  1. I don't know what the US requirements are for Pharmacist, but in Canada it's a graduate degree which means you need to get another degree first. You might want to check into that to make the right selection. In Canada it doesn't matter what the degree is, it could be accounting for all they care but you need that first degree to get in pharmacy school and usually you need to write an aptitude test. Obviously a science degree would prepare you better for that. If you aren't sure about what to do, why don't you take a few classes in order to prepare? For example an accounting class. Anyways you are often on PSN when I am. You could send a party invite and I'll respond if I can. It's probably easier to chat, unless you want others to see the response and then add their opinion. Unfortunately I am well equipped to discuss US degrees specifically. However everyone in the family has a professional degree and a number of kids who are in University studying a lot of these programs. It's up to you.
  2. All true except for the brains part. I know Dave is kidding but being an architect is actually quite demanding. I think you can see a trend however with picking something you love. I said like because I find it hard to "love" a job. I like my work but I wouldn't say I love it. Also you should think as a degree as something to use initially to open doors. The more you get along in life the less the specific degree matters. People will still ask for a degree in a lot of cases but there might be a lot of flexibility with what that degree is. For example my wife has degree's in Microbiology, medicine, interior design and architecture. She started her career designing maternity wards in Canadian hospitals. Her parents wanted her to be a doctor, she didn't and she still made it work. We was specifically picked for the job because she was female and had a medical background. She went back to school to become an architect. She was working as a researcher at the sick kids hospital in Toronto before going back to school. She's now a program manager for the city of Ottawa. You need a degree for the position, but it can be engineering, architecture, communicates or business admin (probably some others as well). She happens to love that job. My point, the degrees she has have nothing to do with what she is doing specifically but without the degrees she would not qualify for the job What I've told my kids is pick something you like and you happen to be good at. Seems like math is your thing, that's a start. Engineer and Achitecture are pretty scientific. In architecture you have a fair amount of mechanical engineering and structures to study. Also because you are female, your teachers might have been bias against you in science. I see it often. The stereo type is that girls aren't good at math and science (which is bullshit) but teachers fail horribly and teaching females (even when they are females themselves). I think big data, actuary science and accounting would be worth a look. My son is doing commerce and has the opportunity to get accounting with a few extra credits. He's extremely strong in math but doesn't like science. My niece is doing actuary science. She tutors university math and is outstanding at math. She happens to like her program. Something else you might want to look at is programs the offer a co-op option. I'm not sure how big that is in the US. But co-op allows a student to go to school and work a number of workterms as part of their programs. It's like being an intern every 4 months once you start. It allows you to make money (because you are paid for the work terms) it also allows you to go to a pretty diverse employer base to see if you would like to do certain things.
  3. Hi Sam, Well firstly I have an electrical engineering degree and I think that can be a great degree. However that field is pretty much male dominated. There's probably 3 women out of every engineer as far as I know in that field. If you like coding computer engineering might be worth a look. Also design FGPAs or ASICs is something that requires coding skills (VHDL or verilog) and that's what I've been doing for the last 15 years. I now run my own company and I am able to work from home. The better job markets for those skill are Boston and San Jose. Female engineers tend to like Biomedical engineering. It's a wide field. It's everything from artificial limbs, diagnostics equipment, artificial organs, artificial membranes. That field seems to have about 50% women in the customer base I have. There are a lot of hospital and government opportunities for the field. Big in WI, Chigago and government towns. Another field is biochemistry or biotechnology. It's similar to Biomedical eng but it's usually a science degree rather than engineer. So it's heavier on the sciences and lighter on the math. My daughter plans to study that next year. It's another science field that is open to women. Lots of lab, research and drug related opps. My wife has 3 degrees in architecture. Lots of women study in that field. The money tends to go to the people who are good designers. The people who do the technical work not so much. The registration process is a pain in the ass (to get your license to practice). You have to write 15 exams and be above the bell curve. You can start your own practice however (like Engineers) and be your own boss. All of those jobs should pay over $100K once you get a fair amount of experience. I think starting salaries for engineers are around 50-60K in good job market these days I don't know how you study to be a doctor in the US but in Canada you need to get a bachelors degree first and go to grad school to be a doctor. Any one of the above professions would do Architecture is also grad studies. So you would need to get another degree first (in Canada anyways). So if you are serious about a doctor. Biochem or biotech is a good way to do it. Because you get a degree and you are employable. You can then study in grad school after. In order to make money in Psychology you need a PhD (everywhere I know of anyways). So you have to be in for the long run It's a big choice but those are all excellent opportunities. The best way to be successful at it is to pick something you like. But that's pretty darn difficult at your age because you don't really know what that is. Anyways good luck with you choices. We can talk off line if you would like. I can't really advise you about studies in the US. But I can perhaps with career path since 100% of my customer base is in the USA and my wife and I spend a shit load of time getting those different degrees. Pat
  4. How was it? I loved the first season. It was fantastic. Then it went down hill for me
  5. I can't get any of it because my level is too low. I'm stuck with friggin green gear everywhere (which happens to be more powerful then everything else I have). By the time I catch up it will be the next expansion
  6. Yep. That's the one
  7. I guess you should by know unless you don't pay attention to the news at all. It's been all over the news around here
  8. Definitively rusty. I can't remember half the stuff (switching to heavy weapons for example ) I go my level 29 warlock going, I'll probably use the consumable to upgrade my level 2 titan to something more usable Then I need to understand how all the rest of the stuff works. I haven't done any of the TTK stuff. Still doing darkness below (I think) To me there seems to be a lot of "glitches" going into the game if you were playing since the DLCs. Nothing earth shattering but not seamless either
  9. It took all day to download for me. Don't know why, my internet is pretty darn fast and my other computers were working fine. Haven't even got to try it yet
  10. Well I got it this morning. It needs a 17 GB update so it might be a while before I get to play the dam thing Hope to see you guys on
  11. Hi, What do you need help with? I'm not the most serious player here. But I'm level 30 and played some. There a a few guys who do play alot. Tommy and Mike are probably the experts on this site
  12. The part I don't quite understand is that if the person is dead there is something wrong with that body anyways. If it can be repaired why wouldn't they save the person who owns the body? Unless it's a head injury of course. Also given how fucked up that guy is, I really don't think it's a vanity thing and or your sarcasm being particularly funny
  13. So did they name that place like that just to punk people ?
  14. Well since politics and religion are out we could talk about sex. However given how many of us are old and married with kids, there really wouldn't be much to talk about
  15. My 2 cents worth here is that when you offer a government service to people, you do not get to pick and chose who you offer it to when those people are legally entitle to it. That's her job. Just like she would not get to refuse a marriage license to people having a different religion to her own or any other personal "morality" judgment.
  16. Hi, Here's my caveat, Everything that I will be mentioning involves the Canadian Heath care system so I can't say with 100% confidence that any of this would be the same for you. I've had PT a number of times for different injuries. They include back, neck, wrist and ankle. I did PT because my Physician prescribed it. PT is not covered in Canada by the health care system but most employee insurance program cover it. Our running rate is about $60 for 1/2 an hour per injury spot. $80 for more than 1 Injury spot I found that PT is much like a Chiro. They most likely will use electrical current on the muscles to loosen things up, then massage you and then give you a number of exercises to do at home to get better. You'll probably feel fantastic after your sessions but it's almost like a crack or heroin addiction because after you stop you probably will be in pain again. Then need to go to PT to feel better. The positive aspect is getting the exercises that help with the problem area. And getting a number of them, then do those on your own. You should be able to get that done in about 3 sessions. My 19 year old son, my 53 year old wife and my 17 year old daughter all did PT for injuries as well and pretty had the same results. All injuries have been sports related also. One thing that did work marvelously for me and my wife however is Laser Therapy Here is a link http://www.canadianchiropractor.ca/techniques/laser-therapy-a-guide-for-chiropractors-1001 It is usually done my Chiropractors around here. They claim they make is that it actually repairs the cells and tissue. I've had it on my neck and wrist. My wife has had it on her back. I haven't had pain or problems in those areas for 2 years since I did the treatment. The doctors wanted to surgically repair my wrist after seeing the MRIs but Lasers able to fix the damaged tendons and give me mobility back. I can even do weight and Karate again. The cost is about the same as PT, I needed about 10 treatments, which was covered by my private insurance. All you need to do is lie there and the machine does the rest It might be worth looking at. I had nothing vested in that type of treatment. All I can tell you is that it worked for 2 50 year olds and apparently the methods are used by pro athletes for recovery.
  17. Might want to look at the samsung tab4 in that range. It's an Android base tablet and I got one for free when I signed up for a business bank account It's really not great as far as tablets go, but I think it's in your price range. I can do everything I need but I find it rather slow compared to our iPAD As far as what you should look for, at her age I would think something that has a lot of storage for the apps she wants and a good touch screen I don't think the screen resolution, speed, camera quality is quite as important I would recommend an iPAD mini personally but that's probably going to run you around $300 Pat
  18. The more I see the more concern I get. I'm going to wait after release for this one Also with DICE's execution issues I'm glad they are doing a beta but still a bit reluctant
  19. Uhm, How does that work for parties and friends?
  20. 3 days 21 hours total
  21. I might get it and get back into Destiny
  22. Wonder how he expected to evade the police after filming himself doing it and posting about on the web?
  23. "So I'm going to kill her and him because she made racist comments and then kill myself." Obviously the guy wasn't all there. It's another tragedy where a nut job is able to get his hand on a gun and do some damage for dumb ass reasons
  24. I still run 7 on most of my PCs. My daughter installed 10 on her laptop and says she likes it. I'm not sure if all "older" programs are compatible with it but its worth a try if you don't have to pay for it. I believe there is a revert back option with the upgrade
  25. That's what I had original suspected. I think you had driver or software conflicts in there somewhere. Actually we know you do because of that rapr_ep64 issue. Re-installing everything get rid of shit that didn't get uninstalled or over written when you put something new on. Also since you have a pirated windows version you do not get automatic updates which some of those drivers might be depending on when they are updated. Keep testing you hardware and be wary of some of the freeware shit that people download. Some has Malware introduced to it. For example they slow down your machine purposely just so that they can get you to pay to speed it up. I think you hardware is fine. Hardware failures usually don't behave that way. That was a performance issue.
