Question #1:

How to get my NCO to go to promotion board?

I have maxed out my correspondence have 58 college credits have 29 on weapon card 227 pt card 1 GCM maxed out COA's. Now I have not deployed and have 4 yrs in service. Because of Stress fractures I now have a P2 profile. My NCO has told me he needs to see more leader ship out of me. I have done all I can and they keep telling me the same thing every month. He did say once he was tired of giving me the same counseling since I have no real reason keeping me back. What can I do to get my self to the board to get promoted if I get all the commander points and walk out of the board with an 140 I will have a 640 points. My mos is 92 f. Need some good advice to move in my career.

Question #2:

My brother doesn't want to do well at school just because I don't do well at uni? What to do?!?

My brother is in school and has exams coming up.
I'm at uni, in the career of my choice, so i'm pretty satisfied. My marks aren't stunning but I still passed everything till date..my performance isnt as good as it can be because of a lot of personal problems (i even had to go counseling).

My parents are really worried about my brother, and whenever they ask him to study, he always uses me to escape by saying "how come he doesn't have to study". My parents will tell him to get good marks, then he'll be like "how come he doesn't get good marks". My parents understand my situation, and i'm sure the little brat does too, but he's using me as an excuse for his laziness.

I know I'd sound like a hypocrite if i told him to study and get good grades...but theres no point in giving bad advice right..
Any advice on what to say to him?

Question #3:

AUS psychology, career help (experienced answers only)?

Im currently doing an apprenticeship Im pretty close to finishing up and was looking to study in design etc to do Landscape Architecture, but as of the last few months I have been heavily inclined to study Psychology, prefferably in counselling helping with anxiety, depression, suicide etc. I feel as ive experienced these things that I could really help, Ive looked into a few things and I have good communication skills and I was wondering from previous experience the main things you should consider before applying to Uni

1. Difficulty level of the degree/Diploma

2. Main aspects you should be good at (i,e maths statisticts)

3. Job availablility post study

4. career oppurtunities overseas

thank you
The university of UQ st lucia in Brisbane offers a 4 year Bachelor of degree with majors in Psychology ,so basically im asking what do I need to take into consideration before applying for this course :

I am wishing to take on a career in Psychology and am interested in Clinical and Being a counselling Psychologist in saying that I am wondering simple how difficult the course is (how much study is required etc), Im very dedicated to learning about it.

hope that helps

Question #4:

I may lose my financial aid. Help in revising my letter of appeal? Only 1 paragraph!?

This is really embarrassing but I would rather ask a stranger than my friends to read this.
I'm about the lose my financial aid for the incoming school year (I start at the end of September.) I may be able to get it back by writing a letter of appeal stating why I have not been academically successful this year.

Can you please help me make any corrections to the following paragraph?
and Is the paragraph comprehensible? or do I need to further explain my situation in more depth?

I have always been a good student. When I got into college my GPA was a 3.89. My first quarter went great. I got a 3.4 GPA. During winter quarter of my freshman year, my father was diagnosed with cancer. This was devastating to me and my family. I fell into a downward spiral; I was such an emotional wreck and I could barely function. I felt so depressed; I was tired all the time, I had no energy or motivation to go to class, I was always sleepy and the only reason I ate was because my friends forced me to. Because I was a pre-psychology major, I did not seek any type of counseling thinking that it would somehow hinder my career opportunities once I graduated. That quarter my GPA fell to a 1.5 and I fell behind on my units. My father had surgery to remove the cancer and everything seemed to be going better. By the time spring quarter ended, I had raised my GPA to a 2.9, however, I was still behind on units because of winter quarter and I was placed on financial aid probation. I attended summer school and gained more units than what I was originally missing.

Question #7:

How do I choose a major in college if my choice majors don't match my personality?

Currently I am a college freshman, but due to my credits I qualify as a sophomore, which means I need to choose a major soon. I am currently Undecided, but I have a few majors in mind. The problem is, the majors I have in mind do not match my personality. Is that of concern? I have interest in majors like Advertising and Public Relations and Hospitality Management, for example, but I took the Holland's test and it said my personality was Social and Investigative. Careers that it reccommended to me were ones like Anethesiologist, Counseling Psychologist, etc. Although I have somewhat an interest in Nursing and Psychology, it concerns me that my top major like Ad/PR do not fit my personality. Should I be worried?

Question #8:

Could you please help me decide on a future career path?

Greetings,

I am a prospective student who is looking at becoming a physical chemist (which, broadly-speaking, is simply a major branch of theoretical chemistry), but I am currently hesitant in pursuing a career path in this field of choice; from the threshold I hold, I see that physical chemistry is a low-paying job, and I am worried that I may not have a viable position in the future if the salary for such a chemist is this low. From research, I can infer that the average salary of a physical chemist ranges from $50,000 to $70,000, and I do see myself aiming for the latter pay, as I plan to earn a Ph.D in the field and then cover a couple of years of post-doctorial teaching or research at the university I intend to attend. In addition to the first quandary that I face, I also see that physical chemists do not have as much career opportunities as other chemists graduating with similar degrees, such as in organic or analytical chemists.

Seriously, I love chemistry (I have completed the ninth grade chemistry course in canada, but I have been studying 12th and university 1st level chemistry on my very own time; I also have a great aptitude for the maths and physics). For me, I view theoretical chemistry as my clear choice for a future vocation, but the dilemmas that surface in regards to my decision leave me apprehensive of my thoughts. I have also been told that applied research chemists make decent salaries and work in a great many fields, but I would really like it if someone could assist me in deciding if theoretical chemistry is the way to pursue my future occupation and then clarify if there are other alternatives to physical chemistry and applied research chemistry (such as a chemical engineer or analytical chemist).

In the end, as I am still maturing and reaching the point of critical decision-making for my future career, I would appreciate any counseling one may provide, and I am definitely looking for clear admonishments you may provide. Finally, if you do agree that I should pursue physical chemistry, do you recommend me attending the University of Waterloo or University of Toronto? I have researched that both afford great conveniences for prospective students studying chemistry in Canada, so I want to attend either of them, albeit I have a penchant for the University of Waterloo and the world-class co-op program they have to offer.

I understand this question of "wether I should pursue a job in physical chemistry even if the future of this occupation doesn't look too great" has gotten extremely protracted, but I wish to present the greatest gratitude to everyone that assists me in this difficult decision.

Thank you very much...

Question #9:

describe a social workers life?

can someone describe all the types of social workers. i know there are the average social workers and then there is the medical social worker. i have an interest in this career and i want to help people and their community. if you could tell me both what these two types of social working does and their daily lives i would appreciate it!!!!! also i plan on moving to Washington the state WA (not dc) so if you know what are some good schools to choose from please tell me; i had average grades (not Straight A's or anything)

also very IMPORTANT i have interest in medical things .like medical terminology,psychology and how the body functions, is there any careers that you suggest that would utilize that knowledge, i thought social working would but it would help if i knew the daily life of one. i have no interest in being a doctor or a nurse, however i do have some interest in counseling and what not. I am also aware that social working is one of the lowest paying college ed required job.

also what classes would be needed to become one. and do you suggest getting a higher degree than a bachelors, and the reasons for the suggestion. AGAIN I THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

PS. i know everything involves a little math but i just want to make sure, that it doesn't, right? because i am not a math person. im fine with paper work.... as long as math isn't needed! lol

Question #10:

How to help my mom with depression...?

Hi. My mom has been suffering with depression for about the last year and a half. Basically, my grandmother passed away more than two years ago, we took on the debt of the house plus my mothers credit card bills. My mom is divorced and very alone. She also lost her job, and after several interviews and "filler jobs" nothing is seeming to work out. Lately, her emotions she kept hidden and covered up from her marriage are starting to pour out, and she now has to deal with them. My father emotionally abused her, cheated on her, and his parents demeaned and belittled her. Her marriage ended about 12 years ago but she is just now facing it all. She never fully dealt with the pain; instead, she used her career and our amazing mother daughter relationship as an outlet. Since her career has left, she has been in her own head a lot and has really lost herself and her inspiration to find a job and herself again. We have pin pointed her problem to not being able to "seek." She knows what she wants, but she is waiting for it. She says that she has lost her ambition and that she just does not care anymore.

The thing is, my mom admits she has depression and that she wants to tackle it. We have had several heart felt talks and goals set; however, we cannot afford treatment. Also, she wants to gain a greater relationship with Christ and go to mass more, but what steps can we take to grow in a relationship, which verses, where do we start? Do you know of any websites we can look at for a self treatment, or if there is free group counseling, or blogs, anything!!!?

Thanks for reading through all of this. I'm a teenager and my mom is in her early 50's. She is gorgeous and I am not just saying that, she looks about 30. She also has an amazing sense of humor and charisma, so I just hate seeing her waste her life away, dwelling in our home becoming stir crazy.

Question #11:

Why women change so much with age?

My wife 37 yrs old almost 38, one day told she is not in love with me anymore. Started hanging with friends in the middle 20"s, going to the gym, burned the kitchen almost the whole house. We went to marriage counseling and always complaining about me. One day the counselor told her to stop verbal abusing me and just looking for minor details to put your husband down, She didn't like it because was not in her side. She decided not to go to counseling anymore and do whatever she wanted it. She wen out one night and we argued about disrespecting me and my 6 years old son. Next week acting weird and iresponsable. She went out again during the weekend and I made my statement clear I am not going to tolerate this anymore. Make story short I found out that I new younger guy was in her life. I checked her cell phone bill and confronted it. We argued and left home two weeks later to a nearby apartment. 6 months later found out that the guy was just playing with her but with the divorce papers already in process. After 10 months of separation asked for forgiveness did it the wrong way. I am way better than the other guy but still wants the divorce. She wants us to be best friend obviously I said NO WAY just the father of our son.She wants me to find another women and be happy. she doesn't trust guys anymore and now is spending time hiking and taking dance classes. I don't know what is going on with her? Married for 10 years, 2 houses 1 is on rent. We traveled together every year during summer time. Help her to finish her career and became a teacher. Reason for the divorce, I was not romantic with her. That I was ashamed to hold her hands and kiss her in front of everybody.I do accept this but I always told her that to look around if others people were doing that. If that a reason for a divorce? Always complaining that I never did anything for her and that I neglected her. Now she is seen a woman psychologist that is telling her that once a woman ask for a divorce it is because they really want it. That is her version.
I am not talking or communicating with her, I want my space and live in peace. In our last conversation I told her that I am not planning to ask her to come back anymore. If she thinks that she loves me again to try it but not sure if I want to go back. I do love her a lot but to much damage in our relationship been done. My family doen't know about the other guy just her mom that didn't talk to her for 8 months. She doesn't want me to go back with her unless she come back on her own. Mom is not helping her anymore and need to do everything by herself like a mature girl.
I am confuse about what that hell happen to her? She was an amazing wife and mother.
What should I Do? give me your advice.

Question #12:

wife in midlife crisis?

Question #13:

I am very good at career counselling. I need to earn from this. Can anybody suggest me best ways to earn?

I am very good at career counselling. I need to earn from this. Can anybody suggest me best ways to earn?Please suggest.

Question #14:

Husband in a sexual rut, can't seem to get him to do anything besides the same ole same ole everytime?

For a few months now my husband and I have been out of sync sexually.
We just moved to a foreign country and as result he's taken on a new role at work (military), its not going so well and he's told me that he feels depressed but not comfortable seeking counseling just yet. I understand that there is a certain stigma about seeking help for depression in his career feild, and especially at this base of operation so I've choosen not to push the issue. I know him well enough to know that he will deal with things on his own terms and in his own time. At least he always has in the past.
Also since moving here our toddler son has hit a growth spurt developmentally. He's walking, talking in full sentences- all things he wasn't doing when we first moved. I am a 'stay at home' mother and all of these new milestones have taken abit of adjustment for both myself and my husband.
Change is good, but its not always easy.

At this point, I feel like we've managed to work through most of the issues that have come about with our recent life changes. Things were awkward and lonely there for alittle while but at this point we've reconnected and there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Part of that maybe that we've finally found a sitter we trust enough to watch our son while we go out on date-nights like we used to.

We're finally back to holding hands, kissing good morning, and having sex regularly.
There's just one little hurdle left that I am having problems helping us cross:
I want to try new things, and when I mention this to my husband he seems on board, but then never acts on what we discuss trying.
I've taken to doing to him exactly what I want him to do to me, so that he knows what I'm asking for. But then he doesn't reciprocate.

When I talk to my husband about why he doesn't take action, when I've shown him what I want and he's agreed that he'd enjoy doing that to me in return, but then he does...the same ole same ole (for lack of better wording)
His excuse is that he wants to try new things but that in the moment he's always so tired that he goes back habit.

I know he's exhausted from work so I try to help him stay rested, I arrange time for him to relax after work and on the weekends...
All the rest in the world doesn't seem to help him break this rut of sexual habits
I know we'll get past this eventually but...any tips on how to help him out?
The only time we break routine is when I take the lead, but I really prefer to be submissive at least once in awhile.

Question #15:

How can I quit alcohol without going through rehab? My drinking is all done secretly. No one is making me.?

I definitely have a problem though. I want to quit and am addicted. I am an attractive, married, health conscious female, but my personality is wrong for my lifestyle and family. I have tried prescription medication but that is an addiction as well. I just want to gradually taper and never touch it again. My teenage children and passive aggressive distant husband add to the fun. Counsel ling hasn't helped.I used to be able to run my tension out but now my knees and hips have degenerated. I work out regularly and volunteer. My husband wants me at home, so my career was sacrificed as well. It was quit your job or no second child. HELP. My life is killing me.

Question #16:

What can I do with a masters degree in liberal arts? Is this kind of a degree really valuable and viable?

Hi!

I'd like some answers from individuals experienced with career counseling, or counseling or masters in liberal arts degrees. I am considering getting a liberal arts master but am concerned i cannot use it in the work force, or that I am wasting my money. For example, if one receives a masters in literature, then they can go on to teach literature at a community college or tech school. If one receives a masters in liberal arts can they teach in their concentration? Also, if one gets a masters in Social work then one can move on to becoming a counselor, so if one's concentration in Liberal arts is Sociology, can someone then move into a counseling and licensure qualification when they are done? Any help would be appreciated.

Question #17:

can i get any toll free numbers for career counselling online?

Question #18:

I need information on becoming a licensed therapist..?

I am in my last years of high school and need to begin planning for my future, partially for my culminating / senior project. I've always known what I wanted to do, which is to be a licensed therapist / counselor, eventually opening up my own practice.

As far as my internet research goes, I've figured there are a couple paths I could go for college. Master's in Psychology, Counseling, or Social Work. However, it's hard to find specifics on what exactly would be best for my interests. I know my family therapist has a Masters in Social Work, but she also worked as a social worker for about half of her career.

In short, I'd like to become a licensed therapist, open up my own practice eventually, and provide one on one or group therapy to many different types of people.

Can anyone give me some examples of how I should begin, or even just a guideline to help me find more information, or a personal story?

Thanks :)

Question #20:

I'm 17 -- Career or Pipe dream?

In my generation, I've seen a lot more teenagers get pregnant, more suffering from abusive relationships & abusive house-holds. I myself have been through some trials when it comes to relationships with boyfriends and I've witnessed and lived some stuff!

For a career, I'd love to start a program specializing in teenage issues. Whether it be helping teens with there pregnancy, providing them with the right care, keeping them off the streets, or counselling them through problems such as abusive relationships & how to get out of them. I'd love to build a home away from home, maybe even something like a shelter attached to it. I'd also love to promote No drug use/ Alcohol use during pregnancy around the world!

Maybe, I'm just being silly because I know i'll need the right funds for this. So am I just being silly? Or could this realistically happen? & How?
