Your Questions About Best Home Based Businesses

What major would be best for me?

I’ve been having a lot of difficulties with choosing a major/ an area to study in college. I was initially going to go to California College of the Arts for architecture, but wasn’t able to attend due to financial reasons. I moved to Pittsburgh from Atlanta to live with my mom and have been attending a sub- branch of Penn State since fall of 08. If I stay here I’ll have to stay for another year then transfer to another campus.

I have way to many interests that its becoming impossible to choose a major.. I want something flexible so I can learn what I want, but I also want a degree that will supply me with a job and money to raise a family. And yes I know life isnt all about money.

I was almost certain I would like to pursue a degree in international business and business management, until I took a semester of business courses and wanted to kill myself- so dreadfully boring.

I’ve been looking in “general studies”, but I dont know if thats a legit degree? I really want to study a bunch of things… but I feel that having a specific degree will take me further in life…

I want to learn German while I’m in college, but the only German course that is offered is a web based course and I dont want to flunk out from it being impossible to learn online. I plan to study in Germany my junior year also so taking a few semester of German would be super helpful. I’ve been thinking about transferring schools, but I feel like I was put in this situation for a reason…

I would ultimately like to work for a design/ business firm in Germany, somewhere abroad, or in the US with a firm that has international clients; then later on to work from home…

If anyone has any suggestions please, please, please get back to me.

Thanks!

im not the best writer. does this sound like a narrative paper?

In my 15 years of life I’ve had different memorable experiences with racism from the stories I’ve been told to matters between friends and family and what I’ve seen on television. My parents were born in 1965 and their encounters toward racism are slim. Yes, nicknames were thrown around but not harsh enough to take extreme offense. My mother Theresea has been in a loving relationship with a colored Mississippian man for almost 2 years. He is mainly known for being the uncle of the famous rap sensation Snoop Dogg and his popular restaurant Reo’s Ribs. I assume from the stories he has told me, Mississippi isn’t a walk through heaven. Growing up in a state where racism still existed, it wasn’t his favorite place to call home. Reo has told me his fears of swimming he because he has had close friends pulled under water and vanish from his life.
“If I wasn’t careful I would never be here” he said. A colored person couldn’t enjoy a swim in the river without being worried they were going to be drowned by a person who doesn’t like their appearance. Hangings took place, shootings, and they still happen today. Reo Varnado is a now respected man who has had racism become a piece of his life. But his business is booming and he has become part of equality. He is just human.
Being born a mutt of many ethnicities such as jewish, indian, black irish, and European I haven’t had a racial experience myself. I have family and friends who have had some kind pointed towards them growing up. My cousin Antwain is half black as is one of my friends. I don’t understand why people can just automatically assume they can comment and call a person “negro” or “nigger”. A person is a person no matter was shape, color, or size. Each individual has blood flowing through their veins, a brain beneath their skull and a heart between their ribcage. Our skin is just a color. White, black, brown, yellow, we’re still a person.
A few years back I was watching The Outsiders, a movie based off the book written by SE Hinton, with my class. The movie is based on two social classes fighting because they look and act differently. The Greasers were against the Socs as the Socs were against The Greasers. The Socs are the rich pretty-boys who wore high water jeans and sweaters and The Greasers are the hoodlums with slicked back hair. As the movie went by you can see that they aren’t very different. 3 lives were lost because there was no getting along with the opposite clique. But near the end they all end up being regular people who wish to succeed in life and be happy.
I understand there are many different forms of racism such as religion, size, color, sexual orientation and education level. Racial differences are not something we should base life on. A my age I haven’t experienced much, but in a way it great that I haven’t.
by the way we had to write a narrative paper on our experiences with racism. if i need to change anything please let me know. thank you in advance! i appreciate the help. 🙂

I have a huge problem I really need some advice adults only?

Hello, my husband and I have our own business. (landscape architecture) based out of our home. We have a huge house no kids yet because we plan on having that when I graduate from the ultrasound program next year. I will be an ultrasound tech. Anyways, due to the economy going down and things we are barely making ends meat. We purchased this house to have a family in a year and a half. Well, our business isn’t doing so well anymore and my husband said that because I am a magazine model as well he feels that I should be an adult star like a topless high paid dancer traveling from strip club to strip club on the weekends. So I was hesitant about it and since i am in ultrasound school this would help us keep our home. Our home is 3000 a month andi can make that in 2 weeks as an adult star feature entertainer. They want to hire me at 150 an hour for 3 hours a night and i will get a check at the end of the weekend. I felt uncomfortable with this kind of was thinking yes I can do this then I felt like I didnt want to because I tired it before and my husband said he didnt like it but now he is telling me i really need to do this so we can keep our house. I told him we can move out and sell our house and rent a house and i won’t have to do it and we can get caught up with the irs which we still owe 70 grand for not paying them. If we stay in this house then I will have to strip for the clubs on weekends paid hourly cause i am a magazine model but i still wont’ be able to pay the irs back only the bills if I stay here. If i move out into rental home i can pay back the irs and i wont have to strip at all. but he is mad he wants me to strip he wants to keep the house because he loves it here its our home and he has grown attached to it. What do you think it best he is making me feel like crap for how i feel. I feel that we should sell the house and move into rental and save money get out of debt with the irs and I won’t have to get room mates and strip cause I will be in a rental home or stay in our big house and strip to help with the bills until the economy is doing better and also get room mates. What woud you do what decision would you make

TEENS: Would this story opening make you want to read on? How old would you say I am based on my writing?

Its just the beginning of Chapter One.

ONE: FIRST DAY
“It’s just until we find another placement, honey,” said my mother, turning to face me. “I promise you won’t be here for too long.”

I hoped she was right. The idea of going to a state school for more than a few weeks was terrifying. I was a private school girl, born and bred, with no idea of how to survive in such an institute as this. My hands clutched the seatbelt tightly.

“Mom, please don’t make me do this. Can’t we just get a home tutor like before, please?” I begged.

“No, Brianna. It’s all been sorted out, now. I will find you both a better school as soon as I can, but I’m really very busy right now with the business.”

“I don’t mind, mom,” said my twin brother, Brody. “Brie’s just being silly.”

“Silly?” I exclaimed. He clearly wasn’t aware of the seriousness of our situation. “Silly? Brody, don’t you know what happens to private school kids in state schools?”

“Um, they make friends, have a good time and live happily ever after?” he shrugged.

“No! They get eaten alive!”

Brody laughed. He definitely didn’t know of the realities of American schools. I’d watched every high school movie in preparation for this, and I’d come to the conclusion that we’d either be social outcasts or we’d be savaged by a mutant science teacher.

“Daddy!” I whined. That worked every time.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”

Except for this time.

“But, daddy! I can’t do this. I can’t go to state school. They’ll hate me. The smart kids and the new kids are always the pariahs, and I’m smart and new!”

“Listen, sweetie, you know that I’ve tried. I tried to fund the rebuild of your old school after the arson attack, but the authorities wanted to build a mall in its place. I tried to apply to Walterson, but they only accept applications in the fall. I really did try,” he tried to reason with me.

I groaned. There was absolutely no way I was getting out of going to Caspar Hills High School. If I ever found out who burned down Cloverfield Prep, I would make them pay.

“Now come on, I need you two to hurry. Your mother and I need to pick out the colour scheme for the new restaurant chain.”

I stayed firmly put.

“I’ll buy you that encyclopaedia set thing that you’ve been wanting on my way back,” he said in a singsong voice.

Bribery was something that usually didn’t worked with me, but I knew that the encyclopaedias would make a fantastic addition to my reference library. Plus, I would probably need all the help I could get now I was in this place. I unbuckled by seatbelt, and slowly opened the door. A crowd of people were standing around my father’s black Porsche, staring at it intently.

Someone I recognised pushed their way through the crowd. “Brie?”

My heart leapt as soon as I saw the familiar tousled brown hair. “Jesse!” I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck. I was so pleased that I knew someone in this hell other than Brody. Jesse Daniels was Brody’s best friend who we had known since we were toddlers.

“Hey, Jesse,” Brody called appearing beside me.

“See, it’s not all bad here, darling,” my mother called from the car, “We’ll be back to pick you up at 3, okay? Love you!”

As soon as the car pulled away, the crowd surrounded me, talking at me. I couldn’t make any of it out, but it sure was giving me a headache.

“YO!” Jesse yelled. The crowd went silent. “Give the girl some space.” He pulled Brody and I away from the excited teens.

“Thanks, Jess.” I said, smoothing out my clothes.

“No problem, Brie. But, what are you guys doing here anyway? Community service?”

“Actually, no.” Brody told him, “Didn’t you hear? Cloverfield burned down. Someone torched the place.”

“Seriously? That’s harsh.”

“What’s harsher is that we’ve been sent to this dump” I said, gesturing towards the large stone building. “No offence,” I added as an afterthought.

“None taken.” Jesse grinned. He ran his hands through his hair as he looked around. “It looks like a dump, but it’s really not that bad. I mean, they don’t serve us lunch on silver platters …” he trailed off and smirked.

I gave him a playful shove. “You know they don’t do that at Cloverfield.”

“I know. I think you’ll like it here, Brie. I really do.
They’re excited about the new girl because she’s rich, and the majority of people at their school are poor.
