Educated?

How I should be educated...

I feel that it necessary at a higher education insitituion such as college that it is important to teach me the exact job skills that I will need in the profession I plan on going into. Unforutnately, I feel at such a young age like 18,19, 20 you have no idea normally what you would like to do in the future. Therefore the younger ages need to be taught basic skills, not necessarily a well-rounded education like most Universities want to provide. Like having to take an Art History course or a Biology course. I feel as if we memorize that information rather than learn it. We need to be taught resume writing skills, interview skills, writing skills, technology skills, political issues that will affect us and our children, we need to understand taxes, the reason why we should vote, what a mortgage is. We need basic life skills that we don't really have a chance to learn. It is hard to learn ideas in the classroom when we are faced with outside pressures of obstacles that we haven't learned how to deal with or understand. Then once we decide a career path we might be interested in...then we are taught the skills for that exact thing. We have on the job training almost.

Did you know?

hahah I just wrote a bunch of stuff and now it didn't save. Technology at its finest.

As a quick wrap up...
I can't believe the fact in 2049 there will be a computer that will only cost $1,000 and will have ability of the entire human species.

I also think it stinks that by the 3rd year of college, half of everything you learned your freshman year will not even matter. It is all old news. What a waste of time and money to put into your education. It is sad to think that we waste so much time learning new ideas and they gone. When will we ever be caught up?

What I am learning...

I have learned from recent discussions....well that there are way too many social networking concepts on the internet. I hadn't realized what twitter was and I also wasn't aware of what to use it for. I was also surprised by all the differences they are making with communication. Grand. Just grand. I also am learning not from discussions, but from the online quizzes. They are teaching more definitions and new terms that I didn't completely know. However, I am a little confused on what questions I can have more than one answer to and ones that only have a single answer. Therefore, I am scoring low on the quizzes. SOOOO....I am not exactly learning how to take the quizzes correctly. They need better directions. However, I am learning more about concepts in the class. I also have learned how to categorize my bookmarks in my favorites list. This is helping me get a lot more organized and I LOVE IT!!! I have all my favorite websites in order now and it is making my research and online visiting much easier! THANK YOU!!

Okay fine Milentoff...I will give it a try.

I find tha technology is especially helping me in a personal way and professioanl way at the same time. It is allowing me to job search at a much faster and effective way. I can look for jobs and see when new ones are posted. Also, since I am in News Broadcast, it is a great way for me to stream my resume tape online. That way producers are able to see my reel right away rather than waiting for me to send them a hard copy, which could take up to a week and by the time it got there the job may already be taken. It can get my face out there much faster via the internet which is quite handy! It is also nice on tvjobs.com how the job will be up and it will show you exactly what the job requirements are and the location of the job, salary, and other expectations. It is a lot nicer than having to drive around to news stations all over the country trying to audition. So far...that is how it will help me professioanlly. Yet, I don't know how blogging is helping me professionally...

Blogging

I already don't like blogging.
