advice

Can somebody tell me the classes i'll need to take, and how long it'll be for me to be able to try to get hired?
I would like to be a dental hygentist;
But I just don't know what I need tod o in order to get this.

help?

I am from NC. Here, private dental schools as well as community colleges offer degrees in dental hygiene. It is generally a two year program. Students take general ed classes (such as english, math etc) as well as classes like orofacial anatomy and the like for their program requirements. States have different laws governing this my advice would be to implore a local community college. best of luck!

Okay i'm going into eleventh grade, and I feel like I should sorta kinda know what im gonna do as a career, or at least how to start off in college or something. So as some background info, I have ALWAYS wanted to do something with medicine. And children. Like pediatrician. But then, as I got older I started thinking about school, and the pressure of being a doctor and everything. So I started leaning towards child psychologist. I have always been very interested in understanding the development and thinking of the child. But on the other hand I really really want to HELP children, and I've heard that pyschologists can't really do that. So im thinking, is there anything else sort of like this that I can do that doesnt even have anything to do with medicine, but just helping children, like mentoring as a job? thanks

My sister in law is a counselor at an elementary school, and she helps alot of children get out of bad situations with the help of social services.

She has a Master's Degree and she makes very good money. To put it this way, she is a single mother of a 7 year old she lives in house with a pool, drives a decent car, has a camper, and she lives very comfortably. She is not rich, but she is not poor either.

Peace, Peace. Love, Love. Forever, Ever.

im a sophomore in high school, and i really would like to learn to make professional graphics. I'm taking a web design class, that will help me with it. But I think it would be cool to make professional pictures for movies, dvd cases, anything like tht too! But how much does a professional computer graphic artist make? And what exactly do they do? And I would like to take some classes on computer graphics. im 15/f/usa
im really creative too =]

I don't want to be a downer because I believe everyone should pursue their dream. That said, my boyfriend is a graphic artist and has been out of college for over a year. He works in a grocery store.

This all depends on your location, but here in NC job prospects are not very good for graphic artists wanting to ever support themselves or a family. He works as a graphic artist part time and makes 8.00 and hour.

If you are very creative I would go for a different career that still employs creativity. Such as web design, culinary school, or possibly interior design.

**Warning: Commerical** If there is an Art Institute in your area, check it out. It is very expensive, but you can get alot of help and they will help you find a job.

Good luck in all your future endeavors!

Peace, Peace. Love, Love. Forever, ever.

Alright, so I've worked once before for Old Navy, but got fired because of a big misunderstanding about what my schedule was and therefore I didn't come into work (which looks horrible). So now I'm applying for Adidas a year later, and on the application it asks if I have ever been discharged from employment. I was wondering if it is better to not mention it or to say yes I have and explain myself. I know you're definitely not suppose to lie on your application, but would they ever actually find out? Any help would be appreciated :] Thanks

Well, Dr. House would say "Everybody Lies" However, I don't think it's good idea to lie on an application. Because think about how much WORSE it will look if your new employer finds out about the first employer and then you are fired from that job also.

It is better to be honest with an employer. Because in my experience, you can get away with everything, but you can get away with anything forever.

Good Luck.
