To get a license in another state might or might not require some extra study. You need to check the licensing requirements in MA. As for the degree itself, it's good in all states as a degree and if what you will be doing does not require a license, you are good to go.

Q: Is a College Degree required for a person to become a commercial pilot?
I heard that some airlines require a college degree on top of a pilot's licence. I just would like to know if this additional requirement is applicable to all commercial airlines.

A: It is a requirement for most major air carriers. An alternative to a standard four year degree would be attending a school focused entirely upon Aviation. At least if this is your passion, you won't become bored. An example is Embry-Riddle. They have two campuses, one in Florida and the other in Arizona.

Q: What is the best college degree to get to become a photographer?
I was originally planning to go to a fairly small (not tiny) regional college and get a "photography" degree. However, I've been told that it would be better to get something else, just taking some photography electives and learning the business on the job. Is this true? And if so, what undergraduate degrees should I consider? What I mean to ask is, is what kinds of degrees (other than a degree in photography) would best prepare me for a photo career beyond the technical skills? I've heard everything from Marketing to a general Liberal Arts degree.

A: Get a business management/marketing degree, with minor in photography/graphic arts...

Q: What kind of college degree should a pilot get?
I know that Iit isn't necessarily required to have a college degree to become a pilot, but I really want to go to college. I was just wondering if anybody had any suggestions to the type of college degree that would be helpful to an airline pilot.

A: There is only one college (Seneca) in Canada where a degree (with all licenses / ratings) is offered. PILOT LICENSING IN CANADA Following are the links and some info that might be useful. Seneca College homepage: http://www.senecac.on.ca/cms/ Flight program bachelor's degree at Seneca: http://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/FPR.html This webpage includes the course description, and the academic and medical requirements. To be a commercial pilot, one requires a Private Pilot License (PPL), a Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Night Rating, Multi-Engine Rating, and Instrument rating. All this can be achieved at CFI. All this is also covered in the college program; the only difference is that more simulation and theory studies are done and that you get a degree. According to my research and inquiry, CFI is one of the best flying institutes in Canada. It can take as short as 1 year to get it all done at CFI; whereas in Seneca, the degree program is 4 years, including 1 summer of co-op. However, to get a degree is always better. At one branch of CFI, they get you a job after you achieve the commercial license. Also, to get selected, one must successfully pass the medical (physical and mental) exam to meet the Medical category 1. Check out the following website for the Medical requirements: http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Regserv/Affairs/cars/Part4/Standards/t42402.htm For more info, contact the administrators at Seneca.

Q: How can someone survive without a college degree these days?
I've been jumping around from major to major, college to college, and cant find anything thats satisfies me. I've been in school for nearly 3 years now, and I'm taking a break this next semester. The problem is, I hate school and really dont want to go back. But I'm no fool. I know people need a full degree to get even the simplest jobs these days. I need some form of assurance that people without a college degree can make something of themselves. That they can be successful and/or financially comfortable without a degree. What can people do nowadays, in order to survive, as someone who did not complete college? What direction could they go in? What fields could/should they pursue? What can people do for themselves to be successful without going to school? I just want some perspective here.

A: Baloney... you do not need a college degree. Michael Dell of Dell Computers never graduated from college, and there are thousands of CEO's just like him. I say pursue your dreams and your interests. By the way, I have a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree... I just realize that college is not for everyone. Some of the smartest and wealthiest people I know never graduated from college. Here's my best advice for you: Read "The Millionaire Next Door" and learn how just normal folks achieved their dreams. Here's a clue: Think entrepreneur and passion.

I would like to be a full time freelance writer. Is a college degree neccessary to be successful?

A: As a successful, full-time freelance writer, I feel I can help you out with this question. Although a college degree is not necessary to be a full-time writer, it is certainly helpful. You will be competing for jobs against people who may have a masters degree so you will need to be confident, well-spoken and articulate. Having a positive work ethic is essential.

As you gain experience writing, you can take courses in business and English so you can develop the skills to further your career. Distance learning is flexible so you can take as many or as few classes as you can handle, depending on how busy you get as a freelance writer. To get try your hand at writing right away, consider starting a free blog or checking out websites such as iFreelance and Elance.

Q: What is a useful college degree to have to work in italy?
I'm about to go to college and i'm planning on working in italy in a few years and I would like to know what kind of degree would be good for finding work in italy. I've visited italy and loved it. I'm also becoming fairly fluent in italian. Keep in mind I don't want to strive for anything too academically challenging. Just something useful. Thanks.

A: This depends a lot on where you're coming from. If you're from the EU, you have the right to move and work freely. Coming from the US, Canada, or Australia, you'll have to have skills that can't easily be duplicated here. That will mean a degree in a marketable field. Right now in the area where I'm living marketable skills include software engineering, engineering - particularly electrical engineering, electronic board design, chemical engineering, and biomedical engineering. This area has a concentration of medical device manufacturers who are looking more for experience in the field than entry level positions. You should consider a semester to a year in a study abroad program in Italy while you're in school. That can give you a tremendous advantage in making contacts and gaining direct experience for when you want to make the move. It is may be easier to get a job within the US office of an international company and move here with the job than to find work here. You might also want to look into positions with the US government (consulates) or military here (assuming you're from the US). If you're a US citizen, you can't just show up in Italy and stay for longer than 3 months. It is illegal to work here without the proper work visa or student visa. In general in Europe, and in particular here in Italy, you have to have a job lined up in order to get a work visa before you move here from the US. You can only stay for 90 days without some type of visa (work, student, ...). You cannot apply for the visa while you're here and you'll need the proper paperwork from the company. There are several on-line ex-pat sites that are good resources for researching moving to Italy; here are some to start with: http://www.expatsinitaly.com/ http://www.expatsinitaly.com/before/gett... http://www.insight-italy.com/artscsii.ht... You can find similar sites for other countries. http://www.xpat.nl/index1.html http://www.expats.cz/ http://www.francethisway.com/wp/ http://www.howtogermany.com/pages/expat.... Please be aware that you will have to file taxes both here and in the US if you retain your US citizenship.

Q: Does your college degree have to be in the sciences to qualify as a Naval Officer?
I'm planning on enlisting in the Naval Reserve for 4 years while I attend college, and then, with my degree, attending OCS and becoming an officer. Does my degree have to be in Computer Science, Engineering, etc or can it be what I want? Thanks. Oh, as as for what I do want, I'm looking at Doubling with Classics and Chemistry.

A: Technically? you can have a 4 year degree in underwater basket weaving. But the reality is.. they are looking for Engineering and Hard Science degrees with a 3.5 GPA or better to be competitive. Having a degree is NO guarentee that you will be picked up for OCS. Which communtiy you want will also be a factor.. it's easier to get into Suplly if you have a Business Admin degree, but of you want IWO.. better have that Comp Sci one or a heavy conentration in network security. If you go with your current plan, you better have a lot more to offer the Selection Board.. leadership roles, Volunteerism, sports.. in other words, you must stand out head and shoulders above others in your perr group that have the preferred degree.

Q: What 4 year college degree requires the least amount of credits?
I want to be a Marine Officer but the only thing holding me back is a 4 year degree. I hate waiting and I feel like I'm wasting time. I want to get any degree as quick as possible. What 4 year college degree requires the least amount of credits?

A: The social sciences (psychology, anthropology, sociology) tend to have small degree programs. Some humanities (political science, peace, war, and defense (PWAD), history) also tend to have shorter degree programs as well. But it depends on the college.

Q: What is the difference between a Communication College Degree and a Telecommunication College Degree?
My son is interested in television and radio productions, but confused about the college degree he should finish. Communication or Telecommunication?

A: Communication is the theoretical/academic field dealing with the study of human communication. It discusses group dynamics, oratory, media and culture, etc... It includes a lot of areas that were once separate areas of study such as journalism, film studies, speech, and tech writing. Telecommunication is the technical field that addresses the mechanical aspects and is related more to engineering than to theory. It addresses much of the how such as how does fiber optic cable work. If he's interested in Broadcast Engineering then the technical degree is the field. If he's interested in Broadcast Journalism then he wants journalism or communication. If he's interested in Broadcast management then the subfield in communication is media communication management.
