Please Give Career Advise. In High School I Took Business, Accounts, Economics, Maths.?


then enrolled with ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Uk and passed 10 papers out of 14 in seven years. they have a program affiliated with Oxford Brookes university to award bachelor degree for those who pass 9 parts out of 14 by submitting thesis (research and analysis project). I had hope that even if I fail to do chartered accountancy I will be able to get bachelor degree in accountancy and will continue with job and later masters in accountancy, but unfortunately I failed twice the thesis / project (each time paid Uk pound 115 fees) they allow three attempts and I have no hope that I will be even able to clear it in third attempt because I know I did my level best in two attempts. It appears they have quota to pass limited number of people. in the mean time I did one volunteer work and one paid intern ship for nine months only. at the age of 29 I am no where but groping in dark for my career. I need to find job, marry and settle but I am no where. I even don’t know whether I have interest in accounts, even don’t know I am interested in which field. I was below average student in school and all of my colleagues from school have found work and career. There is not doubt I had learning difficulties in school as well. I may say that I would be ranked last in the class. When attempting professional level accountancy papers I either fail to comprehend the data given and if I comprehend what is required to do I fall short of time. My other positive things is that I am good looking, good health, medium frame body, height 5’3″. I sat for SAT and secured 1100 marks (2003) toefl 100 internet based gave IELTS and got 6.5 band Please tell me what should I do. some time I think that if I marry a girl who is nicely employed and I became home maker (taking reverse role from traditional role of male bread winner and women home maker). Where to go from here. Shall highly appreciate your advise.PLEASE PLEASE

Is This A Good Essay For A College Application?


I want to transfer to a college back in my hometown. I used the common app and the topic was “Please provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.”
Please give some feedback here is the essay:
I graduated from Oyster River High School on June 10, 2011. As soon as early August came around I turned eighteen and moved out to California to pursue my career in acting. Education has always been important to me so I knew before I moved out I had to enroll. By August 25th, I found an apartment, bought a car, and began taking classes at Glendale Community College as a full time student. I created my school schedule accordingly so that I would have time for acting classes, auditions, and meetings with my agent. I’ve been taking care of myself financially without the help from parents or any other relative because I enjoy being independent and on my own.
I’ve been an actor since the age of five. I remember booking my first national commercial and shortly fell in love with acting and film. I’ve worked on many movies and commercials while doing some theater on the side. I created my own website and joined the SAG and AFRTA union affiliations after booking two national commercials and a PBS kids show called “Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman.” I filmed twenty episodes over the course of a few months. Throughout high school I was very busy driving down to Boston and occasionally flying out to Los Angeles and New York for interviews and auditions.
I did a lot volunteer work that was usually during school and required me to fly out of state. For jobs that were union affiliated there was a set teacher present. For jobs that were not involved with the union including college indie films and volunteer work, a set teacher was not present. It was hard to keep up with school work but I was getting educated outside of school with something I loved to do. Senior year I decided to take a break from acting to focus on school and raising my GPA. The first semester of senior year I made high honors and was on the varsity tennis team. It was difficult to raise because GPA is included in all three previous years of high school of which I was more focused on acting. I plan to put education and academics at the top of my priority list because I want to become a University educated actor.
I plan on transferring to a university, specifically Plymouth State, after completing this semester at Glendale college. A few weeks ago I flew back to New Hampshire and visited your campus for a few days and loved it! It’s so beautiful. The ambiance on campus is incredible. Being on campus made me realize that I want to take a break from acting and attend a university. Acting will always be there. After graduating I plan to return to California and continue with acting only this time with a college degree in business. Acting is business of which you have to sell and market yourself. I have real world experience in business and marketing which brought to my attention that business is what I plan to major in. Plymouth State is known to be strong in business and performing arts which fits my needs perfectly.

Do Colleges Care If You Played A Sport During High School?


I’m about to start high school and I want to make the most out of it. I ask this question because I do not plan on playing ANY sports during high school. Will that ruin my chances of going to a good university?
I am thinking of joining clubs like Key club, Recycling club and this other club that does a lot of volunteer work and community service. My mum wants me to join a swim team but the swim team is not school affiliated. does this till count at an extra curricular? I’m trying for Stanford and University of Washington, but still I want to know what you think, will this hurt any of my chances for my future? all answers are appreciated, thank you!
I could play school soccer, but I dunno…

Is The Japan Earthquake Event Really That Bad…or Is It Being Played Up For Media-attention?


I thought it was being played-up, but now it seems like maybe it is worst than I thought. I dont watch the news (part of my religious view…”The Secret”) after finding out they played up a lot of things (and through personal experience of this).
I’m studying Business, Marketing and have become a bit suspicious of believing what I hear until it is set-in-stone.
I applied to study abroad in Kyushu, Japan next year (in around 7 months). Will Japan be okay…
If not, do you think there will be volunteer work I can do to help ppl and animals?
Thanks!

Texas College Choice…?


(Sorry this is going to be long!) I’m a sophomore in high school and I’m trying to get a feel for what college I want to go to. I’ve tried college search, but it’s hard to narrow anything down because some things are nice but not deal breakers and if I put under 50% for something and a college has 51, it rules it out-so it just doesn’t give me a broad idea of what colleges I should look at. So far I’ve considered UT, TCU, Baylor… I’d like to see if I could get into Rice, but it seems too close to home, city-centralized, and kinda boring, you know? A&M is also a great school, but I don’t like it as much as UT. Getting in to a college isn’t a factor of importance, as I’ve always been in all honors and never gotten a B, also being very involved with the school and student government, volunteer work, etc… I play soccer, but plan on stopping after this year. I want to go somewhere I’ll enjoy, I love a pretty campus-rural would be fine with me but I love the perks of the city… so I’m kinda all over the board here. The school needs to be prestige for the most part, I LOVE the TCU campus, but it isn’t that prestige and it’s outrageously expensive. Price shouldn’t be too high. It needs to be in-state, unless I get like a huge scholarship out-of-state. I love the Texas State area next to the river <3 but it's kind of known as a party school? No choice yet on a major, graphic design maybe? But I don't think I want to spend my life in front of a computer. Ummm… I'm Christian (Baptist/Methodist), but I don't mind going to a school not specifically affiliated with my religion, as I enjoy the diversity. Any advice whatsoever would be appreciated-even if it's just your experience from one individual school. THANKS SO MUCH to anyone who helps!!! (:
Oh and I'm looking at a 4-year college.
