Post Graduation
Somebody, anybody, please well me why it has to be so hard? Finding a job even entry level to begin my career is probably going to be the death of me. I graduated from college in 2015 with a Bachelor's Degree in healthcare administration. No one told me that it would be so difficult to find a job, let alone an internship, once I was done. But then again, no one told me how quickly the people would be begin to call wanting to know when and how you would be paying back student loans. When I was in high school, the guidance counselor stressed us so hard about preparing for college. My high school was a preparatory academy so not going to college was not an option for the students that attended. Even if it was a community college. They made sure that we had every option. They made sure that we were prepared for the SAT and ACT. They also made sure that we had numerous college representatives coming to speak to us. Everyone boasted about how great their campus was and what the school could do for you. I’m sure we have all been there. Ever noticed how they never speak about the cost or the chances of finding a job once you have completed your studies? They never spoke of it and my counselor also failed to mention that it would be extremely difficult to begin your career post-graduation. “College is going to be a great experience for you.” Wrong! My college experience was AWFUL! I exhibited the most depressive moments when I was at college. It wasn’t until I left the incredibly expensive four-year university and resumed my studies online that I felt some peace and comfort with the whole college experience.

Is Music a Good Choice for a Major?
My Journey of Picking Music as My Major in College In high school, I knew my passion was singing. I would look forward to chorus, I quit the cheerleading team to be in the musical and some of my favorite moments were when we would be waiting for rehearsal and we would start singing a cappella all in harmony and melody... it was beautiful.

10 Things No One Told Me About Art School
I pretty much applied to Art School on a whim. It was my freshman year in college, and I was miserable at the uppity private school I was attending. I knew I needed to transfer out. Already under crippling student debt, I searched through the programs at the state university near my hometown and found they had a Visual & Performing Arts College within the university. I had taken a few film photography classes and I fell in love with photography. So, when I found a photography program, I put together a portfolio and applied to the program and by the end of the semester, I had been accepted. But, the truth is, I really had no idea what I was getting into. While my overall experience in art school has been positive, there are some things I wish someone had told me before I had committed to the program.

Top Online Associate's Degree Programs
There's a variety of reasons why you might be skeptical of studying online, but of late it's become a growing phenomena that's almost easier than going to a state or university schools, which tend to be worth upwards of 10 grand. My advice would be to first ask yourself if you want online learning, or brick and mortar, since this is the rest of your life your working on benefiting. Once you've made that decision, go and gain the insight of studying a degree online via distance learning. It will be the difference between actually retaining the knowledge from online courses, versus simply "just doing it."

Getting a degree from one of the top private universities can easily leave you with a debt as high as $150,000 for a Bachelor's degree. In the case of medical degrees, becoming a doctor only to realize that you hate it can be a million dollar mistake.

Strive for Greatness
Education is the key to success! My entire life has been a learning experience, from reading books to increasing knowledge in the healthcare field. Although, there is a misconception of hard work pays off vs. it is not what you know but who you know. Someone asked me one day, “What does it mean to have all those degrees just to accumulate debt?” I personally prefer to set goals for longevity and not just live in the moment. It is the norm to buy a car, have brand clothes, and look the part of financially set. Well, I am here to tell you that looks can be deceiving, and the only person to impress is yourself through elevation. Therefore, an education provides financial stability, career advancement, and fulfillment of Maslow’s Hierarchy theory.
