School is Business

            How do they do it?  Have you ever wondered how college students get by?  Think about it.  Students have to spend thousands of dollars to pay tuition, thousands for their housing, thousands for food and gas, thousands for books, and that’s not even mentioning their personal needs and wants.  For someone who doesn’t have a college degree and can only get some part time job at a local grocery store, paying all of that is very tedious.  Furthermore, some of them have a wife or children that they have to take care of. 

            There are very few scholarships available, and thousands of students trying to get each one.  It’s even more difficult once someone gets married to find funding for school.  Once someone gets married, the results seem opposite of what should happen.  They are in a position to need more money and assistance than ever, and that’s when their parents say, “Well, you’re on your own now!”  I think that there should be specific scholarships for newlyweds and people in school who just brought into life a new child.  Those are usually the hardest times in life financially and the times when a person sometimes doesn’t know how or what to do to get by.  It just seems like that’s when anyone willing to help would make the biggest difference in someone’s life.

Presenting Yourself with a Blog

Blogs are very useful tools in a person’s professional career.  They can be a place for someone to express their feelings on a procedure or a product, or they can be used to present someone’s ideas for others to think about.  If they are done correctly, they can be used to present an individual professionally. 

In an interview situation, blogs can be used to show an employer writing, analyzing, or problem solving skills that one has used in the past.  In this way, an applicant can show the employer real examples of when they have done these things, rather than just making up stories and inventing situations to impress the employer.  When the employer is presented with a blog, they can see that the person’s experiences were real, and that they went about them in a professional way.
