Obama Has Put Out The Call for single Mothers to Return to School

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

For single mothers, there’s never been a more important time than now to get their degrees to provide more opportunities for their families.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 27, 2010 ) New York, NY
With an every deteriorating economy, it seems like the last thing that anyone would want to do is invest more into a government that doesn’t quite know what to do with itself. There’s especially a fear for single mothers out there who haven’t been able to finish their degrees. However, there’s no possible way that anyone, can find themselves in a financially secure situation without at least a basic level of credentials. For single mothers, there’s nothing more difficult than balancing home, job, and the daily turmoil of life. So, the question becomes why would she any single mother want to burden herself with classes and papers, let alone applying for universities.

Single mothers of the world, there is hope for you. You mustn’t allow yourself to fall prey to the rigour of the world without the proper tools to defend yourself and your family. There has been a national push to get single mothers back in school, getting the accreditation they need to become successful women. The trouble comes when attempting to maintain a healthy family life –caring for and rearing your children– and still getting the credentials you need to become a vital part of the socio-economic structure that has been indoctrinated into our systems since birth. A choice that many people have landed upon is that of online study. Though it may seem a bit of a silly idea –taking classes online and being taken seriously once you’ve done so– there’s nothing more important in this economy than earning your college degree.

For any mother, but most certainly a single mother, this could be the impetus they need to get themselves ahead in the world market. With the new administration, there has come a cry for mothers to continue their education. There are a great deal of accredited distance learning programs out there for people who are looking to make an important decision in their lives as pertains their ability to get ahead, to be more than someone who takes care of her children –while she secretly yearns for something for herself and her family.

Everyone needs a bit of help, no matter who they are or their situation. For single mothers, it could be absolutely crucial that they get the guidance that could take them from being without credentials to making an income that will allow them to become more than a sum of their parts. degree, http://www.degree.com/ the Premier Internet Portal for Online Study, has pioneered the search for degree programs for those who need options. Professor Sheila Danzig, taking the helm as the Director of Degree.com, has steered the website to help those who want the chance to better themselves with an upper level degree.

No single mother should have to suffer the slings and arrows of not having the credentials they need to give their family the chance it deserves to move into a more secure future. Begin the New Year with a new lease o n life starting with an accredited online degree.

Nurses – Increase your earnings and stand out from the crowd in a bad economy.

Monday, January 25th, 2010

With larger numbers of nursing graduates preparing to seek employment, cross-training through specialized online degree programs will help you stand out.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 25, 2010 ) Miami, FL – Not long ago, “economy” was a term indicating low cost, no frills. Today, the economy is in every day’s headlines, influencing lives in a major way. The last few months have proven that no business is immune to failure, and no job is forever. With current unemployment high and not likely to change direction soon, many are returning to school to begin life at a new profession. For these non-traditional students, planning for the future begins with choosing a degree program.

Unless you’re pursuing a personal dream career, education decisions usually begin with consulting job growth potential reports. Logically, the direction most students will take depends on where job growth is projected. Combined with the Obama administration’s emphasis on higher education, professions reigning at the top of the opportunity list have subsequently seen college enrollment numbers skyrocket almost overnight. Teach for America , one of many programs developed to remedy teacher shortages in low-income areas by providing alternative teacher certification, reports having received 35,000 candidates vying for 4,100 spots available in 2009.

Public response to recent economic forecasts have been likened to sounding an air horn in a herd of sheep. Presently, nursing and IT careers are reportedly at the top of the list. What will the impact of those predictions be for those now in training? Is it even possible to plan for the future anymore? With a little street-smart foresight, it may still be. Adding a bit of diversity now to your educational portfolio could one day be the flare that gets you noticed in a sea of applicants.

Though greater numbers of registered nurses seeking employment in the near future is almost certain, it’s unlikely that we would experience a glut of trained nursing professionals in search of work. However, just as in any industry, certain types of positions are more desirable than others, and for these, competition is sure to be high. As numerous qualified candidates join the workforce, the need to have a unique advantage, such as a specialization or a skill not commonly associated with traditional nursing duties, could alter the job landscape.

If forecasts prove to be accurate, a registered nurse with a certificate or Associate’s degree in a computer technology field could be the HR discovery of a lifetime, making for a much better investment as an employee than the candidate whose scope is limited to strictly nursing. The impending national shift to a networked health records system could make a nurse with information technology skills a highly valuable asset to a private medical practice. Likewise, a nurse that also has a medical coding background can significantly improve the overall efficiency of a medical office.

Though working nurses now are relatively secure in their professional future, the bar is being raised by the increasing number of their newly educated soon-to-be colleagues. Sheila Danzig, director of Degree.com, (http://www.degree.com) states that college courses available through accredited distance learning programs online have contributed greatly to enrollment increases. But, she is quick to add, learning has no shelf life, and current professionals can also take advantage of various online study programs, such as an Associate’s degree in a computer-related field, in order to add the extra impact that could greatly advance their career one day. On line study can be the ticket to a job in these troubled times.

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

With so many people still in the throes of last year’s health care scare, acquiring an online nursing degree not only ensures an individual’s future, but the future of the industry as a whole.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 13, 2010 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL
Despite the recession and lack of job growth leading into the new decade the biggest hot button issue is healthcare. There are constant debates about healthcare plans; widespread panic over the infamous Swine Flu; and as if that weren’t enough, there’s still the small detail of the fragility of the global economy. Not only is it seemingly unsafe to walk about in the world –seeing as this is flu season, the most dangerous time of year for very young children, college students, and the elderly– it seems that even if you needed to for the sake of paying your bills, the possibility of your acquiring a job are slim to none.

Becoming More Viable in the World Market with an IT Degree

Friday, January 8th, 2010

With the market constantly in decline, it’s time to get one’s self ahead of the pack with a degree that will prepare them for constant technological innovation.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 08, 2010 ) Los Angeles, CA Everyone’s painfully aware of the continuous plummet of job opportunities on the market. There seems to be no shortage of let downs as it pertains to submitting a successful application –ever heard, “We’ll call you if something opens up” or “You may overqualified for this job”? It’s all the same stodge back and forth until it becomes apparent that there’s little to no chance of ever acquiring and retaining a job until this dip in the global economy stabilises itself.

With a steady flow of rejections coming from every which way it’s no wonder people are struggling through the winter. In fact, the only position that most people without degrees are finding themselves in is hopelessly searching for jobs as cashiers or burger jockies. If you find yourself without a leg to stand on, your best hope is to consider acquiring an online degree. Though it may seem somewhat counterfeit, the truth is an ever increasing number of legitimate online universities are making their presence known and are offering degrees that are not only easily attainable, but highly viable in this day and age where you need something to separate yourself from the pack.

There’s no degree more relevant than an IT degree. Whether we’re ready to accept it or not, the digital age is always in bloom. Innovations are always cropping up at all sectors of the business world, and it’s time that those people who want to be taken seriously take a serious look at the benefits of knowing how to work with the constant technological sophistication. There are a number of information technology degree programs in the country that will get you on the career path of your choosing, as well as make you a more viable contender in the world market.

Without the proper channels and, more importantly, the proper credentials you’re sure to be nothing more than another notch on the belt of unemployment. You’ve got to find a way to differentiate your application from all others, and anyone sporting an IT degree will instantly find themselves at the top of the pile.

Investing a year (at most two) in acquiring an IT degree will set you at least two steps ahead of the competition and fully equip you for an ever changing global market.

Insuring That You Get Hired When You Graduate: When to Choose to Specialize

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

A study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that students should specialize later in order to avoid making mistakes, avoid losing skills, and end up better aligned and better matched career-wise.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 10, 2009 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL When you specialize later, you can avoid making mistakes, avoid losing skills, and seem to end up better aligned and better matched.
As students and anxious parents watch the ranks of the jobless grow fast and steadily, the idea that higher education, whether traditional or online classes, or on line study, is primarily about getting skills continues being etched in the minds of many; now more than ever.

Traditionally, it was believed that exposing students to a wide array of subjects and varying educational approaches helps them explore the various career paths. However, a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research spearheaded by Ofer Malamud, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy, indicates otherwise. The report suggests that giving students ample time to figure out their academic paths would ultimately influence them to make better career choices.

Malamud attended high school in Hong Kong, which had a British-style basis and was therefore justified contemplating attending a university in England. Malamud’s first instance of hesitation about going to England manifested because he would be forced to choose a major when he was just about to complete his high school education. At the time, Mechanical Engineering appealed to him greatly but not enough to make a commitment. He wound up going to the US to study for his first college degree.

As is evident from his title, Malamud did not pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering but rather he went towards a totally different career path: as a labor economist where he wondered about education’s relationship to and its effect on career choice. According to Sheila Danzig, founder of Degree.com, http://www.degree.com, the premier internet portal for online study, Malamud’s study was designed for one purpose: to “test whether education provides information [about the student] as well as skills.”

In the study Malamud compared college students enrolling and graduating in England and Scotland. The former apply for a specific field to study in university while in the final stages of high school, while the latter enter a broad faculty for the initial two years and specialize in the remaining half of their stay in college. The Scottish system resembles the US undergraduate system to a great extent.

Malamud managed to follow-up on graduates from the two countries and assess how aligned their career choices were with the areas of specialization they chose in college. This is what Malamud thought: For English students, it would be harder for them to switch out of their current fields in college – say when proceeding to the third year – since they would lose the accumulated skills they had worked so hard to gain in the two years. They would be forced to stick to the field they had begun with even after realizing that it wasn’t their best career path.

The data analyzed from his study indicate that students from English institutions were specializing too early resulting in unsolvable mistakes. “English graduates are 20% more likely than Scottish graduates to end up in careers that are not in line with their areas of specialization in university,” says Malamud. The pattern extends as far as six years after students leave college – not just after graduation.

The Quick Fix to Getting a Job – Fast Track Your Degree

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Instead of wasting time filling out applications, waiting for a response, and then spending hours upon hours of relentless study to earn your degree, online study guarantees you quick and exceptional results without all the hassle.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 08, 2009 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL There’s no price you can put on an education that saves you both time and money. When it comes to spending hours upon hours on rigorous assignments and studying for exams, let’s face, even those who make university study their profession aren’t exactly keen to that task most days. Investing time in online study, however, frees up an incredible amount of time you could be spending making money to support yourself, even your family. You’ve got to make the decision today to advance your career; however, you also must take into account the amount of time you’ll have to spend to do so.

Earning an online degree is a practical advantage to going through the merry-go-round that is university admissions. No more having to get glowing reviews from former teachers. No more having to wade through essay question after essay question. When the most important thing is getting an education, who cares about the song and dance? More and more there seems to be more involved in even being accepted to the school of your choice. More than just the long hours dedicated to study, it’s the time you put in to creating a solid portfolio (a university résumé, if you will) and the waiting you’ll have to do afterwards. If you’ve got a family to feed, you don’t have time to wait for a yes or no answer.

Online courses free up a great deal of time for those interested in simply the classes they need to get the accreditation they need in order to increase their financial standing. Traditional university education involves a great deal more than gaining the knowledge you need in your particular realm of interest; you have to take general education classes, elective courses, even supplemental courses for a complimentary minor to your major. Online study is a comprehensive, straightforward way to get your degree in little as a year and receive the education you need for the degree that you desire.

Degree.com (http://www.degree.com/ the Premier Internet Portal for Online Study) has provided non-traditional students a comprehensive way to find out what classes they need to take in order to further their success in as little time as possible. As the director of Degree.com, Professor Sheila Danzig has helped students increase their market viability. It’s about time you decided to dedicate a year of your life and a few hours a day to getting the credentials you deserve.

Education on a Budget: Economic Advantages of Online Education

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

With the uncertainty of the economy looming in the balance, it has become harder for those who seek and deserve higher education to do so without becoming a part of the financial mudslide.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 02, 2009 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL Let’s be honest –there’s a huge disconnect between the realities of today’s economy and the necessity of earning a college degree from a reputable university. Everyone’s been reading from the same script: education equals success; however, the storyline has changed quite a bit. In order to even consider getting an education, you’ve got to have the success to back it up –that is, it’s no longer simply about education; it’s about how much money you’ve got up front to ensure that the education you’re getting is sound. The business of education is a very fiery debate, causing many to wonder if someone doesn’t have the financial backing to fund his education, how on earth one can possibly manage to get an education, let alone a degree that would guarantee marketability in the business world –ergo, guarantee financial success. It’s true that money should never stop someone from getting the degree they seek, but the reality is it’s a big deterrent in whether many decide to even apply to a big name university. What many need and deserve is an alternative to the overpriced stuffiness of a traditional university. Now more than ever it’s important to realize the advantages of online study. Seeking an online degree is a fantastic option for those who simply don’t have the cash to pay for room and board and tuition –though as with every name brand, for highly sponsored public and private universities one is most likely paying for the label. The beauty of taking online classes is that you’re simply paying for the classes you need to get the degree you need for the success you deserve. As far as tuition is concerned, nothing could be less expensive, considering what you’re paying for. Those seeking to capitalize on their potential and maximise their chances of becoming a viable force in this unstable economy know that the qualification that differentiates the many from the few is the level of their educational credentials. More and more credible online universities are giving people the chances they need to succeed without causing them more financial turmoil. Not only is the tuition a trifle detail, the classes you’ll need to take are fewer than those of traditional universities, and therefore you’re paying less money for the credits you would no doubt need to graduate. The average amount of credits one needs to graduate from a four year college is between 100 and 120. Getting your degree online may trouble you for about a year –that’s about 20 to 30 credits. www.degree.com -The Premier Internet Portal for Online Study was designed with the dedicated student who just so happens to not be a Rockefeller in mind. With multiple options for you to explore, Degree.com will allow you to find the perfect online university to fit your academic and professional needs. Professor Sheila Danzig, Director of Degree.com, focuses on helping students maximize their potential through the website, giving students the ability to become viable competitors in an unstable economy.

Is Your Future Green?

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

In a changing economy, the emerging green industry may be the best career path to pursue for the future.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 02, 2009 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL – With unemployment rates now approaching record levels, many people are choosing or giving serious consideration to a change in career. Making the choice for change in itself is not easy. Choosing a direction with a lucrative future, however, is proving to be just as difficult. The economy is changing, and so, by default, is the job outlook for the future. Career paths that were once considered rock solid for job security are beginning to wobble. A degree in business will be useless if few opportunities to put it to work in the future exist. In such a volatile economic climate, where do you start to make a knowledgeable choice in education and training that will prepare for the future? Start with “green”, as in green economy, green industry and green jobs.

What is “green”? In a report for the US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration by the Occupational Information Network, the green economy is defined as “the economic activity related to reducing the use of fossil fuels, decreasing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the efficiency of energy usage, recycling materials, and developing and adopting renewable sources of energy.” President Obama has placed a priority on building a national clean energy industry that would remedy both our dependence on foreign resources and the need to create new jobs. His plan calls for the development of a definable green economy and industry.

In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, $80 billion has been set aside for clean energy investments. Within that allocation, $600 million is designated for job training in the green industry. But what exactly does someone who works in the green industry do? What kind of green industry jobs will there be, and what training will be needed?

The Occupational Information Network’s report has designated twelve different job sectors that cover what is considered the green industry. The sectors are:

Agriculture and Forestry
Energy and Carbon Capture and Storage
Energy Efficiency
Energy Trading
Environment Protection
Governmental and Regulatory Administration
Green Construction
Manufacturing
Recycling and Waste Reduction
Renewable Energy Generation
Research, Design and Consulting Services
Transportation

Within these sectors, they have highlighted over 100 occupations as either being Enhanced Skill or Increased Demand. Additionally, nearly 50 have been classified as New and Emerging Occupations.

Preparing for a career in any of the green industry sectors ranges, as in any field, from a master’s or bachelor’s degree to certification training. As a developing industry, not all educational institutions have implemented environmental-related programs yet. Recent findings have shown several green industry-focused online degree programs available. These programs include online courses that cover such subjects as sustainability concepts, management of green enterprises and administration of environmental policy.

The relative newness of the green industry and preparing for a career related to it warrants a bit of caution. Sheila Danzig, Director of Degree.com, warns that it is critical to be certain that the institution administering the program, whether it is by way of a physical campus or online study, is accredited.

The Way Out of The Unemployment Crisis: Low Cost Degrees with Online Study

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Amid the economic turmoil that America is going through, the best we can do to uphold the integrity of our education system is to consider the goodness of Online degrees.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 26, 2009 ) Los Angeles, CA – In the wake of economic and employment turmoil, one thing that never changes is the American standard of competitiveness and hard work. The truth is there’s no possible way that anyone can make a comfortable living –or a living that correlates with the so-called “American Dream”– if one doesn’t take the proper measures to ensure his success. As of November 2009, the American education worldwide ranking has dropped from #1 to a devastating #10. There’s no question about it; better education increases our credibility and our competitive edge over other nations who educate their citizens longer throughout the year with more challenging degree programs.

The true enemy is the deplorable amount of money charged those who want to seek higher education but haven’t the means to do so. The numbers don’t lie: virtually hundreds of thousands of college-bound high school graduates do not seek higher education because the cost is unrealistic. Even more sobering, some 40% of those who do manage to attend a university do not finish. President Barack Obama has made it very clear: “All along that education pipeline, too many slip through the cracks. It’s not only heartbreaking for those students; it’s a loss for our economy and our country.”

However, there is an alternative to the overpriced and underfunded programs of traditional university settings. Seeking an online Associate degree, online Bachelor’s degree, or even online Doctorate degree in a number of diverse fields not only costs a fraction of attending a traditional two- or four-year University, it allows anyone the chance to create their very own path to unparalleled success.

As the standard for excellence increases, so does the necessity to achieve the highest academic merits. Though it may have been acceptable to get a job with a high school education 10 years ago, in this day and age it’s nearly impossible to imagine that an honours degree from any high school is enough to suffice for a respectable job. In 2008, Harvard Graduate School of Education conducted a study to find out the rate at which those with higher level degrees managed to find and maintain employment: 46% of those with masters and doctoral degrees received an offer; 25% are receiving between 40 and 49K salaries; 23% are receiving between 50 and 59K salaries. As fashion trends change, so do standards in education. A bachelor’s degree is the new high school diploma; a master’s is the new bachelor’s. One must throw away any notions of mediocrity in this society in which everything is bigger, better, faster, stronger.

At Degree.com, http://www.degree.com/ the Premier Internet Portal for distance learning and on line studies, the focus is to get you back on track to making those dreams of grandeur come to fruition. There are a plethora of online degree programs that one can choose in order to ensure that the path to success is a smooth and fortuitous one. Professor Sheila Danzig, Director of Degree.com, focuses on online degrees to further the student’s market potential. Degree.com has actively sought to help those who desire a degree in order to give them all the information they need to not only help re-establish their academic and economic credibility.
