what are ya majors?

[Just another 240]

just curious about what everyone's majoring in college, and if you still in h.s what you think you going to major in?

[rousie13]

Mechanical Engineering....maybe specializing in the Automotive area.

[aznromeox]

I'm majoring in Electrical Engineering once I get out of high school. I'm planning on getting a minor in Computer Science and Mathematics and Business.

My uncle did this and said it was challenging but he made it through even though he was a FOB when he went to college.. ;0

[nismofan14]

Bio-psych. If not that then industrial psych. Needless to say I will be in school for awhile. I just started college and i am 21.....had to take off a couple of years to figure out what i wanted to do with my life and car..........

[TrueSlide]

I was in for Computer networking and business, but Iam gonna change temporary. Go get my A+ then go back and get the networking!!! Networking isnt that hard, I like it, but I think the A+ would be easier and faster to get, and from my understanding land a decent tech job pretty quick.

[Icepik240]

Huh...M.E. is common among car guys? I was an ME for 2 years...then I sold out and went to law school. :rolleyes

[aznromeox]

A+ is the basic foundation on which to build your computer cetifications. I got mine my Freshmen year in Highschool. .... I'm taking a class learning a bit about cisco... its hard stuff.

icepik, are you gonna be a lawyer? and how long does it take to be a lawyer?

[Icepik240]

are you gonna be a lawyer?

Yes. I am planning on going into prosecution (either civil or criminal), but that could change. My undergrad degree is in criminal science, so I will likely stay in that field.

how long does it take to be a lawyer?

Law school is 3 years, and then about another 3-6 months to take and pass the bar exam.

It's not too bad though...it's interesting stuff, but can be very frustrating sometimes.

[Redfastbk]

Transportation Design

Icepik240: is there a difference btw paralegal and going to an actual law school and study law?

[tex240]

i am wondering what is the best school to go to for automotive engineering. also my other plan is wyotech or UTI for mechanics. thanks for the help

[rousie13]

All I know is my school doesn't offer auto eng, only mech eng. I might get my masters in auto eng though. By the way I go to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Just another 240:

The short answer: A paralegal is basically what a RN is to a doctor. A paralegal has certain abilities, usually drafting paperwork, legal research and being a gopher for their supervising lawyer.

The long answer: A paralegal does not require a specific degree, but does require certifacation training (usually comparable to an associates.) Attending (and graduating) law school does not make you a lawyer, the only way to become a certified lawyer is to take the Bar Exam in the state you want to practice. However, you can't take the bar exam without graduating from an accredited law school.

Paralegal training is very specific...how to draft contracts, how to do research. It is "How-to" education. Law school is much more general and theory oriented, it tries to teach the "why", and assumes you will figure the rest out on your own.

Hope that makes sense. If you'd like to know more, hit me on AIM: Icepik125
