iPad for Young children: Should really I Invest in an iPad for My Youngster?

I recently overheard a couple of parents talking about the iPad. They had noticed a young youngster, about 5 years old, playing with an iPad and apparently the parent had told them the iPad was bought for the kid. One father created no secret on the reality he believed this was insane, and that there was a thing wrong with any parent that purchased a $500 computer system for a kid. I asked him if he had an iPad, or had used one. He had not. His opinion was primarily based only around the expense on the device, and also the idea that it was only a well-known trend. Setting aside price for any moment, and assuming the parent does not personal an iPad, is there any valid explanation to purchase an iPad for a kid?

Education Is the Key to Surviving a Bad Economy

August 24, 2019November 26, 2019 - by Myron Bailey

It’s no secret that the economy is still struggling despite the fact the “experts” claim we are out of the recession. So if you have a job, especially a full time one you should feel lucky but not content. There is no rule that says you have to be happy with just having a job.

You can work hard to put yourself in a better situation and try to improve your career path. When this recession really does end, new jobs will open up and be available to people who have the right credentials: a resume, years of experience, and a college education.

However, if you are working a full time job it is hard to go back to school and further your education. That’s why so many colleges have now included their classes online, it gives people the opportunity to get a degree from home by working on their …

Enrolling in a distance learning program is both exciting and overwhelming. There are so many factors to consider when selecting a school. The market is becoming more and more saturated as more universities and colleges add distance learning programs to their current offering.

While distance education programs have evolved to provide quality material, there is still a selection process.

While many students stop after deciding on a major, preparing for admission to an online college requires attention to many factors.

Selecting the wrong school or a school that does not provide the desired results will waste not only time but also money. For the adult student, there is not much time or money to waste. Before enrolling in a program, sit down with a pad and pencil and consider a few key factors.

Continuing Business Education Considered

July 10, 2019November 26, 2019 - by Myron Bailey

Is now a good time to upgrade your business education? Are you working in the military and you wish to move up in rank, if so then you’ll need a degree. If you work in logistics services or you manage a military unit’s financial affairs then it would sure help to have a business degree.

In many companies and corporations if you have a business degree you have upward mobility, and if you already have the job, it makes sense to get the degree so that you stay with the company, and someone else the one that gets laid off, while you receive the promotion. This is where ongoing education comes in, and this might be a very good time to get a business degree. Let me explain.

It appears that there are seats available in some of the top business schools in the country right now, and they need …

Improving Your Future Education and Employment Prospects

June 5, 2019November 26, 2019 - by Myron Bailey

With the cuts in the current economy and everyone being told to tighten their belts by the UK government it appears there is still light at the end of the tunnel for people wanting to gain a better education and better future employment prospects. In reviews of recent research it was found that employers were impressed by both job candidates and current employees who gained qualifications through part-time study whilst being employed in some capacity.

It is widely regarded that employers like when students or employees gain valuable experience through the combination of both work and study. In some cases employers will grant funding to go towards fully paid study tuition to an existing employee. This is seen as not only a commitment by both parties, but also it is a way of sharing an employees career progression and reinforces the employees position within an established workplace, plus adds value …
