Our LAW LOVER'S LOUNGEā¢ series addresses a general overview of some of the most important issues to the general public! I am an attorney and have owned a general practice law firm since 1998 in Texas, USA. We call this series its title because we do love law! Seriously.
This is a lounge because these are general discussions on general legal topic for public information purposes. There is no client relationship created between this show and Attorney Courtney E. Anderson, or The Law Offices of Courtney E. Anderson (Litigation-Mitigation.com). These disclaimers are very important. The content in these shows is for general educational purposes and is not the delivery of legal services. This episode is, āA marriage license is just a piece of paper! Or, is it?ā Ah, love! Heart racing, blood pumping, skin tingling, love! The heart wants what the heart wants. Marriage can be the unification of two souls, two minds, two hearts into one lifelong partnership, friendship, and romantic union. It also can be a stressful experience fraught with financial, emotional, and even physical pain. The power of a legal marriage (i.e., that the government recognizes) is immense. Your debt, [...] This episode is part of our EDUCATORSā EDENā¢ series wherein we explore the paradise that the most passionate, creative and committed educators create for themselves, their students, peers, administrations and institutions!
I have taught around 350 three (3) - credit hour course equivalents over the past 17 years. Whew! I have taught associate degree, bachelors degree, and graduate degree level courses. I have taught at public highly selective institutions, at private institutions, at for profit institutions, at open access degree programs, in lecture halls with hundreds of students in a single class and online with smaller classes. I have also mentored new faculty and coached existing faculty in their classes. I am not even including all of the adult education I have provided as a corporate trainer to organizations around the world! I am excited to discuss this specific episode topic of, "Teaching college courses online is easy!ā¦NOT!ā The stereotype of an online college professor who has no commute to work and is able to lounge around their home while āteachingā intermittently is wildly inaccurate. The reality is that the technology requires that online educators commit to an entire additional area of [...] In our HELP! SITUATION SPOTLIGHTā¢ series, we shine the light on challenges that community members have shared with me. This episode is, āHow do I pick 'the right' college for my first degree?ā
If you are new to your first college degree, in general (from a US perspective), degrees are awarded based on completed credit hours. One credit hour is based on one class hour per week throughout the duration of a semester. So, a class that meets for three hours per week for an entire term will be worth three credit hours upon successful completion. An associate degree is roughly 60 credit hours. A bachelors degree is 120 credit hours. Thus, to earn a bachelors degree would take 40 different three credit classes (which is why it takes several years to graduate). So, what is āthe right collegeā for your first college degree (associate or bachelor)? As of the time of recording this show, I have earned four college degrees. 1) My bachelor's degree, B.A. (my transcript shows 124 credit hours earned), and; 2) my Doctor of Jurisprudence degree, J.D. (my transcript shows 86 credit hours), and; 3) my Master of Business Administration, M.B.A (my transcript shows 36 credit hours), and; 4) my Master of Science degree, M.S. (my transcript shows 39 credit hours) . Thus, I have earned 285 credit hours. I am also currently pursuing another graduate degree! I can confidently state that I have the requisite experience as a college student to help you in regards to making effective decisions (which will ensure you graduate)! As an educator (college professor) I have taught around 350 three (3) - credit hour course equivalents over the past 17 years. Whew! I have taught associate degree, bachelors degree, and graduate degree level courses. I have taught at public highly selective institutions, at private institutions, at for profit institutions, at open access degree programs, in lecture halls with hundreds of students in a single class and online with smaller classes. I have also mentored new faculty and coached existing faculty in their classes. I am not even including all of the adult education I have provided as a corporate trainer to organizations around the world! My additional educator expertise in higher education is deployed in this program as we discuss what is 'the right' college for your first degree! Why are you going to college? If you are not at all concerned with financial issues [...] In the MYTH WARRIORSā¢ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not. We are warriors fighting to establish clarity between what is accurate and what is simply a myth (or falsehood) in life. In this episode our topic is, āProfessional success is based on who you know, NOT what you know!ā
How do we surpass our goals? Is it based on long years of study, sacrifice, skill development and striving? Or, is that a myth that cheats people out of ever achieving their ultimate dreams? Does real success in life come from making those āconnectionsā which will open up doors and put you on the easy and quick path to prosperity and power? This concept is very powerful and is pervasive. Do you need to simply āget to knowā the right people and magically be transported to the life of ease, living amongst the elite? Can you ānetworkā with others who will show/ teach/ share secrets with you to find the key to unlock the door to āthe good life?ā There are a multitude of sources who will assure you that they have the āsecretā that will change your job/ income/ economic situation and if you āinvest in yourselfā they will make sure you are successful beyond your wildest dreams.Perhaps.
