College Enrollment Going Up!

My mom and pretty much everyone else I know in higher education (my mom is a college librarian) tell me that college enrollment is up. With the recession the way it is, many people are going back to school to improve their education or learn a new trade.

If you decide to go back to school, you will need to think about what path you want to take. For instance, do you want to become a full-time student in a bachelor's, master's or PhD progrm? If so, you might be able to live on campus with your tuition and dorm expenses paid by a scholarship or grant.



Another option is to go through an accelerated program or get a license in something that will take less time, so that you are out and ready to start working as the economy recovers. A good example is FHA training or mortgage broker licensing. The housing market is expected to recover before the rest of the economy, since it caved in before the rest of the economy, so a job in the industry will enable you to earn a living while other industries, such as the stock market and banking industries, are still struggling.

You may also want to consider the value of community colleges, such as the one where my mom works. The cost of classes at these schools is pretty affordable, and they offer a wide variety of associate's degree programs, certificate programs, and licensing programs, as well as the ability to take the first two years of your bachelor's degree there at a much lower cost.

Whatever you decide to do about your education, just know that you are not alone right now in wanting to go back to school. A lot of people are dealing with the recession in exactly the same way — by preparing for when the economy gets better!

Big Sellers

College diploma frames are big sellers in May and June. Most universities and colleges around the United States have their biggest graduating classes during these two months. Since a lot of people receive a diploma at the big event, the next logical step is to get a college diploma frame to display it. Since people’s tastes differ, different styles of frames are often put out for diploma display. Frames come in a variety of different materials, including metal or wood. It just depends upon the style of the graduate as to which frame is chosen for them.

Graduates often receive the frames as a gift, but a few also choose the frames that they want to display their diplomas. It is a matter of taste sometimes as to whether or not the person wants to choose their own frame or not. Going to a framing store during the graduation season will guarantee that there is a big selection to choose from that is bound to make anyone happy. Some framing stores or sites will also offer a do it yourself framing selection. Then you are positive you will get what you want because you can design your own frame.

Who Should Get LEED Certified

You have probably heard the term "LEED Certified" before but do you know what it means? More importantly, do you know whether or not you're someone who should get leed certified? This is a certification that teaches people about sustainable building practices.

You should take leed classes if you fall into one of the following categories:

• You're a builder. Anyone who is involved in any type of construction today really has to know all about the green practices that should be implemented in modern building.


• You're a building designer. If you are involved in any aspect of building design at all then you should work in conjunction with builders to make sure that your designs are green-friendly. Leed classes can help with that.


• You own a company. If you are the head of a company then you may want to take some of these classes just to learn more about what your business can do to be as green as possible. That's important to your clients so it should be important to you.

Of course, you don't have to fall into one of these categories in order to get leed certified. You could opt to take these classes just because you're interested in green building for any reason. But if you do fall into one of these categories then leed classes are something that you should be thinking about.

Furthering My Audiology Degree

I wanted to further my education. I had been an audiologist for some time now having gotten my undergrad at a traditional four year university. I wanted to get a doctor of audiology. As a very business professional, and a mom at the same time I really needed a program that was going to be flexible enough so that I could fit it in to my busy schedule. It would have to be a degree from a reputable university that was fully approved by the board of audiologists.

The research that I did led me to some unique programs out there. I was very impressed with the one from AT Still University. It is a university that is located in Arizona, in the metro Phoenix area. It is mainly a medical school, with a focus on allied professions. They offer online medical degrees and traditional classroom medical degrees as well as classes that culminate in an advanced degree. Because of the options that were available I would imagine a lot of professionals would find degrees like this very useful in their lives. It really is important to find a program that fits into your life so that you can be even more successful in the profession you have chosen.
