Time to reflect-Paralegal

So "Paralegals" are more active and more efficient at their work and have to endure a lot of trouble going through the research of the case that the lawyer has to present in. Many people thought like i did that the lawyers did all the work with no help well we were wrong they also go through more school than lawyers do because of the fact. Some people go straight to being a lawyer after they finish school and just forget all about continuing so they can learn more.
In the end I learn that i much rather become a paralegal than a lawyer. I hope any questions my readers had were answers

The Final Reflection On Whether To Accurie A Math Degree

Now that all the research is complete. The essential question was should I go for a math degree. With the research I have done I think it would be wise to pursue a math degree. There were many things I learned from this project. Like the jobs you get get hired for by just completing a math course and getting a degree. Like the accounting firms, banking and real estate firms. Those are good jobs that make lots of money. For the most part a good job is something you strive for after college. So by getting a math degree a good job will be available for you after college, because employers are now in high demand of math degree majors. Then I discovered that you would have to go to school for four-six years just to complete a math degree. But I'm still somewhat confused on what class I have to take. A more detailed search will have to be done. Or just going to college and finding out the hard way. But with watever classes I have to take, I think I'm pretty sure on what I have to accomplish to get a math degree. Like the tenure of time I have to stay to accuire a full math degree. Focus hard and study to stay in the good grade graces of math. Then when I have a full degree I look for a good job, mainly in accounting or banking. But even with all this successful information, there were flaws in my search. Like the classes I need to complete, to complete the requirements to get a math degree. I tried numerous searchs on different sites just to come up short! But I did keep searching, even going to different search sites besides google, like msn and yahoo. But for the most part it was a successful search and I think I for the most part, fully answered my question.

The Benefits Of Having A Math Degree

With having a math degree there are some good benefits, like being mentally smarter and good job opportunities. In addition to just teaching, there are many other jobs to get hired for , because you have a math degree. Such as banking, investment firms, government agencies, accounting firms, real estate firms, egineering firms, etc, just to name a few. There are lots of degrees you can choose from. With any of those degrees that major in math, they can and probably will get you a great job. Which means you don't have to break your neck for a job, because there are lots of employers looking for math majors for their jobs. Your critical thinking skills will get increase gradually as will your problem solving skills. As in you won't be struggling to do problems in your head that involves money. Math will help for getting a job, and just being an all around smarter person.

A reflection on what I've done

As I near the end of this entire research project I'd like to reflect on what I've done and how I feel I did on my finding out the answer to my essential question "What can sports management do for me"?, And will this be a career choice I regret later on in life. Throughout my research I've learned a great deal of information that gave me my answer to my essential question. I've learned that there are a number of different fields that you can go into via sports management for example, becoming a sports agent, In a nutshell they basically represents the athlete as far as money and endorsements go. The only thing that turned me off about that profession was that you basically have that athletes life in your hands and I don't think I could handle that responsibility of knowing I could ruin two lives at once if the wrong moves were made on my part. Then you have the managing of a actual team which is something i could perhaps see myself doing. Managing trades, money, contracts I like that idea. Both of these professions are very competitive but as this industry grows so does the amount of jobs.

Then comes the job of being an Athletic Director. This caught my eye because i know of people in this career and I also have not read anything I didn't like about it or heard anything as well. Like I've said plenty of times, I can see myself really progressing in this line of work, I'll be around sports which is wonderful. The only negitive I see is not making everyone happy as far as getting every sports the supplies they need. They'll have them but they may not as up to date as other sporting activities.

So as i conclude my blogs I think I have successfully found my answer to my question and ready to start my career well after college that is.

As i continued to ride my recent success to new heights i found even more information on my essential question and ways to find it. Like one day I'm watching sports center and a breaking story comes up about a college basketball star named o.j. mayo and how it is allocated that he received over 30 thousand dollars throughout his brief one year career at the university of southern California. The allegations stemmed from guy formally close to o.j. mayo named Louis Johnson how came out with strong evidence about a man named Ronald Guillory how is very close to mayo. Johnson states that he can prove Guillory purchased many things for him and mayo with money provided by the BDA which is which is mayo current agent representation.
bush and that he and his fam mayo was recruited well if you want to use the words recruited because mayo recruited by the Johnson says that the the agency was recruiting mayo for one of there agents to represent him even threw his high school years and the money began even back when he was in high school. I felt this particular story would help me answer my question because of a similar story that the came out about a another f0rmer athlete at the university of southern California named Reggie received many things threw out his three years at the colleges one big item was a house that his family was allowed to live in for free while Reggie bush attended college. Many people think that the university of southern California is also responsible for not keeping a better eye on mayo and even that the coaches may have known what was going on with mayo but i my self feel that red flags should have went up with how he recruited the university by having some of his people call the coaches at the university of southern cal and tell them that he wanted to play ball at there university and the funny thing about this was that the coaches were cool with this because he was such a great talent. Now i will go back to the search method that brung me success when I learned to research my question in quotation marks.

Final blog- Technology: GOOD vs BAD

In my research for my essential question I didn't answer my question because there was not an answer to it, it was more like an opinion. My question was "Is technology good for our society or is it making people inadequate to learn". Through my quest for information i had a lot of unuseful information that through me off a little but i happened to find my way back to a lot of good stuff that really helped me answer my question. One of the blogs that helped me was an article titled "The Presidents Letter" by Dawn Bruner, this article was about some of the technological advances that the economy has implemented to the people in our society.

Dawn Bruner talks about online banking, e-mail, internet and computers in general. She has very inparticular sides of views on all these advances but the main one she talks about is computers. She gives her side of the story and believes that technology has made us lazy but goes on later to say that she would not trade her computer for a typewriter. She made it seem as if she is on both sides of the argument but it showed me that she does believe that technology makes us lazy but it has affected her to because she can't work or organize her blogs without her computer.

The information that I found from Dawn helped me a lot because it was the main article that helped me give my opinion about the situation. So in my opinion I am on both sides of the argument, I believe that technological advances have made us lazy but I also think it has brought us far. If we never expanded our minds to find technology we probably would not electricity to run the computer i am typing on. Or we probably would not have anything we rely on a daily bases like cell phones, and of course computers, and even the clock that gives us the time to change classes in our school.

So in conclusion I Think that technology has helped in many ways and only affected us in motivation a little. Technology has made us advanced and lazy. So in the end i have answered my question and I belong to both sides of the argument.

Conclusing of My Research

There were many vidal thing in my research paper on the apprenticeship in carpentry. I have found out all the facts needed in helping me to achieve my goal as in apprentice. I now no many things that I never would of thought a apprenticeship was. I now no that this is the field I want to do for a career in my life. I no all the things necessary to get into the apprenticeship program. This field is something you want to, In also have to take seriously if you plan on becoming a carpenter in qualifying for the apprenticeship program. Carpentry is something I enjoy in will continue to enjoy as I progress more in my life. In my research I found out many things that i now understand that prepared me to progress more in to this field. I learn that carpentry is a fast growing trade all around the world which will keep growing do to the needs of people because many people buy houses. I also no now that you cant just apply for the apprenticeship program you have to take a standard math test which you have to score 70% for them to even set you up for a interview. I learn that in carpentry you have to be careful in pay attention because you can get hurt badly or even killed do to not taking it seriously. Carpentry is a good career for many people it is the fastest growing industries do to the growth of the populations which allows carpentry to stay in business. I learn many things in my research that i no will help me to have a successful career in this trade in would recommend this field to any one who find a interest in carpentry which i have found. Carpentry is something I truly enjoy in hope to go farther as I complete the apprenticeship program wich is 4 years. I one day hope to run my own carpentry business one day and hirer people that find carpentry as interesting as I haved in take it seriously as will. I have found this Research project very sucessful because it allow me to understand what I want to do for a career in my life.

The Closing Reasearch of My Carpentry Research Paper

So I continue my research which I think I found out enought information on a Apprenticeship but I found out one last thing that gave me a clear view on the Apprenticeship in carpentry. I found out to apply in before you get into the apprenticeship you have to first be a highschool graduate or have your GED in have to be 18 or a high school or be a highschool graduate at 17. I also found out that it is a carpentry math test which is a 2-hr test which you use no calculator but tou get scrap paper. You have to have a passing score of 70%("Carpentry Apprenticeship"). "Patrick LaHaye" a carpenter brought out something important which was that the apprenticeship is a 4 year program no less then 6,240 hour(patrick).

After you take the math test for the apprenticeship in pass with 70% you get setup for a interview. In the interview they let you no if they interested in you in did you qualitify for the apprenticeship program.You got to remember you is competeting for a spot which a certain amount of people get in so even thought you get 70% your goal is to get higger then that 70%. That look for ones that have carpent background so by me going to McKinley they will look at me befor someone that just want to get in the program.

Research concluded...

As I reach my last research blog I ask myself have i successfully done my research, have I made points on what I wanted out of these research blogs, And ultimately, have I found the answer to my original question " What can sports management do for me, and is this what I want?". I feel that I have in fact answered those questions and done my research carefully. I recently found out that in the field of Sports Management, you will most likely live a rigorous and fast paced career. on (http://careers.state university.com) it stated that "The work entails attending sports events at night and on weekends, although for a sports fan that aspect of the job may be a tremendous perk, it requires extensive travel...and working long hours". I personally would not want to be away from my family and friends constantly but if that was my career I think I'd just have to adjust.

Also i recently learned that in the field of Sports Management as well as marketing professionals " as a rule are college educated" usually the required four years. (Http:// careers.state university.com). To get ahead most college students should start as interns in teams offices and or athletic departments. At Daemen College i know that past college students that majored in Sports management have worked with the Buffalo Sabers and the Buffalo Bisons as well as some other sports teams. Also Athletic directors can come from Sports management. This is a well paying job. At (http://swz.salary.com) I Also found out that the median expected pay for a typical Athletics Director at higher education in the U.S is $96,105 and for a mens Athletic Director at higher education can make a median salary of $82,413.

Point blank period to survive in this field or to strive you must keep that love of the sport your in, alive and well, because like everyone says you will be miserable working a job you do not enjoy. I want this career to be just as enjoyable as if i were on the court playing Basketball. "Many Sports management Professionals are former athletes themselves and come to Sports Management via Business Management" (Http://career.StateUniversity.com). I can really see myself succeeding in this line of work

Paralegal-Finalization-Body 4

Paralegals have to endure a lot of work while the actual "Lawyer" does not have to deal with the heavy research and book work they only have t appear in court, meet the defendant or plaintiff.
Doing this research actually has helped me on my way to becoming a lawyer because like a paralegal i to had to research the subject, reword the way it was put and finalize the project.
So after about 3 years as a paralegal and studying under the mind of a good lawyer, and you absorb his or her teachings you will feel the experience flowing through your body. They you may want to attend law school or re attend (if had been to law school previously). To get a certified law degree and work on your career as a lawyer.

Coming to a conclusion (Sports Management)

So I sit in my room beginning to think of a ways that i've come closer in finding my answer to my question "What can sports management do for me". I'm beginning to think that i've found my answer. I won't get into what i believe that answer is but i'm sure i know. I've done a little more research on the web and came across (Quintcareers.com). it told me that " It provides consulting, placement, and traning services to more than 300 profesional sports teams and intercolligiate athletic departments and provide carrer tips and placement for job seekers interested in a career working with sports firms. No cost to job seakers".

I personally see this as a great way to find even more information for my topic. Buf as of now i feel that its not a question of will i find more information but will it fit my personality. Will it be the right fit for me, just more personal questions present themselves now to me. I feel that i'm in the right direction in finding those answers.

Paralegal-A mistake In My Research-Body 3

Due to a recent find in my search i may have posted in my first blog that you need 3 years of regular college and 4 years of law school. Well it turns out that tha infomation was in fact incorrect it turns out that.
There is no specific educational requirement in most U.S. states for legal assistants or paralegals. Some paralegals have only on-the-job experience, while some paralegals have completed a 2 year course or bachelor's dergree in paralegal studies. Others have completed a bachelor's or even a master's dergree in another field, and quite a few of these people have also completed a regular or post-baccalaureate paralegal certificate. Many paralegals have completed all of their training before entering the profession, while others have completed their education while working their way up from the mailroom in a law firm. Many paralegals take Continuing Legal Education credits to fulfill the requirements of their firm, state, or association.

Math Degree The Requirements, The Jobs

I would want a math degree for so many different reasons. The feel of accomplishment, graduation, among others. But the main reason I think people strive for a degree is job openings. But there are requirements to apply for these jobs. Like for being a math instructor. You would need a math degree and fifteen hours of higher level math courses. But not only do you need math but also be a good citizen too. With no history of drug alchol or child abuse. As stated on job search engine for a math instructor. To be be a full math teacher evenrequires more. For schooling, you would have to go for three to ten years. On average completing our degree in four in a half years. Making sure you get your undergraduate degree from accredited college courses. Also completing a graduate degree from graduate school. On the sitemath forum. Even so with math there are other demands. Like math deals with computers and a high understanding of science. But also in the new fields of math statistical and mathematical analisis is required of you. In canterbury university.

As my research continued I came across a couple different people that had interesting information on my subject but one person that really stood out was a women named Dawn Bruner. She published an article called the Presidents Letter- Technology: Good vs Bad, this article talked about some of the technology advancements that have occurred over the past ten years and how they affected the society. She talks about online banking and how its more efficient for the bankers and they can tell if a check bounces sooner and deposits checks faster, the bad thing is that people wit online accounts have a higher risk for fraud and identity theft(Bruner). As Dawn goes on about How Internet affects us and even e-mail but what really helped me is how she explained that she wouldn't trade a computer for a typewriter(Bruner). So in this article Dawn explains her love for technology and she would not trade it for anything.
