Tax School

Aug-9-2008 By tyralyn

So, last year before tax season started, I looked into Jackson Hewitt’s tax school but I never heard with them until April. I was quite surprised to hear from them, but I was very happy about it and told them that I’d definitely be interested in hearing more when the time came. Well Tuesday when we were gone, they called to talk to me. I forgot to call them back and they called me again today.

The woman asked if I was still interested and I said that I was, so she let me know that the course starts September 8th and that the only cost is the $80 book. I can handle that for sure and if it goes well, I can go to work as a preparer for them. I wouldn’t have a single problem with working for the local Jackson Hewitt office, especially since it’s right across from Rob’s work and our schedules could mesh well enough that it wouldn’t be a hardship. That is, as long as he doesn’t go back on opening or closing. :)

I am excited about the opportunity and can’t wait to get started. I took a tax course in college, but that was 10 years ago and a lot of things have changed since then. This will be a fun and exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to it.

Online Education

Mar-26-2008 By tyralyn

My husband and I were talking about education the other day. He was looking at going to college, but the problem is, he would still have to work full-time at the same time. I was thinking that if he truly wanted to explore further education, he should get into an online degree program.

It would be easier to work on schooling stuff on days off and at night after work, plus it would give him an advantage of not having to sit in a classroom all the time. I found that to be the most annoying part of college. The classroom setting, especially when there were several hours in between my classes and nothing of any real interest to do on campus in between.

I’ve even been thinking about going back to school and getting involved in an online MBA program. It certainly has to be cheaper, since you can “go” to any school that offers online programs and not be stuck with the schools that are in your local area.

Regis University is definitely a great choice to look at, for sure. I just wish that this had been an option for me when I was first going to school. Perhaps I would have been a better student.

Everyone knows that you have to keep your education up to date these days. If you don’t, you won’t get anywhere in the world. But, what are you supposed to do while you’re pursuing your education? Unless you have an endless supply of money, you can only spend so long in school before getting a job. Even if you’re still in school, you may need to get a job.

But if you want to go on for more than an Associate’s degree and you can’t afford it, there are options for Online Masters Degree Programs at Capella University. Being fully accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, Capella University is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA).

Capella University has recently announced that Dr. Christopher Lucies, core member of their faculty, has been named president-elect of the Texas Mental Health Counselors Association. Dr. Lucies will serve a three-year term for them. One year he will serve as president-elect, the following year, he will serve as president, and he will serve his final year as a consultant to the TMHCA board.

This is quite a feat for a fully online university, even more reason to choose Capella University for your Masters Degree.

New Years is always a time to make resolutions, may it be about your health, your career or just your life in general. So if one of your resolutions is to start a new career, then maybe you should consider flight attendant school. You can start a new career traveling.

One thing that you need to keep in mind, however, is that you have to deal with angry people or whiney people all the time.
