As a career I hoping to be a solicitor. But I want to live and Work in America (Washington to be exact, note not Washington DC). As an English citizen would it be easier for me to go to University in America to study law or would it be easier to go to university in England, and then go to America?

Any other information on how I would go about moving to America or applying to an American University would also be appreciated :).
Thanks

Are you British or American?
Because Universities are not free, they are pretty much the same as an American University.

My friend really wants to become a Virgin America Airlines flight attendant. She asked me if it is realistic. I’m wondering too. Is it a realistic career?

Ah…the thrill of being a black man in corporate America. Actually, it’s not all that bad, but it sure isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. There are some inherent problems, but, sure, there are some benefits too. Not everyone makes you feel as if you are the token of the organization, but, still, some things continue to need addressing. I’d like to explore those issues, good and bad, one by one.

Many black men won’t even consider a position in corporate America. Why? Well, for a lot of us, it’s just too darned hard to play the dual roles that are expected of us when we join the corporate ride. To many of our white counterparts, we’ve not earned the right to be there, and to many of our own black contemporaries, we’ve “sold out” to white America.

You know, I’m not sure that it has to be either way. I have a female friend who hails from Canada and we were recently discussing the issue of “blackness” in this country. She’s a black woman and has encountered a great deal of resistance from the black community for her desire to participate in corporate life. She has been criticized for talking, dressing, and acting…”white”.

Yet, for my friend, there’s no such thing. Remember, she’s from Canada. For her, there is no identity crisis between culture and career goals. And, you know? I have to agree with her. Success within corporate America for a black man is the same as it is for any American. We’re not selling out. We’re simply grabbing an opportunity and running with it; just like any other American would.

So, is seeking a career in corporate America a sell out? No way. Most of us play different roles at work and away from work. For a black man, maybe the difference between the roles is greater than for someone of another cultural background, but it is no less a role. I say grab the brass ring wherever you can and in whatever way you can reach it.

Don’t worry about what other people think because you will never get to where you want to go in life. Being successful is not selling out…that is being from being smart, diligent, and hard work. No one can take away your heart and determination - only if you let them. Keep striving hard and be all that you can be.

T asked:


i am really interested in criminology; however, i really do not like guns. i would really not feel comfortable in a career where a gun is required. it seems like every job position in criminal justice requires a gun (at least in America). is this true? are there any positions that i could work at with a masters degree in cj without having to have a gun? i am not interested in the legal field (i don’t want to be a lawyer).

thanks!

Studier Alpha asked:


I’m curious as to why this happened. Is this because women have more sophisticated modeling jobs whilst men are either assigned to be generally suave or shirtless and ****? Or are the careers of both genders both equally complex but the reality shows treated it differently? What is the truth in the fashion world when it comes to what male and women models can look forward to?

There are a lot of things you need to consider before choosing a job.  Aside from knowing what your skills, , interests, and career objectives are, you’ll also have to consider some external factors when you’re looking for that perfect job.  Some of things that could influence your choice would be your expected monthly salary, your office’s location, as well as what your family and friends might think about your prospective job.  Besides these,  you’ll also need to take ever-changing industry trends into account when you’re finally making a career choice.

Listed are just some of the current trends you need to know when you’re in the middle of choosing the right career:

1. Baby Boomers in Retirement

To date, most of the U.S. population is constituted of older individuals about to reach retirement age.  This will ultimately cause an increase in the number of elders needing medical and personal care.  As such, the medical or health care industry has been experiencing tremendous growth in terms of employment.  As a matter of fact, in 2006 alone, this industry provided 14 million jobs across America.

2. Advances and Development in Medical Research

Advancements in technology have given way to specialized treatments and drugs that can beat viruses, diseases, and infections better than ever.    With these developments, the industry needs competent medical workers who  are well-versed in the industry’s newest drugs and can work efficiently with high-tech medical equipment for the benefit of their patients.   All this has increased the demand for more pharmacists, biologists and medical therapists to provide better care to patients all over the country.

3. Wide use of Technology

People all over the globe have been highly reliant on computers and technology for personal and business purposes.  Companies have also invested millions of dollars in keeping up with technological advances to help them reach more consumers, serve their clients even better, and survive the competition in the market.  With these demands, more and more IT specialists are hired by companies.  There is an expected 16 percent growth in employment for IT workers until the year 2016, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.  The hottest jobs in IT now are IT specialists, computer & network engineers and technical support people.

Make these trends not just factors that can influence your career choice.  These can also be your guides in knowing what your professional niche might be.  Weigh all your personal and external factors well so that in the end, you know that the career you’ve chosen for yourself is one that you want the most.
