Hi all! What 4 year college degree major do you think has the highest return (ROI) on investment in lifetime earnings? I think it’s any computer-related or engineering-related field major but that’s my opinion. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

MBA program. How do I make the transition from one field to another?

by admin on Jul.02, 2010, under Higher Education (University +)


I’ve taken my GMAT already, and I’m in the process of applying to several Universities for the MBA program. The question is how do I make the transition from my current IT field under which I’m bored out of my mind and go in to the field of finance/accounting. Obviously I would need education background to make such a transition. Is my only option to just finish the MBA program then make the jump after 2-3 years?

Could I get a job in forestry in Hawaii if I got a degree for that field from Penn Foster Online Schools?

by admin on May.30, 2010, under Higher Education (University +)


I’m very interested in the field of forest and wildlife conservation. I know that Hawaii has careers in forestry. I’m wanting to get my degree online from Penn Foster. I’m wondering if I would be accepted into a position with that. I also plan on moving to Hawaii with my wife within the next 5 years, which is why I want a forestry job there.

I’m a 16-year- old junior from Texas. I’m homeschooled but have taken 4 classes at my local community college and will take 12 next year. I hope to take 5 ap tests this summer. I have not taken any subject tests yet but I plan to take some this Spring. I have a 2250 on the SAT (I just got my scores back). I have a 4.0 GPA from my co-op (where a lot of homeschoolers come together to learn from homeschool moms who are educated on the subject they teach) and a 4.0 from the community college, having taken arabic 1 & 2, algebra, and US history. I got a 214 on the PSAT so I might also be a national merit scholar. I’m in the homeschool national honor society (Eta Sigma Aplha) and I hope to become the Community Service Organizer. I’m trying to earn the congressional bronze medal. I am the co-president of my debate team and mentor newbie debaters. I also am a regional champion in debate. I participate in the Model UN, specifically the Harvard Model UN and the Texas Model UN, as the president of the homeschool UN club. I participate in boy scouts and hope to get eagle. I have been a scribe and a patrol leader, having won best booth in show at a scout show and wining the national honor patrol award and the troop honor patrol award. I play varsity tennis. I am the editor of my troop’s newsletter. I am in my church’s choir and am president of the boy’s choir. I am the founder and editor of my co-ops yearbook with around 200 kids. I am also the president of my co-ops model congress club. During the summer, I participate in debate camp, boy scout camp, my church’s vbs, and i travel alot, usually to egypt to immerse myself in arabic. I used to have a jobas my church’s av operator, but then I started doing it for free. Which brings me to my volunteer work. Besides all the stuff I do for scouts and the honor society, I am the reader for my church, as well as a sunday school helper. I;ve gone on 7 mission trips with my church to help deaf children in rio bravo mexico. I campaigned for John McCain for 3 hours, tuesdays and thursday, for 5 weeks, and I volunteer at a homeless shelter every month for 5 hours. I think that’s it. What do you think? oh, also, I’ll be interning for my congressman this summer.

Masters Degree in Marketing (Branding, Promotional Campaigns) instead of Marketing in General?

by admin on Aug.12, 2009, under Higher Education (University +)


Are their universities in the US or the UK that offer a Masters Degree (Of Science or Business) in Marketing (Branding, Promotional Campaigns)…

instead of Marketing in General as a Masters Degree?

I have found places that offer MBA’s in Marketing only, with no majoring in specific aspects of the marketing process.

This is my essay which I’ve just completed. Please correct my faults if you can and give me your opinion. Thank so much !

TOPIC: HOW MANY TYPES OF ADVERTISING ARE THERE? PRESENT THE FEATURES AND EXAMPLES OF EACH TYPE. ANALYZE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THEM.

Nowadays, almost companies can’t lack advertising to introduce their products or services to market. There are many types of advertising. Each type has different role and appropriateness. So, this essay will focus on three types in three paragraphs. Introducing about print advertising in the first paragraph; and then, introducing mass media advertising in the second paragraph; and finally, introducing outdoor advertising in the third paragraph.

Today, advertising products via print media is a common practice. The print media include all newspapers, newsletters, magazines, booklets, pamphlets, and other printed publications. The role of print advertising is to offers basic information about the company, their products or services to the selected audiences. Most print media are local. Magazines, on the other hand, have always been national, although there is a trend today toward localization and specialization. There are a huge amount newspapers and magazines are published everyday. But only some types tend to a particular group people. For examples, sporty newspapers are written for men, teenage magazines for teenagers, etc. Therefore, select the right type of newspapers or magazines is important decision of the company, which may reach larger selected audiences. According to a statistic, in Vietnam, at present, there are about 600 newspapers and magazines. Almost companies, which are operating in Vietnam, are advertising via print media; for examples, Vinamilk, FPT, Honda, etc.

Mass media advertising is popular most and impact in people’s awareness of the companies and their products. This type includes TV, radio and internet. Mass media advertising is more than simply persuasive messages. Through text and through images, the ad conveys values and beliefs, and these have meanings for those who read, listen or watch them. In this type, cost is the main obstacle for companies which want to advertise on TV. Moreover, just as print ad, mass media ad also has many channels tend to many different objects. Consequently, if the company advertises with reasonable duration and right channel, the company will not waste more money and their advertising still effective. Due to the great role of mass media in the life, nowadays, there are many companies use mass media for their main publicity. For instance, Unilever present their products as OMO and Comfort, P&G with Tide and Downy, etc.

Outdoor advertising, one of the oldest and most enduring forms of advertising, is advertising on signs that are located outdoors in public places. This form includes billboards, trade fairs, sporting evens, etc. Outdoor advertising captures the viewer’s attention 24 hours a day. True, it has limited coverage. But a well-planned outdoor campaign can effectively cover most major markets. The main features of this type are brevity of the message and cannot target customer. So, the message usually is slogan of the company, such as Canon Corporation with the slogan is “Delighting you always” or Toyota with sentence “Moving forward”, etc.

In short, using which types and using on which time is important decision of the company. In my opinion, with carefully choosing, the company can get what they need from all the variable advertisements
