What is the career path to becoming a physician's assistant (PA)? I was just wondering if someone could outline for me the educational requirements necessary before a person can become a licensed PA. Also, for you PA's out there, how satisfied are you with your job? Also, does one have to go to med school or are can you get such a degree from a normal university? I always appreciate useful links. Thanks
Ineligible for unemployment but they still sent me a card? Hi I applied for unemployment (in PA) , they sent me a letter a few weeks later saying i was ineligible for unemployment. But in the same letter they also sent me a card with my name on it saying I needed to activate it & my benefits would be on the card. A few days later they also said I needed to sign up for The PA Career Links in order to receive my benefits. I signed up for the career links. I dont know if i should activate the card just because they said I was ineligible? I just dont know understand why they would send me the card then? anyone experienced something like this before? thank you!

Having trouble finding a job in Philadelphia, PA? I graduated in 2003 with a BA degree in Labor Industrial Relations and over the past couple of months I've been having a difficult time finding a job.

Need Advice for opening Party Business? would love to have my own small dress up rental business for children to experience an extra special birthday. I imagine I would target more girls then boys with this idea but will also include boys items. What I would like to do is have the business from my home as in I would store the costumes, accessories and party supplies in my extra room. Then when people would like to rent a package I would either have them pick it up at my home or deliver it to them. For an extra fee I would deliver everything set it up and then after the party take everything down and back home. In this package I would include -Costumes (In the theme they choose) -Accessories (Feather Boas, Fairy Wings, Necklaces, Crowns...) -Invitations (Optional add on) -Games to Play -Craft Activity -Party Guide -Favors (Optional add on) -Table Wear (Tea Cups or Paper Goods, Table Cloth, Napkins....) -Decorations This would be a complete package but I would also set up individual packages if they only choose to have the costumes and tea cups for example. So the parents would be the ones to host this party but it would be easy as I would include lots to do and a guide. So this is my idea and I would love to start it out with just a few themes. But there are a few things I am still not sure about. I live in a small town in PA the population is 5,960 I would be willing to travel to houses out of my town but I would love to get business locally. I plan on moving down the road but this is where I will be living for several years. In this area there are no party things to do the only thing we have is a bowling alley. We do have a community center and places to hold parties at if parents didn't want to have the party in their home. I also don't plan to get rich off of this business either just want to do it part time and make some money doing something I love! I also know that I would need to get a business license but what else would I need to rent out these packages? I don't really know the nuts and bolts of what to do or how to find out more information about this. I am also going to be attending Penn State in Fall to get my education for a real career so not sure if I will be able to open my business until after I graduate which will be two years after this fall. But if I some how was able to open up while attending school the extra money would help out. Here is a link to basically exactly what I want to do only in a smaller scale http://www.simplypretend.com/

What is wrong with me, and would I be better off dead? I'm a 20 year old female living in L.A. I have had dreams of working in the film industry since I was a little girl (not acting, writing and directing more so). I am very creative, but I don't think I have what it takes to create, if that makes sense. I tend to get lost in a daydream and am perceived by many as spacey, anti social or depressed. I don't go out much, and when I do I always make a fool of myself, and am usually not invited back. I will be honest, when I go out clubbing for instance, I get very anxious and nervous. I feel threatened and everyone and every little thing looks very surreal. If anyone tries to talk to me I either sketch out and make up some b.s. excuse and hide, or I end up offending them by sticking my foot in my mouth or just acting plain weird. I know I'm probably not describing this well, but I just wish I could figure out what's wrong with me or at least know someone else feels the same as me. I love film and I have thousands of plots, ideas, characters, dialog running circles around in my head screaming to get out. But when I try and make something of them, I'm stuck, or I may get as far as outlining the plot but then something stops me from writing the full script. I fall in love with an idea, it plays out so well in my head and I feel it, then I lose momentum and look back at it with disgust. I think "It's not worth it, the concept is unrealistic" etc., and am back to square one. On top of all that, I realize Hollywood will most likely not buy my ideas, I would have to go it myself, meaning I need money, which I don't have AT ALL........ Bottom line: I have wanted this my whole life, but am not sure if I am a fit for Hollywood. I can't imagine myself doing anything else, but what have I been doing this whole time, really? I realize this industry is dog eat dog, and when it comes down to it it's not really about art, it's about money. I myself could care less about money, but making a movie takes money. My biggest worry right now is what am I going to do to support myself in the future? Even if I spent all my time and resources making little indie movies that could very well go nowhere, I will get to a point where I have surpassed the cut off age (they say if you haven't made it by 30 in the industry you're fucked, and that's true). I basically have 10 years to make it, and the days are evaporating into the next month, into the next year, and it's scares me shitless. On top of everything I don't have a car. I don't even have a license (don't ask). I can't even get a pa job over that. I'm jobless, in debt (I attempted film school, I was stupid enough to fall for that before dropping out 3 months in). I am running out of hope and am wondering what I my alternatives are. Should I just forget about film making altogether and settle for another career? The only thing I have a slight interest in is psychology, but it links back to character building (stupid, I know). I feel like I should either totally give up and fully focus on a steady career, or I guess struggle in the industry for the next 10 years, fail and then commit suicide (or hell, just kill myself now). Please, be as honest as you need to be. I need a reality check.
~~Need help looking for Equistian Colleges!!~~? So, i'm a 17 year old girl, and i'm finally a senior. I own a horse and know tons of horse people. Horses are my life, and i really want a career where i get to work with them. I've been looking into equine massage therapy, but realized it would not be enough to support me. The problem is, i don't know what the best career would be. Vet? Dentist? Therapist? Trainer? I really could use the help. I live in Allegheny County in PA, so there is a decent amount of horses around. Please help me, leave links below of some colleges, too. I'm really having trouble finding equistrian colleges. Thank you.

Is there really a scientific consensus on AGW, or is "scientific consensus" just an attention-getter? Maybe the 'consensus' is just within the group of scientists who support the idea. Here's a link showing many scientists who disagree with the entire notion of agw. Below are a few examples. What do you think of their opinions? http://ilovecarbondioxide.com/2009/01/hundreds-of-scientists-publicly.html "Warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist “Anyone who claims that the debate is over and the conclusions are firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous issues of our time.” - Solar physicist Dr. Pal Brekke, senior advisor to the Norwegian Space Centre in Oslo. Brekke has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles on the sun and solar interaction with the Earth. "Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined." -- Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh, Pa. “Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly. The main basis of the claim that man’s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.” “Earth has cooled since 1998 in defiance of the predictions by the UN-IPCC….The global temperature for 2007 was the coldest in a decade and the coldest of the millennium…which is why ‘global warming’ is now called ‘climate change.’” - Climatologist Dr. Richard Keen of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado Dana, the names on this list are all scientists.

Did I sleep through the bit where wearing trainers warped from fashion faux pas to a dismissible offence? ? On looking through my recent answers @ one on the teacher sacked for wearing trainers (What are your views on the teacher sacked for wearing trainers to work) I see a comment that it occurred after he questioned management which may explain the behind scenes rationale (though no doubt there were other issues we will never know about). What surprised me though was the idea that some answers totally supported the dismissal on grounds of "discipline in society/ flouting rules/ dressing down" and even had thumbsups!! Are we sooo far up our behinds in image-consciousness that a P.E. teacher (for God's sake) cannot wear apparently-no-longer-fashionable footwear to work without some in this society condoning the end of a career spanning 30 years? That takes priority over instilling a sense of enthusiasm? Over inspiration to achieve/succeed? Over 30 years of experience and knowledge? I don't know the teacher or the story (no link) and presume many answering don't either but it appears image superseded ability at least to answerers which betrays a rather pathetic broader trend. Steph j - did you sleep through English Language?
