Bachelor Degre

Question: What are the chances of getting employed with a bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering? I'm living in Canada, doing my grade 12 studies. Next year I want to do Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering at UOIT, Oshawa. So, I would be done my degre by 2014, i believe. What is the demand of nuclear engineers in Canada or around the whole world. How much is their salary from the start? THANK YOU.

Answer: I'm in the U.S. so I don't have much to say about Canada, but Nuclear Engineering programs have been on a downward spiral for decades due to crushing restrictions and public hostility to the industry (not deserved, only due to ignorance). Now that the nuclear industry is poised to be the "hero" of the global warming solution the combination of rising nuclear plant construction, low numbers of graduates and an aging workforce in the nuclear industry mean that engineers and technicians are going to be able to name their own terms. I predict the next decade or two are going to be for nuclear engineers and technicians what the 1990's were for computer engineers and programmers. In response to the answer who wrote about the U.S. Navy nuclear engineering program, I'm not sure that as a Canadian you would be eligible for that program. An interesting point, though, is that the Navy pays its nuclear engineers more money than its jet pilots to keep them in the service because the job opportunities for them after getting out are so good. (Once upon a time before the airlines took a nose dive around 9/11 it was the opposite; Navy pilots were so in demand that the Navy had to give them all sorts of incentives to stay in.) I have heard it said that the average U.S. nuclear power plant is manned 50% to 75% by former Navy nuclear engineers and technicians because the U.S. universities don't provide nearly the number of workers required. ************************************************ I study nuclear science, I love my classes I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses Things are going great, and they're only getting better I'm doin' all right, getting good grades The future's so bright I gotta wear shades I got a job waiting for my graduation 50 thou' and year will buy a lot of beer Things are going great, and they're only getting better (an 80's song that could have been written for now; it's probably classic rock to you)

Question: if im an enlisted soldier in the army, and i use my G.I. bill to go to college and get a bachelors degre? can i become an officer? can someone explain how please

Answer: you have to wait until you are out of the army to go to college, atleast if u go active. you can take some classes, but you cant use your GI bill and there is no way you can do more than 1 class a semester, if your lucky. but once you ets from active yes you can: you can either enroll in an ROTC program or you can reenter with OCS in your contract. either way you'll come in as a butterbar. not sure which one of those 2 routes will give you a better chance of ending up ni the field you want, i would immagine that OCS would.

Question: Can you be an AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER, and work for the FAA straight out of the Army if your MOS 15Q? I'm enlisted in the Army and currently deployed (Operation Iraqi Freedom) but my time for re-enlistment is now open and I would like to go back home and be a civilian once again and become an Air Traffic Controller. Now I'm aware that to become and Air Traffic Controller you need a Bachelor degre and some experience or a combination of both and what I wanted to know is if you enlist for the Army Reserves and become a MOS 15Q Air Traffic Controller what else do you need to be consider in this field and be able to work for the FAA? Are my chances any better to get in this field? Any Prior Service with MOS 15Q out there that could help me out?

Answer: Qualifications used to be 3 years work experience and no bachelors degree were necessary. As a military controoler, you should have the ability to direct-hire into the FAA without much hassle. Do your homework. The FAA is embarking on a hiring binge. They want to hire roughly 600-650 new people each year. If you have prior work experience, you can be sure you will be noticed. Look into the NATCA web page for employment opportunities. They can be more help than I. ATCS at Cleveland Center ARTCC

Question: Can I join the military with a felony? I want to join the military, but I have a felony. Since I been released I've got a bachelor degre in Computer Networking. What branch will allow me to enter serviceand to have rank as well as better benifits???

Answer: A felony is usually a bar to service, however, there are waivers out there for just about everything. If you want it bad enough, go for it. Be persistent, and make it clear that not only do you want this for yourself, but make it known how you can be an asset to the service (by that, I DO NOT mean say something stupid like "I got busted breaking and entering, so obviously I can break into the enemy's safehouse!"). Some places just simply don't need people that badly right now (the air force comes to mind), and so they can afford to be extra picky in who they choose. But, there are always openings somewhere. Talk to a recruiter, explain your situation, and work with him to make it happen.

Question: what do you consider more important?... Education or Work experience? i got my bachelor degre, but i can't effort to do my masters degree.. right now i have 3 years working experience. Do you think i can go far if i only have my bachelor degree and my working experience? i would love to do masters degree, but my country they dont give loan to support us on this. they are not so supportive about this unless you are really good in studies to apply for scholarship. I am feeling really sad right now, after knowing that i really won't get to do my masters.

Answer: Work experience. I always figured that real life teaches you more than a book. That's why I don't judge intelligence by someone's academic acheivments. But that is just my opinion. You are probably best off going back to school.

Question: Would you say a bachelors in History-General Studies is a burger flipper degre or a ticket to a good job? Is there a lot of scholarship opportunities for Bachelors History-General Studies for Graduate school?

Answer: Sometimes, employers just want someone who is schooled. Any degree is better than none, and you could always teach. Besides, you've done your general education requirements, you could go on to something that you really like.

Question: What degree do i need to become a nurse? Hi, I am just going into 9th grade and we had too shoose what we wanted too be so we could take classes for it. Well i chose a nurse because i have always wanted too be one. What degre do i need too become a nurse? bachelors? masters? proffesionals? doctoral? I have no clue please help.

Answer: That is great that your school is willing to prepare you guys early for stuff like that. You may want to look into duel enrolling in college as a high school student. Almost all community colleges have programs like that and you can get financial aid for it, just go to the school of your choice web site and check it out. As for the nursing well there are several levels of nursing: associates, bachelors, masters, and even doctorate. The most commonly known nurses, like the ones at the hospitals are the ones that hold a bachelors of science in nursing "bsn". Now in order to get to that level you have to get an Associates degree in nursing first. Now some people have associates degrees in areas other than nursing but it takes them longer to become a nurse because no matter what you do you have to have had all of the pre requisite work done in order to get into a 4 year "bachelors" nursing program which by the way is extremely competitive.. Some two year "associates level" registered nurses also work just fine in hospitals and stuff, but they are payed less and have been know to be treated like crap by other nurses and doctors. because of their supposed inferior education "which is hardly the case" I have met many great two year RN's Any-who, those programs are very hard to get into as well ! Here are some things that you can do to increase your chances of getting accepted into any nursing program: 1) get only A's & B's it is important that you adhere to that because although they say that their minimum is a 2.0 or 2.5 in every class they almost NEVER accept people with less than a 3.0 in all classes taken if not higher, then of course your cumulative GPA has to be usually like a 3.0 or higher in my case a 3.5. 2) Before entrance into the program you will be required to take an entrance exam (NET, TEASE, or the HOBBIT) it is imperative that you get a study guide book for which ever one you need to take & study it like it is nobodies business because they are looking for high scores specifically in the areas of the reading comp sub-score and math. 3) They are also more likely to take you if you have had some work experience in the medical field 4) Letters of recommendation and extracurricular activities never hurt. But I want to encourage you to look into the dual enrollment thing. I wish I had known about the dual enrolling when I was in high school only because you can get your most basic college classes out of the way while in high school and by the time you graduate you are done with most of your associates degree. It is hard and alot of work but it will better prepare you for college life, will help you to do better, and will increase your chances of getting in and finishing early. I hope I answered your question adequately, if you are not sure of something or have more questions please feel free to message me directly. I wish you luck sweety

Question: Associates degre? I graduate CC with an AA in Liberal Arts this semester. I chose that as an all around subject for teaching. I'm transferring to a four yr as upper division for a bachelor's in English or communications. What job can I get with the AA degree while I'm in school pursuing a Bachelor's? Office asst? Teaching asst? Back admin.? And how would I go about applying for such a job, like an office asst/clerk?

Answer: If you want to be a teacher, I would suggest substitute teaching! This way, once you grad with your BA you will be familiar with area schools and vice versa! Often, that is the best way to land a job. They want to hire someone they are familiar with. I'm not sure if you'd apply at the school or where for that one. I would just call the Regional Sup's office or the local school and ask! Good Luck!

Question: Do you prefer a partner with more, the same or less education than yourself? I know many phD students and professors who do not want a partner with less than a graduate degree, and the rest seem to want someone with at least a bachelors for "intellectual compatibility". I know some people who prefer less education in their partners so that they can be the knowledgable one and some who want more so that they can be more proud, intellectually stimulated or impressed by their partner. Do you prefer a partner with much more education (a phD in constitutional law, political economy, physical geography, palaeontology, philosophy of science), slightly more (a bachelors degre if you are a community college graduate); the same or less education than yourself?

Answer: I have an associates degree and am a paralegal. While i do not have a PhD, I am intelligent. (even if i do spend my idle time on yahoo answers!) I had a boyfriend who was lacking in verbal skills, social skills weren't up to par, and he wasn't raised in the same class as I was... it was a disaster. I felt like I was dating a cave man. So i think that intelligence and social class can be important in a relationship. At least, in my specific situation, it was.

Question: How does an individual with 10 years in mortgage underwriting become an insurance underwriter? I have been in mortgage underwriting since 1997, until just recently when I got laid off. The mortgage industry is pretty volatile right now. I was thinking of becoming an insurance underwriter. Where do I start? I have a bachelor's degre, but in Music( go figure- I don't work in my field of study!). I know what underwriting is all about, I just need to learn a new product .

Answer: Mortgage underwriting is a completely separate field from life insurance underwriting but there are jobs available in life and disability insurance underwriting. However, the opportunites are at the home offices of the large insurance companies so if you don't live near one you would have to be willing to relocate. I would start off with a company that is a geographic fit for you - New York Life, The Prudential, AIG, Hartford, Pacific Life - there are many life insurance companies but you would be making a commitment in job training so don't waste your time with any of the little companies. You can educate yourself on life insurance by taking the same courses you would take if you plan to sell life insurance. I suggest you take at least one of those courses to see if life insurance interests you. If it does, and you found an insurance company that you think is a good fit for you, send a letter to the HR department explaining your situation. The fact that you made the (small) investment to take a course in life insurance will impress them and I believe you will be able to obtain a meeting to talk about an underwriting position. No one graduates from college with a degree in underwriting so insurance companies have in-house training programs but insurance companies tend to have good benefits (life, health and retirement) but not the highest salaries.

Question: Should I get a Second Bachelors Degree? Please Help :/? I received my bachelors in Film/Television and i always wanted to get a degre in Business. I need a job that is stable and not freelance like film!!!! Im 23 years old and I was looking at schools to get my Masters in Business; however, I don't have the business core classess. I was looking at the core classes and it seemed that i should go and get a SECOND bachelors degree in Business Administration. Should I? what other options are available?

Answer: Get a Masters degree in a field that you are passionate about. That really depends on what you want to do with it! I think, with all post nominal, the best thing to do is to get qualifications that spell something good! Before you start down this road, I suggest you take the time to do some research about what the jobs might look like once you get your degree. What kind of science do you want to do? What kind of setting (corporate lab, academics)? Talk to as many people as you can who are already doing what you might want to do and find out what it is really like. Ideal situation would be to have a job you enjoy while making a lot of money. While that doesn't happen for everybody, you've learned what you want to do now. A couple of things to consider: 1. While science isn't quite 180 degrees from business, people who wanted to study science quit because it's too hard and change it to business. You should determine if you are capable of doing the work before investing your time and money. While determining this, you should consider how long it's going to take and also the fact that BS in science in general doesn't land you a job in that field. With a BS in any science degree will, at most, land you in a research lab...meaning you're going to need at least master's to spread your wings in your field. 2. Money - You don't have to worry about money now, you're young and have plenty of time to make money. At the same time, however, you should consider changing to a career that's going to provide a certain level of financial stability. No matter how rewarding and fulfilling your job is, if you don't get paid enough, you'll be miserable. i.e. Teachers-while it can be very rewarding, the reality is that money doesn't reflect one's needs. 3. You can do SOOOO much with your accounting degree - while the laws have changed so that you need to get additional course work to be a CPA, being an accountant or in financial field doesn't mean you're gonna be punching numbers in a calculator. You can find a job in the science/technology field that you're interested by advancing your current degree. People do it ALL the time. 4. One thing that caught my eyes was that you described your job as tedious and boring. In order for you to get your bachelor's in science (any science), you have to do a LOT of tedious and boring work, especially the beginning courses. I'd suggest you learn more about exactly what you want to do in which scientific field, and try to know as much as possible about that position. I want to encourage you to pursue what you want to do because you're young enough to be able to discover new outlets but you're also old enough to know what you want in life. My only hesitation is my first point on your changing from business to science as opposed to the other way around. It's going to be hard to do especially after being out of school for a while. People often go to law schools and b-schools after being out of school for several years, but very few go to med school after being out of school for years. You could be talking about other subjects (engineering, R&D, etc) but still, that's going to be difficult. Good Luck

Question: My ASVAB qualifies for Navy "Nuke", what is available for high scores in other branches of the armed forces? I am curious about all oppurtunities and have just began doing research. My ASVAB score was 95. Walking into the recruiters office I was planning on gathering info to aid a Law Enforcement career. I have an A.S. degre in CJ and am well on my way to my Bachelors. I am also a few months away from taking a job with either Border Patrol or a major city PD. (Pending my background investigations, I have had two other investigators tell me to come back after getting some military exp. already). So my recruiter throws out this Nuke thing. Having my educational loans paid off, a fat bonus, experience, being well on my way to a high paying civilian job, and the challenge of doing something great with the top 1% of the Navy is very appealing. I am 26 and will be married soon. My fiance is a nurse, ready to relocate and very supportave. I would also love any feedback about individual military experiences. I plan on thinking this over for months, not days or weeks. Info/opinions would be great.

Answer: It's good that you are looking at all of your options. Email me again if you have any other questions in regards to being a nuke, and please ask others who have been through the nuclear power pipeline for their experience as well.
