Perhaps you are just starting out in the job market. Your future is still ahead of you and you are considering which route would be the best for you-- but you are just not sure which path would provide the best options down the line-- both financially and mobility-wise. Or perhaps you have a career now, but you are still looking for that perfect job, or maybe one that is more fulfilling. Since you may be considering where to go with your future, it is important to weigh all of the available options.
One that is becoming more and more popular is the field of law enforcement. This field not only offers job prospects, but can be one of the fulfilling options for the new job seeker. Law enforcement can offer ways to serve your community while making enough money to support a family. Even better, it offers job security at a time when the economy is struggling so much and many people do not feel like they will keep their jobs over the long term. With a job in this field, you can feel more secure.
There are many different options out there for the job seeker. You may be looking for a criminal justice degree. If that is the case, it is important to look at the options within that major. There are many different schools that offer this program, and you can find ones that will offer them online. A criminal justice degree can offer a way in to many different job options-- there are job openings across the country for private investigators, police, attorneys, customs agents or more. This flexibility will help you when you decide to either enter the job market or perhaps continue even further with your education. This way, you can take advantage of the degree. Even better, your degree may be related to other subjects as well, which can help you get involved in those other areas. This could be very helpful during the job hunt.
Of course, within criminal justice, you can also look at a online paralegal degree. This is a growing subfield and can offer ways for you to enter into a high paying job after receiving your education. Depending on your situation, you may be qualified for student aid and you may have some credits that transfer. With these options open to you, you can make a better, more informed decision about where you may want your future to head.

Paying for a College Education
Your finances is one of the most important aspects of your life. You need to make sure that you are financially steady so you can react better to the obstacles that may come your way. This is especially the case when you are thinking about your future. When you consider such important topics as education, you need to make sure that you are getting the most for your money and that you are doing so in a proper manner.
Going to college could be the most important decision of your life. Studies have shown that college graduates earn far more money than their high school graduate counterparts. When looking at the opportunities before you-- such as promotion, career mobility, and pay, college is a very important thing to consider. Without that degree or certification, you may be passed over when it comes to an important part of your future job!
Of course, one of the most important things about college is paying for it. With the economy in the state it is in, it may seem daunting to come up with the money necessary to go for your higher education. This is why it is important to research every option that is available to you and your family. There are often resources at your fingertips that you may not realize right away. Sometimes the way for you to further your education may be just out of sight. There are many different options out there for the prospective student. Some schools offer scholarships for high aptitude in academics or sports. Some offer grants, depending on your situation. The federal government offers student grants to most students, while there are other options for student aid, depending on the person. However, many people use student loans to help pay their way through college. These student loans can make a huge difference in the financing of your future. With tens of thousands of dollars often necessary for a bachelor's degree, it is important to make sure that you take a close look at the student loan option.
You may be asking yourself: how do student loans work? Well, there are many factors surrounding the student loan industry. It is important to look at many different factors, such as your income level and your marital status. You may be eligible for many different loans and programs, but it is important that you take the first step and start looking at your options. The student loans can make the difference in paying for a two, four, or six year education. You can be more flexible with your payments, depending on the program, and can tailor one specifically to your situation. With that knowledge before you, you can now go forward with more confidence in your future. You can see the doors opening for your new education and maybe your new future.

The 2012 VP Sweepstakes
Let the 2012 Vice-Presidential sweepstakes begin!
It seems I can't read a story about the 2012 election or Mitt Romney anymore without the inevitable discussion of who he will select to be his running mate. So, why not indulge in the madness?
Presidential candidates select their running mates for one of three reasons: excite the base; excite an region, or for governing qualities. George Bush's selection of Cheney was the third, while McCain's surprise Palin pick was the first, and I can't remember the last time someone was selected to carry a state.
However, this election is going to be different from past contests (just look at the historical trends the three amigos shattered during the primaries), and the choice of one very popular regional statesman might turn the race this November. But that doesn't mean Romney is just waiting to unveil Portman, who is largely unknown outside of Ohio, as his number two.
He might take the base more into consideration then he normally would to salve doubts about him in general, or he might just really have someone he considers qualified for the position, and he doesn't give two damns what the political ramifications will be. Both are possible, just as much as the first.
Regardless, no one will know what he's thinking until sometime before the convention in August and who knows what the political landscape will look like by then. He might be up by five points, and go with the gut choice, or he could be trailing by five and select the base pleasing, swing state politician, who might save his campaign from ultimate defeat.
All we can do is go through the countless choices, thus driving ourselves insane in the process, but at the same time fulfilling our inner political junky man-child, and hope our favored candidate is picked.

One way to think of the difference between these two fields is to recognize that while both occupational therapists and physical therapists help patients, occupational therapists are more concerned with performing every day or repetitive tasks, while physical therapists focus on actual physical movement. For example, if a person is injured in a car accident, a physical therapist will work with the patient on recovering range of movement in arms and legs, while an occupational therapist will work with the patient on improving coordination, managing a wheelchair or walker, and grasping household objects.

And The Republican Party of Virginia Wonders Why It Can't Get Traction in Fairfax County
As many know, there is an open senate seat in Virginia due to the retirement of Sen. Jim Webb. The GOP has four candidates running in the primary. There will be a series of debates before the primary. One such debate is in Northern Virginia. For those who may not be aware, Northern Virginia is progressive central. The reason that many here are unhappy with Obama is because he has not been left enough. As you can imagine the republican party has a hard time gaining ground in this atmosphere.
This race is said not to be all that competitive, George Allen is expected to win the primary handily. But, the "experts" have been wrong before. I like George Allen, but there are few other interesting candidates as well. So I was really looking forward to hearing the debate before making up my mind who I was going to support in the primary.
As some may know, I no longer can drive for health reasons. So I have to take the bus to get anywhere during the day. For those who have never had the pleasure of taking mass transit, the buses don't exactly run the most direct route. You can go all over kingdom come to get to your final destination. The bus I needed to take to the Fairfax County Republican Committee office is one such bus. It is maybe 10 miles, but it takes more than hour to get there. I then have to walk about a quarter mile to get to the office.
Today is the day that the tickets are supposed to be available. Here is a portion of the email that I received, you can read the entire email here:
The third debate will be held on Friday May 25th at 6:30pm at the Fairview Park Marriott located at 3111 Fairview Park Drive – Falls Church, Virginia. Free tickets to the Northern Virginia debate will be available beginning on April 20th at the Fairfax and Loudoun GOP Victory Centers.I take two hours out of my day to get to the office to pick up my "free" tickets. When I get there I am told that I have to volunteer for two hours. Hmm, here is the definition of free from dictionary.com:
Idioms 44.for free, Informal . without charge: The tailor mended my jacket for free.Now, is it just me, or is asking someone to perform two hours of "volunteer" work a form of payment? So lets go back to dictionary.com and find out what volunteer means:
vol·un·teeryeah, I think it is a form of payment. Which means that the tickets are not free. So I said to the women at the office today that I thought the are free. She said they are. Really? How so? She then tells me that the email from the Chairman said that volunteer work would be required to get the "free" tickets. Uh, no it doesn't.
noun1.a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for aservice or undertaking 2. a person who performs a service willingly and without pay.
So I wasted well over two hours of my time and have no tickets to the debate. When I got back home I sent the following email to the Chairman:
I am writing to tell you how deceptive the FCRC is. The below email says that the tickets for the debate are free. I no longer drive for health reasons, so it took me two hours round trip to get to the office today to pick up my "free" tickets. Come to find out according to them free means that I have to do two hours of volunteer work. I even inquired on why the email said that the tickets are free, she said they are free. How exactly is something free if you are required to work for two hours? I was told that your email said that they were looking for volunteer help in exchange for the "free" tickets. Unless I am missing something the below email says nothing about volunteering.
There is no way for me to get to the office in Loudon County to get my so-called "free" tickets. So I guess I won't be going to the debate. But I can guarantee you what I will be doing moving forward for the RPV is a big fat zero. Never again will I do work for them. I will not phone bank nor will I give money. It is not like I was some huge donor by any stretch of the imagination, but every dollar helps when you fighting an uphill battle in a county such as this one.
I have given money and volunteered in the past. No more. The RPV will never get another dime or one bit of help from me again. This is why you can't make traction in Fairfax County. No one wants to deal with people who are purposely deceptive.
Thanks for nothing FCRC. Lets go back to dictionary.com one final time:
de·cep·tive[dih-sep-tiv] Show IPA
adjective1.apt or tending to deceive: The enemy's peaceful overtures maybe deceptive.2.perceptually misleading: It looks like a curved line, but it'sdeceptive.
Yeah, I would say that about covers it.
This isn't so much that I am not willing to do volunteer work. I have done plenty. I can list plenty of examples that of work that I have done. Matter of fact I was at the FCRC's office not all that long ago doing data entry work for the delegate conventions that are coming up. This is about principle. If you are going to send out an email saying that the tickets are free, they should actually be free.
