Beginning in January of their child’s senior year in high
school and into spring, parents of college bound high school seniors embark on
a fateful journey. These travelers are
afflicted by a sense of urgency, sweaty palms, incessant reviewing of financial
statements, and a never ending state of confusion. If you listen closely, you can
hear them muttering things like, “You’ve got to be kidding,” “How in the world
do they expect me to do this,” or, most commonly, a steady...
The popularity of attending
an Academy of Golf rather than a traditional four year
college is increasing every year as these specialized schools become leaders in
value-priced education. The costs of
attending college have sky-rocketed in the past five to ten years, putting the
price of a bachelor’s degree out of reach for many. Other students can afford an education, but
not at the school of their choice, and they may have to compromise on what
their education will...
Academy of golf seems like a
straight-forward term that should mean any school that focuses on teaching the
game of golf. But it’s important to
understand that if you’re looking for a particular type of golf education, you
need to thoroughly examine what any golf academy is actually teaching. There are some schools that
are entirely focused on improving the individual player’s game, while other versions
of an academy of golf are the equivalent of a college campus,...
"I tell every parent that I meet with that the way I see education, it's a three-legged stool: the school is one leg, you're the other and the child is the other," says Fernando Goulart, executive director of Atlantis Charter School in Falls River, Massachusetts. He's held that position for nine years now, and coupled with 20 as a teacher and counselor, he's learned that "if any of us fails to meet our responsibilities, you cannot expect a child to do well, at least not as well...
The health
care industry is one of the fastest growing in America and the first world. It’s not very hard to see why. In affluent countries, everyone expects top
rate medical care throughout their lives, and this is simply not easy or cheap to
provide. Older people tend to require
more health care. Training for health
care positions is rigorous, lengthy, and difficult. It’s important that all health professionals
are competent and well trained,...
There never seems to be enough time these days to take care of all your
responsibilities, from work to family to your home to just tending to yourself,
let alone think about going back to school.
Yet an advanced degree can make a huge difference not only in the jobs
you are qualified to do but also the overall quality of your life. More credentials translate to a higher
salary, yet how can you possibly make going back to school fit into your
already busy life? An...
The doctor
of audiology program is required in most U.S. states to become licensed as a
practicing audiologist. Audiology is the
medical field that deals with hearing and the ear. The ear
is one of the human body’s complex and sensitive systems. Since most of the aural system (the entire
system used to detect sounds) is internal, it is often overlooked or
underappreciated. The aural system
contains the three smallest bones in the human body, the hammer, anvil,...

Golf schools provide many
avid players with the tools they need to turn their love of the game into a
lifetime of career options.
Most of us have had the
fantasy of becoming a professional at some sport – a baseball player, golfer or
football star. The problem with going
pro in most sports is that your career has a short shelf life. After 10 years or less as a pro football or
baseball star, you usually have to retire.
Golf, however, is a game that can be...
