THE 10 MOST WORTHLESS MAJORS

May 2nd, 2012 . kro
  1. Fine arts (12.6% unemployment among recent grads; recent grads earn an average $30,000)
  2. Drama and theater arts (7.8%, $26,000)
  3. Film, video, and photographic arts (12.9%, $30,000)
  4. Commercial art, graphic design (11.8%, $32,000)
  5. Architecture (13.9%, $36,000)
  6. Philosophy, religious studies (10.8%, $30,000)
  7. English literature and language (9.2%, $32,000)
  8. Journalism (7.7%, $32,000)
  9. Anthropology, archeology (10.5%, $28,000)
  10. Hospitality management (9.1%, $32,000)

My advice, volunteer/volunteer/volunteer..no matter what direction you take you have to connect and network to get a job.

Through volunteering, you will not only network, but gain experience and have a hands on opportunity to either confirm you want to continue to work in that field or, go a different direction.

You may be choosing a major based on your true passion, find out the many different directions your degree/diploma can take..this will expand your job options and choice of volunteering.

If you truly want your major to be something that doesn’t offer a promising career, prepare to be versatile so you can live your passion and still make $$$.

What I have learned (because I am passionate about so many things…being an athlete, writing books, movie scripts, and poetry, as well as public speaking and anything to do with kids)  that some things are meant to be hobbies until you can get paid enough to make them your career ..find a job you enjoy to handle your financial needs and dedicate your spare time to your hobby, eventually with hard work, your passion can become your purse!!! Good Luck!!

WEIRD THINGS MAKING YOU FAT

April 24th, 2012 . kro
YOUR HANDBAG: After noticing some of his patients carry more fat on one side of their body, cosmetic doctor Michael Prager realized that it was often the side on which the patients held their oversized handbags.
FAKE TAN: .. chemicals known as phthalates in self-tanning lotions make us more prone to weight gain and twice as likely to develop diabetes.
MULTI-TASKING: ..serially switching tasks exhausts the part of our brain that regulates self-control.
LEGGINGS: ..too-tight leggings can cause your muscles to become lazy, which results in a flabby stomach, bottom and legs….they do the job the muscles are supposed to do. As a result, the muscles are allowed to relax and switch off. So when we reveal our bodies for the first time as summer approaches, they are not as svelte or firm as they otherwise would be.’
HIGH HEELS: Personal trainer Dax Moy,  ’Wearing very high heels causes the forward tilting of the pelvis, which allows the abdominal contents to spill forward, producing a pot belly which many women have wrongly come to think of as a fat stomach.

WARNING SIGNS YOU’RE A RUDE DATE

April 23rd, 2012 . kro

1. You arrive late for a date or change plans last minute as a habit

2. You stare at attractive people who pass by or allow distractions of cell phones, text messages, silent vibes to interrupt your dating conversation

3. You exaggerate your accomplishments and dating goals in hopes of getting laid — instead of being honest about your life resume’ or your desire for a casual fling, so that your date can decide if your life experiences and dating goals are a good match.

4. You bog down the mood with heavy, negative stories from your past -- instead of starting fresh and creating exciting new stories on your own and with a new love match.

5. You pressure a commitment quickly or invite a date to an event two months later — instead of allowing time to get to know each other and discovering if you can create a solid dating relationship based on shared values, chemistry and complementary interests.

6. You use electronic communication to confirm dates or to keep track of your date’s online dating activities — instead of making a human connection your priority and dealing with dating issues face-to-face.

7. You control conversations with a monologue about yourself — instead of finding common ground, asking about your date, and becoming an active listener as an act of love.

8. You pass judgment, put down your date’s dreams or suggest that your date change to fit your ideal — instead of accepting your date, quirks and all, as you determine if you are a compatible love match.

9. You criticize your date’s family or physical flaws that can’t be changed — instead of commenting on their strengths, special qualities and bringing out the best in each other.

10. You talk about how busy you are with work and family obligations – instead of making room in your life for love and making a new priority of your loving relationship — assuming you’d like a loving relationship to last.
