Fun times. |

I have a B.A. in History already, and I'm doing a joint M.A. in Poli Sci/Public Policy right now.
That's awesome. I loved study abroad. Are you there to learn Japanese, or doing something else?

B.A. in History. Boise State University, Class of 1990.
I have my Advanced Idaho Law Enforcement Certificate thanks to my B.A. I got it in just six years (from my date of hire) instead of the usual 15 - 20 years if I didn't have it. Some officers never go beyond the Intermediate level. They're excellent officers, but the requirments to achieve the Advanced level without the added boost of a 4 year degree are formidable. Many advantages to having a higher certificate level. The most immediate is that you earn more pay. So the piece of paper does make a difference for anyone out there who is currently questioning whether it's worth it to continue the effort. |

I am studying Japanese. Right now I'm mired in 300 level, which is where you pick up the majority of your diverse language forms. There are lots of grammar forms and new vocab to use, which is difficult because you don't see any real improvement of your communication skills.
The university I'm at is an International University, so all the classes are taught in English(except for a few at the 100 level for Japanese students still learning). Aside from language and culture stuff, they do mostly Business classes, which is outside the realm of my major(Japanese, Culture Intensive). |

Quote:
Also, for all of you who are in high school now and going to college in the next 2 years: Whatever you do, don't be History majors (like I was). Or, if you are going to be a History major, double-major in something more practical - like Economics, Computer Science, Pre-Med, Pre-Law, etc. There's nothing that corporate employers find less desirable than someone with a Bachelor's in the humanities. Most of my friends in college were History, Political Science, or Sociology majors, and all went back to school within two years of graduation, just as I did.
