3. QUESTION:
   Career in Music - What Should I Do?
   So, I'm 19 *soon to be 20*, graduated high school almost 2 years ago, and, I'm still torn about what to do with myself. When I graduated I had no direction, absolutely no direction lol. I tried my hands at all kinds of things, but ended up quitting. Not out of depression or "oh I suck at this blah blah blah", but just because I get bored. I'm the type of person that gets very bored and restless if I don't have something to do........except when I was working at my last job, and when I play my music.

   My last job was awesome, pretty much was with an internet marketing/consulting/advertising companies. 2 of them at once in fact (working with my direct boss, and then helping him out with his biggest account as pretty much the "assist consultant" or "secondary consultant"). It wasn't your typical white collar, desk-jockey, type job. That type of job, where I'm just pushin paper/pencil would kill me, I'm way to restless. But with this past job, I got to be creative, I got to use my ideas, I got to edit/make videos, websites, pictures, etc. And I got my training for free. BUT, unfortunately, due to the economy, the business has taken a hit. Boss said he can't afford to pay me right now, and didn't want to have me working for free lol, but that I'd most likely be able to come back in a couple months. So, more like laid-off than fired.

   Now on to my music. I play flamenco guitar. I play everyday and I can honestly say that it's the one and only thing that truly makes me happy. It's my release. I would absolutely LOVE to make a career out of it, but it's music, much easier said than done. And considering it's also flamenco, considering most people probably think about the bird (flamingo) when they see the word, it's not exactly all that main-stream.

   Lately I've been very lost, very very lost. I've tried my hand at a few things, and quit all of them. College........psh, yea right. I'm not lazy, not lazy at all, trust me, the responsibility of my last job was enormous. It's just, college isn't right for everybody, some people just aren't meant to go, and I happen to be one of those people. What can I say? I tried, only lasted a year then I decided that I couldn't keep doing it. And some more things here and there I don't want to elaborate on, and make this any longer than it already is.

   Anyway, on to my question (sorry for rambling), when it comes down to it, the only 2 things I haven't quit are: my job, and flamenco.

   The reason why I keep trying my hand at other things and not just sticking with music and the job that I have/had, is that it's free-lance. Times are good, times are bad. Music is artistic, and the web-job is free-lance. Basically, it's not something I'm guaranteed to always have (if that makes sense). And I'm a person that grew up with VERY little stability in my life, so the thought of living the rest of my life like that......just the thought of it stressed the hell outta me. But still, those are the only 2 things I haven't quit.

   So, finally, my question is: What just sticking with my gut and do music and the internet-marketing job (when I get it back, or even finding clients of my own), or should I keep searching for something else?

   Just trying to get some other people's (aside from family/friends) view, you know, people who don't really know me, kind of an objective point of view.

   Thanks and I appreciate your advice.
   Sam
   To CarolO - I've been paying my own bills lol. And I'm currently searching for a new job/clients and leads of my own (I don't think I can count how many places I've applied to this week, from odd-jobs to grocery stores to professional companies, I just some form of temporary income) So it's not like I'm sitting on my ass. I have been living with my father, but like I said, I help out with the bills and pull my own wait, I'm not a bum. And if you didn't notice how I said in my question "aside from friends/family", I've already asked them, they're the first people I asked. I'm here for an outsider's (objective) point of view/personal opinion.

   • ANSWER:
     I think you should go to the person/people paying your bills while you flail around looking for that elusive bird of happiness. Ask them the question.

4. QUESTION:
   What's the best film school if you want to be all rounded(direct,produce,write etc),yet have zero experience?
   I really would like to get into a prestigious school, definitely among the top five, and money is no object, but experience is! the most i've ever done is take those really basic home videos. i'm a student at a university in nairobi kenya, i'm currently doing a degree in communications, but would like to transfer next year. lacking a portfolio,1.should i take the basic video production and screenwriting course at my university or just apply as i stand?and 2.which would be the best for an all rounder-write, produce, direct, edit, score, market etc etc...[we have few film proffesionals here(Kenya) so its better to have broad training], 3.and an international student? 4.which is the best regarded by the industry? 5.which graduates more prolific film makers? help i'm running out of time, and internet searches seem to be muddying, not clearing my insight? then again i gather that different schools have different philosophies/approaches to teaching film? what should i be looking for?

   • ANSWER:
     The best in the US would be UCLA, USC, NYU, followed by the AFI, Cal Arts, Univ of Chiago, Emerson, University of Montana Bozeman. On a non-credit basis (it's best to do this after college) the Sundance program is conisdered outstanding. But unless things have changed they do not give an accredit degree only a diploma or certificate. Sundace would make a great post grad studies place.

5. QUESTION:

   C. Population Groups Served

   • ANSWER:
     The business proposal is too long-winded and repeats itself regularly. The parts regarding filming events and capturing them onto dvd etc are mentioned several times, and yet this is not a unique service - it is readily available in the marketplace. It only needs to be mentioned once. Concentrate more on the unique elements of the business such as the internship and exactly how that will work. Write down each individual aspect of the business and then allocate each point to one of the Sub-headings, so that you are not repeating yourself. In section A (business overview) the line "Video Memory was generated after a successful attempt to create a treasured digital video memory of the owner’s daughter" implies that you are absolute beginners - I'd change that! Don't use the word attempt.
     You will need to have a good, clear financial layout for people to look at, as well as a financial business plan for the future.
     It would also be worthwhile asking someone to double check the grammar and punctuation before you submit the plan - it's ok but could be better.
     Good luck with the venture.

7. QUESTION:
   What would help my chances of getting into College the most? General guidance needed 4 CompSci/Football Guy.?
   First off, a little back story so that you'll understand everything. Basically, didn't do that well in High School just getting low B's and High C's despite the simplicity of those courses. I just didn't think any of it would be that important at the moment, and now its coming back to bite me in the a$$.

   Well sort of anyway, I spent the time I was supposed to be doing homework learning computer programming and other divisions of computer science. I graduated high school May 2009, and wasn't sure if I wanted to go to college yet so I gave myself a year off.

   Now it's January, and I'm wanting to go to college. I just took my SAT's and will be getting my scores back on February 19th. I've been looking at Colleges such as:

   Rice University (First Choice)
   Harvey Mudd (heard this school was tough, but i've always liked a challenge)
   University Of Texas at Austin (School i've always dreamt of going to)
   Texas A&M
   Ohio State
   University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
   CalTech

   I am VERY interested in genetic programming, and have been toying around with it lately. I am also well versed in OOP principles, and making flexible, reusable, and extensible programs. I have experience developing software for clients via freelancing websites such as rentacoder.com and scriptlance.com.

   As you might be able to tell, I am very confused as to what I need to do now. I was wondering if applying genetic programming to solve some sort of problem would increase my chances of getting into these schools. Would any other type of computer programming projects help my chances of getting in? Is my real world software development experience helpful in getting me into college?

   Also, my family is making little to no income right now so I should be eligible for financial aid. I have found a ton of resources online, but I'm not sure what to do with all of them. I'm basically lost right now, and asking for some guidance for anyone that has been in a similar situation. Also, here is a list of skills that I have:

   HTML
   CSS
   Graphic Design (beginner to intermediate)
   PHP (5 years experience)
   MySQL
   Perl
   Python
   C# (3 years experience)
   *nix administration
   I'm great with Regex
   Security vulnerabilities (hackthissite.com hellboundhackers.org and finding vulner. on local machine)
   C++ (beginnner)
   Java (beginner to intermediate, very similar to C#)
   Search Engine Optimization
   Internet Marketing
   Affiliate Marketing
   E-commerce
   Ad copy testing/tracking conversions
   Google Adwords Specialist

   I also might consider playing football in college, here are my relevant attributes:
   6'4 198 lbs
   4.6 40 yard dash
   225 lbs X 1 (weak I know)
   32" vertical
   4.43 20 yard shuttle

   Another thing of note is I have impeccable balance and control of my body due to training parkour for 2 years. Here is parkour:

     Real Estate
     My own company.
     I go to people's houses to put them up for sale or i take buyers out.
     I run the office and am the broker because every realty company has 1.
     Most fun is when someone sells or buys a house. All smiles.
     Problems: the house is not selling. The buyers don't like anything they see.
     I make all the money decisions. I set all appointments and budget my time.
     No % of time. I take the business as it comes.
     I was a schoolteacher before this job.
     Skill: being able to be relaxed when talking to strangers.
     I worked for another realty company for 18 years, then opened my own.
     The financial crisis means that everyone is not buying houses and loans are harder to get.
     My job is exciting. I do not get paid a salary. If i don't sell a house, i get no money.
     I think this is an exciting career and highly recommend it. You can work for another agent as an assistant for a while but that only postpones the day you have to go full-time on your own.
     You work for someone else for 3 years until you can obtain a broker's license which allows you to open your own company. I waited too long.
     No special words of warning or encouragement. Life is full of mysteries..

    i'v been through many hard situation in my life since my teenager period with a lonely childhood. but i was always searching for better, never let my self down, looking to the positive side of life, seeking knowledge and learning, enhance my skills and abilities towards better and better, care about people around i don't have the ability to say No to anyone if he/she needs anything i can do, and having this hope to achieve my dreams.
    In my lonely teenager (no friends, no family support, no lovers), i never lost this hope of being better person. i remember that i used to motivate myself i had that faith of better tomorrow, full of hard work and success in most aspects of my life. years later although my efforts but it was effortless.
    Now am 28y, holding a master degree of international business administration with high grads, smart, creative, dedicate to work, SURPRISING with no job...!!! probably you have say "search for job immediately" .. i started my career during college in order to be ready for the real market, and most probably got the job of my dream.. but things didn't go well.
    i was graduated (with high grads, some experience and good courses) but hardly found a job.. it was very bad to the point they told me u r over qualified, but with pleasure i took it. i swear i worked hard to achieve any satisfied results but after a while company closed. i set at home LONELY doing nothing, with ZERO achievement. after a few months i found a great position (suits my qualifications and my personality). it was really a great company as i took my training in the HQ out side my country as i was from the opening team in my company.
    i enjoyed working very hard to prove myself, when i got too frustrated i decided to start my MBA so i could move to better position. but after 2 years suffering from my manager's treatment i lost all my efforts. as my manager stolen from the company with the corporate of my team, when i discovered this. her boss threaten me that i ll take the same banality if she take it (although i provided him with documents included videos that she is a thief) later i knew that they all work together and i had no place. i tried to bring the entire situation to the notice of the upper management but i couldn't, even when i quit they refused to make the final interview with me.
    this was from 2 ys since then i searched hardly to find SUITABLE job, then i started to find job any job. talking to people i know, searching the internet, newsletters, i knocked all the possible chances even if they are insignificant. till now i couldn't find anyone..!!! i have no limits in self development, since i quit my job i 'v read a lot in different areas, and also i got my master, dressed well for interviews with reasonable confidence, read well about the company and make my self prepared with professional attitude. why am a useless person in this market after all i have done????? people know me think that am a lier and probably have a good job with sum money at the end of each month. i swear to them that I HAVE NO JOB TILL NOW. they said "it is impossible that one likes you with no job"....... but guys here i am sitting at home..
    Am sure you would say, but you have your personal life so u r useful to you family. here is the answer. i was raised and lived outside my country so i lost all my relatives and when i returned to home my parents got divorced and my father decided that he don't wanna be in our life again forever. i got chocked and become more lonely as my father was my ideal. so i lost the person that always supported me in my child i tried hardly to stay in communication but he become no longer dedicate to this relation.
    i was in a relation with someone for 5 years, we got engaged, he was the only person i loved ever from all of my heart, i accepted his hard life and i promised to help him as much as i can (although he is successful), i never blamed him in anything he did with me, i always gave him excuses. in return he gave me a package of pain (just like the offers we got from supermarkets), he was careless, to the point he never gave me my Birthday Party's gift...!!!!. i broke up many times but he always back in my life telling me that he loves me and YEH i do wanna believe him.
    we decided that we have to continue this relation and make it success, he proposed me.i can't describe the moments that i lived, he lighten my hurt, i want to tell everyone that am happy, i loved everyone around me, i forgave everyone hurts me, i would do anything to light the world to make anyone happy. deeply i had this feelings that this it is just a dream, and Yeh i discovered that he cheated me, he married a women while we were engaged (at that time i had no idea), he left her and

    • ANSWER:
      Well.. since you do believe in God, there's a passage in the Bible that goes something like this:

      Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

      If you're not actually Christian, I guess you might feel your purpose is to live happy, make love, and have a good life. But the verses above are basically the meaning of life for any Christian.. making disciples of all nations, as in teaching God's word throughout the world.

11. QUESTION:
    Introduction to Computers....Tell me the subject and what you like about it.?
    The information age is upon us, and every corner of our lives has been affected. Everything we do—our work, our play,
    the way we communicate, commerce, and our relationships—has been affected by computers. Becoming computer
    literate—being familiar enough with computers that you understand their capabilities and limitations and know how to
    use them—has become a necessity to succeed. Becoming computer literate is what this course is all about.
    Now that the personal computer is such a large part of our lives, knowing how to analyze, choose, purchase, and
    maintain your own computer system are required skills for success in the academic and business worlds. Being a savvy
    consumer will help you accomplish all the things on this slide. It will save you money, make you more productive, help
    you protect your identity, and ensure you have a working system when you need it. As technology evolves, you will also
    be able to keep up and adapt.
    Information technology (IT) is the set of techniques used in information handling and retrieving information
    automatically. IT includes computers and telecommunications. IT careers are on the rise, and the seven fastest-growing
    occupations are all computer related.
    Regardless of which profession you pursue, if computers are not already in use in that career, they most likely will be
    soon. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that by 2010, 70 percent of the U.S. workforce will be using computers at
    work. Becoming truly computer literate—understanding the capabilities and limitations of computers and what you can
    do with them—will undoubtedly help you perform your job more effectively.
    Business around the world is conducted on computers. Information is stored in enormous databases. To make meaning
    of all that data, businesses use a process known as data mining.
    Retail systems called Personal Shopper Systems are provided by some stores. These small computers show shoppers
    information such as prices, specials, and total purchase price.
    Some businesses use package tracking with wireless Bluetooth technology. Every segment of business has been
    transformed by the computer.
    The creative arts have also been enhanced by computers. Artists communicate and collaborate across oceans. Writers
    and editors complete their work together from across the country. New forms of graphic arts and cinematography are
    introduced every day, all globally and immediately. Even dance has been enhanced with the computer.
    The computer and video game industry is enormous. In fact, revenues from computer gaming in the United States have
    surpassed revenues from Hollywood. Very intricate programming is behind these games. The animations are the result
    of years of research and development, with new games being developed every day.
    Because computer games are best developed for a local market by people native to that market, game development will
    most likely stay in the United States instead of being outsourced as many programming jobs have been.
    Computers have given teachers tremendous new tools for presenting information and keeping records.
    Colleges offer full degree programs, totally over the Internet.
    Vast stores of information are available wherever there is an Internet connection. Libraries have brought the computer
    into their operations. Training tutorials are used to teach new tasks and research is done from the desktop. Education
    will never be the same as it was.

13. QUESTION:
    Please rate my essay. Tell me what I can do to improve it!?
    No, this is not for school. I am doing this so that I can one day... maybe actually get an A on an essay I write.

    Bill Gates once stated "I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user." This quote is one of the most correct statements that can be said by one human. Many of the applications and activities that you find important or vital to your day to day routine are made from scratch from highly trained computer scientists. Computer science is an ever growing profession that more and more students are getting interested in each day! Computer science is a well paying, enjoyable, and useful skill to learn.
    With deep skills in computer science, you will accumulate a well paying salary each year. This does not promise that you will have your dream car with your dream home and that you will live happily ever after, but some of the most famous and richest people in the world are computer scientists! Bill Gates, for instance, is one of the all time most richest people in the world, and he is, guess what, a computer scientist! Almost all of software engineers are computer scientist. There are no fighting the facts on that computer scientists are one of the most well payed people on the whole planet! According to www.computermajors.com, computer science web developing can earn you an annual earning of up to ,520, and those who specialize in computer and online security can earn up to ,000. With that money, you can buy everything you need in life, and more. Evidence from www.ssa.gov displays that the average paying job in the United States in 2008 was ,335. The annual salary of a computer scientist is more than double that. With a pay check like this, there is no doubt that you will be living in style with luxuries! If money is what you are looking for, you might want to take computer science in consideration!
    If you have ever played a video game before, then you should be fairly familiar with how enjoyable they are! Kids these days are spending hours and hours a day. Information from www.diyfather.com gives evidence that teens from the age of thirteen to eighteen years old play fourteen hours of video games per week! That is equivalent to two hours a day. If you have a normal scheduled day of school, a teen may have around five or six hours a day. If they play video games or an average two hours a day, that is one almost half of their free time! Creating the games can be just as fun, if not more fun, as playing them. Creating the games gives you full customization of every aspect of the program or game that you are creating! There are no boundaries to where and where you can not go with game programming! A computer science programmer will make a comfortable and very suitable salary with this also, as well as doing something that you love!
    Many people often consider learning computer science as a skill for many reasons, but in particular, because it is a great skill to learn! There are many paths you can go down with the career of a computer scientist! You may want to revolutionize the world with the next amazing robot gadget, or even create the next best selling computer or console game on the market! A computer scientist would as well, make a comfortable living too. Without all of the computer scientists today, we would, no doubt, not be even close to where we are today! Cars would be buggies, computers would be typewriters, and so on. Almost everything we use on earth involves some computer science to create. Without computer science, you can say goodbye to the internet, and the rest of the computer all together! Computer science has revolutionized todays world, and will continue to revolutionize tomorrows world.
    Overall, the facts are that computer science is a very important thing to human survival, and will never steer you wrong. Becoming a computer scientist would get you lots of money to spend on necessities and luxuries that would make life fun. People will respect you for your high education, and may even envy you if you are Superior to them! Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak are some very famous and well known computer scientists for todays technology. Who will be tomorrows?
    Thank you first answer. I know about how "you"s are bad.... I was just to lazy to do it before I put it on here.

    • ANSWER:
      you have a really good thesis and beginning paragraph. usually you want to try to refrain from using you in a formal essay as well as using the MLA way to cite sources. like instead of saying what website the information comes from you'd actually use the author's name. you can lead it in like you did or say the information and put their last name in parentheses after the sentence. oh and humor is good, as long as its not obvious and sarcastic like, "and he is, guess what, a computer scientist!"

      it's pretty good, I'd give it a B. I'm studying to be an English teacher so i hope this helps. ^^;
