Is it possible to obtain an architecture/apprentice job without a degree?

We Answered:

It is an option in California, Arizona and maybe Wisconsin. You will need to have 8 years of work experience under a licensed architect. I know of several people who is doing very well in the profession who never had an architectural degree.

Is it common to obtain an Associates degree in one thing and a Bachelor's degree in something else?

We Answered:

If you plan on going to a 4 year school when you earn your associates the degree you get is well.....a degree that is designed to transfer to a four year school and really isn't all that specialized. usually its just called a associate of Liberal Arts. And when you finish, you will have completed all your (hopefully) general education requirements for your 4 year degree so all you will be taking at the 4 year school is what you need for your Business Admin degree.

When you get a transfer degree (usually an AS), you really don't take any classes in anything except your gen ed requirements. You know, the Freshman Comp 1 and 2 classes, your History, Government, Speech, College Algebra, Science classes and all the classes you'll need to be a more "well rounded and educated person". You don't take many, if any, classes related to your major. That is what the 4 year school is for.

Don't get confused and end up doing one of those AAS degrees at a community college. They may appear more appealing because you'll take less non major classes and more classes related to your interests but what most kids don't realize is an AAS degree is designed to put you right into the workforce, not right into a university so most of those classes won't transfer and you could end up spending 6 years to get a 4 year degree.

How difficult is it to obtain a degree in Chemical Engineering?

We Answered:

It's possible. Engineering programs differ substantially based on what school you actually go to. I'm not done yet, but so far, it's pretty difficult, but also really interesting. People around campus have told me Chem-E is one of the hardest majors at this school, and so far it's not that bad, However, I also like thermo. and fluids problems, which are what a lot of people hate. You'll probably be in for at least a bit of a challenge though.

What types of jobs can a person with a paralegal degree obtain?

We Answered:

First of all I am a current paralegal in Texas. Please ignore Mailaccount63. This person uses Yahoo as their personal rant forum for the legal profession.

With that said, you will have limited options with a paralegal degree. The degree is highly specific and tailored to the needs of a law office. The only other "option" I could see is becoming a legal secretary. If you are wanting options, seek a different degree. Paralegal degrees are not mandatory for becoming a paralegal. It just demonstrates that you took specialized classes that normal degrees don't offer. I know many paralegals that get general studies degrees and then go on to get more specialized bachelor's degrees.

Carlos Said:

Are home schooling courses to obtain a degree or skills worth it?

We Answered:

Most simply... a degree is a degree.

If you get one of these degrees for say paralegal, and you apply for paralegal job... you're "qualified".

However, there is a perception (whether real or not) that "home school", "online", etc degrees are not "worth" as much as typical/normal degrees. In other words... if you applied for a job and 1 other person applied for a job... but you were "home schooled" and the other had their degree from a formal institution (and the employer knew all this), the employer would be more likely to favor the other person in regards to education.

So all in all, if you CAN do a formal institution, do it. But if home school/etc is your only option, then do that. Either way you will be educated and able to pursue jobs. So overall, is such a degree worth it? I'd say yes, if that degree/certificate gets you where you want to be. Just be sure that if you do, do one of these, that you pick a legitimate/reputable school.
