Any communication studies graduates in here? Can you tell me what jobs were you able to get after graduating and if you think the major was a good idea or that you did something different? Thanks!
So my son is a pretty good student has a 4.47 GPA 32 ACT and top 10 in his class. He applied to LSU and decided it wasn’t for him and picked Louisiana Tech instead because they were gonna give him more money for school I think LSU was going to give $3000 a year and Louisiana tech was offering 6500 a year.
He’s already told the previous admissions emails and phone calls that he wasn’t interested and yet they keep calling. I was wondering if anyone has had any success with getting their merit increased especially when it seems like they really want him to go to their school.
My son is 18 and a freshman in college. He gets some extra money to help pay for school and we give him an allowance of about $100 a week until the beginning of this last semester. He spends money like you wouldn’t believe. He eats out nearly almost every day and doesn’t use his meal swipes at the dining hall. The extra $500 he had on his meal card, that was gone in a month eating at campus restaurants. If he’s not eating out, he’ll go and buy comics, figurines, collectibles. There was $4K in his savings to pay for school and he spent it all. Nothing is left. Right now he has $4 to his name. I had his scholarship money changed to go to our bank account and we stuck it into an HYSA for him.
Next year he has to get an apartment and we’ve been telling him that he can’t keep spending money like this. I don’t know if it’s a mental health issue and coping or what. Looking for advice at this point because right now the only thing we’ve been doing is to give him his allowance to put gas in his car and that’s about it. And force him to go to the dining hall and use his meal swipes instead of eating out.
Every day I see a post about someone letting internet strangers know they make $180K plus thanks to their full time job and VA disability. Like who fucking cares, but everyone’s reply is the same. “That’s messed up, broken system, how can you work disabled.”
I know what the VA disability system is for, but your average American, no clue. Enough people complain and then someone has the wild idea to reduce benefits based on your income. Just be quiet for fucks sake.
I’m doing the Fargo half marathon next month and according to the course site, the course limit is 4 hours. For context I’m obese and have a lot of medical issues, but I’ve been training for this half marathon and feel pretty good. However, my time right now after running a 10K would give me a pace that is right near the cut off. If I end up going over the course time, will I be kicked off the course? Thanks.
The $77 was my copay. For clarity, I am in the US.
