Then why in the world do you need to answer a Masters-level question?\n\nAre you returning to college, and are in your first graduate class? How can that be if you don't have a Bachelor's Degree?\n\nHave you talked to your professor(s) and your adviser about it? You can ask for sample questions with "good" answers so that you can get a feel for what they are looking for.\n\nIf you feel your basic knowledge is lagging behind because your time out of school, talk to your advisor about auditing lower level classes addressing current knowledge and skills.

Nope, no loser here.  You are 27 years old, so?  You are better prepared than most of the 20 year olds in your classes.  Forget what everyone is doing, they are not in your shoes.  Set your goals, do your best and lighten up on yourself.\nNone of us really knows what our purpose in life is, only a few ever come close.  Don't you think that your practical experience can help you reach where you want to be and what you want to do?  Go for it girl (I'm twice your age and can get by with that)!\nThe only thing in your way is doubt.  Trust yourself.

I'm crap at maths because I'm numerically dyslexic (I think it's called dyscalcula), so i see numbers jumbled up and have no concept of mental arithmetics. It's not for want of trying! I tried 3 times to get my CSE (it was a long time ago) and got a grade 2 each time. One of the hardest days of my life was when I had to do a numeracy test in order to do teacher training - I just scraped through - after weeks of revision and testing myself. If I can do it, so can you!

Gee,is this only for new grads?  Oh well,going to answer anyway. I graduated a long time ago. I've accomplished a lot in my lifetime,but am just going back to college now to finish my degree. I felt that something was lacking in my life,and this is it. I need my masters degree to feel complete.

face that circumstances, that is your challenge and training because someday when you'll finish your studies and you will have a job for you, and then you will have so much work to do so you'll have to work it over time, you can be easily adjust it because of your experience. don't just give up...that's normal. i'm also studying in a university and i already experienced more than that, i wasn't sleep the whole week, i thought that assignment could kill me but after all, i learned so much in it. i was happy when i got my high grades and now i'm ready to face the next challenge being a student. so, good luck. always think that the more you work hard the more earnings you will have. GOD BLESS

I just graduated from Glasgow Uni and although I am too sick to work I looked into my options. The first was postgrad study and the second was work. \n\nAnyway, I went to a careers place and they said I had to go back to Glasgow Uni to get advice as I just graduated. I picked up some books and started to read. The books were graduate jobs, that are designed for graduates with and without specialised degrees. With Maths, Computing and Accounting you could apply for these jobs and be offered a specailised place based on the fact that you are qualified in these areas.Look out for graduate careers, rather than just jobs. \n\nI think you are asking the wrong question because you were given the wrong advice. For example, microsoft have graduate career jobs. And even if you are not qualified enough, you are probably more qualified than they are asking for and will train you in any area they need to. If you are willing to take any field, then these is so much out there.\n\nGo to any Uni, go to the careers service and ask for books on graduate careers. They are free for graduates to take home and you will be surprised at your options without developing a 'network of contacts'. You see, these jobs are not advertised in the same way as normal jobs, and are only available to graduates.\n\nI know it really isn't answering your question, but it is the answer to the question you should have been asking, had you been given the right information.\n\nHope this helps and good luck.

She may need to take a break from study and restart a Primary course next year, as after Christmas the majority of the course will be spent on placements.\n\nThe best thing your girlfriend can do is talk it over with her tutor/mentor, as each training establishment will have slightly different regulations.\n\nIf she didn't have the required class of degree to start the course in September, they may not accept her now either. Or was she thinking of transferring to a different institution?\n\nShe may be best to keep her options open by doing a Middle Years (Key Stage 2/3) course, as this would qualify her to teach in both Primary and Secondary schools

Why don`t you do 3 A`s and the GCSE? I think you`ll find anything else too much. You have to have leisure time as well!

First, you have to evaluate if online courses are for you or not? If you are someone who perform better by interacting with the others (professors and classmates), you might find it difficult at the beginning because you hardly see them. Second, you have to see how disciplined you are in your daily life. You do need to put in the hours required in order to get a good grade. If you are only half-serious about it, don't really spend your time and money pursuing it. \nThe best way to approach it is to: \n(1) find a good university with a good reputation.\n(2) once you're registered, find out all the resources a school can give you. Get into online discussion groups, contact your tutor etc.\n(3) Allow some time (even if it means sacrificing personal time) to study and complete all assignments. \n(4) Work towards a goal--may it be a degree, diploma or certificate.\nOpen University UK offers really good courses and is very reputable. Take your time to look around for the right school and right course for you. Good luck.

If you have to stay in sydney for 9 weeks to study before you can go home. You should stay. Sorry you are feeling like this - I too miss my home, but due to circumstances beyond my control I am still not able to go home after 25 years - but i will one day:) \nTry to be patient and put all your energy into your studies, it will be worth it in the end. :)

Well, school jobs unfortunately don't pay very well, but if you work your way up, maybe you could get a really good teaching position in a private school?\nYou have to think about what your best subjects are, and what you are interested in, and then maybe you can share your knowledge with us!\nGood luck!\n~ A Year 9. =)\n\nPS: I am pretty sure that you do not need a degree in everything to teach, but you do need one in your best subject. If you want to be a primary school teacher, you will have to have a lot of GCSEs, I think. But if you want to work in a secondary school, teachers of Maths are wanted and they get paid a lot more.\nMy Geography teacher had to retake her O levels or something in Geography, but she's still the best Geog teacher I've had!

I have a Bio degree & totally agree. I got it 10 years ago, but am sure the load is as heavy. I definitely needed a support group!\nI had to take a couple levels of physics & chemistry as requirements & believe that all of them were hard, time consuming & draining.  \n\nHang in there, though because it'll feel awesome when you're finally done.

Clemance, my young friend. you cannot change the past. If you want to succeed in life, use the frustration you are feeling to energize yourself, focus on the future, you are still able to get an education, stop worrying about what happened and move on. Of course you have been through a tough time, the people you have lost would not want you to fail, Your life is in your own hands now. Come on mate you can do it.

sorry you've had such alot to deal with all at once. this may be time to think about what you really love doing and perhaps re-training, taking a qualification or thinking of setting up your own business. have a chat to an adviser at learndirect and ask your job centre about the Shaw Trust. As a disabled person there are schemes and grants available to help you make a new start. good luck.

Keep in mind that you are only beginning your education. You don't know if you'll be in college 2 years, 4 years or another 9 years (if you go for an advanced degree). The more prepared you can be right now will only benefit you in college and beyond. Tell yourself that the big picture (i.e., your future regardless of what it is) is more important than the moment. Try and let go of the idea that you have made your final achievement, but rather you are only approaching 1 major step toward loftier goals. Lastly, if you have random periods of low motivation, that's okay. It's normal to feel this way, but just because you feel it, does not make it fact. You decide your behavior, not your feelings. Good luck.

Well in the first place , there are too many people in uni doing "media studies", what the hell is it?  I don't know which part of the UK you are in , but i know in London the education service is screaming out for teachers. You get a 5k golden hello , that's how desperate they are. Mate you are 25 , have a degree , stop feeling sorry for yourself, get up off your backside and start job hunting!

There's two routes.  You can either do a B Ed degree or, if you have a degree already, do the PGCE (1 year long).  \n\nThe days of being able to enter the profession without a degree are gone - although, frankly, why on earth one needs to have studied Beowulf to teach kids to read is beyond me.\n\nSupplementary - Yep although you may be well advised to check on the current level of demand for teachers in that age group - a couple of years ago alot of people were coming out of training only to find it difficult to find jobs.
