What is your philosophy of higher education?

Posted on July 24th, 2010 by admin in education | 2 Comments »

I am trying to write a paper for one of my classes, and am having a hard time finding information on the topic. Our prof wants us to get others philosophies of higher education and evaluate them and come up with our own. However, when I search "philosophy of higher education" all I get is info on PhD programs! So, if you are a higher ed administrator or an educator, what is your philosophy of higher education, or what is your college’s philosophy?
Also if you have any tips on where to find this information, or better ways to search, please let me know!
Thanks for your help!

One reason why you may not be finding anything specifically on this topic is because it is subjective and interpretive.

My opinion is that higher education is fine if it has a practical application. For instance, practicing law or becoming a doctor but there are many other professions where this could hamper the individual. From a professional aspect, the worst Engineers I have ever had on my staff or worked with me are PhD’s. Their minds are developed in such an analytical manner that they become dysfunctional. Also, this is compounded by people who achieve degrees all in the same field i.e. engineering. I think it is great from a science perspective but from management or operatability it is useless.

I would rather see an Engineer with an undergrad and MS or a MBA rather than a PhD anytime. To this day, I wont higher PhD because I have no use for them.

What education do I need to become an Apartment Manager?

Posted on July 21st, 2010 by admin in education | 5 Comments »

My Father is looking into buying about 15-20 apartments. He would like for me to get an education in order to become a large part of running the complex. It’s an investing opportunity, and my father honestly doesn’t know anything about it himself, so he’s basically counting on me to do it all. I am very interested though.

In the case of the apartment building I used to live in, a third grade education was sufficient for the manager.

What education is needed to be a radiology nurse?

Posted on July 18th, 2010 by admin in education | 2 Comments »

What does the job entail, salary, description?

I am trying to find a nurse specialty and someone meantioned it but I’m not positive what exactly the job calls for especially education wise.

The other answerers are incorrect. It’s a specialty of nursing. You don’t go through radiology school.

"The larger medical centers may employ a radiological nurse who provides for the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the patient who is undergoing tests or treatment in a radiology department. The radiological nurse usually develops and manages a care plan to help patients understand procedures and, later, recuperate from the procedures. This may also include working with a patient’s family.

The nurse can perform examinations or carry out preventive health measures within the prescribed guidelines and instructions of the radiologist. In addition, the nurse can record physician findings and discuss cases with either the radiologist or other health care professionals. Often, a radiological nurse will assist during examinations or therapy. Radiological nurses must have graduated from an accredited nursing school. Each nurse must also pass a national licensing examination."

What type of education do you need for sound engineering?

Posted on July 12th, 2010 by admin in education | 2 Comments »

I want to be a sound engineer and work my way up to a recording engineer or a producer but I don’t know what type of education I need at 15 years old as I go through high school. What education do I need in general. I’ve read electrical engineering comes in handy, but I’m not sure.

there isn’t really any education that you NEED in the industry. the music industry is more about who you know than schooling.

that being said there are a lot of things you can learn that will help you along the way. knowing electronics is good because gear breaks, and being able to fix it, or at least understand it works. this also gives you the option to create your own stuff. i’ve known people that have created their own pre-amps, and microphones because they know what they’re doing. communications classes are good because being an engineer you have to be able to communicate with people. you will have artists and producers that will tell you that they want the guitar to be more "crunchy" or the hat needs more "shine". you have to be able to know what they mean when they say that. a lot of stuff like that just comes down to being familiar with a lot of different types of music, and how its recorded. business is always good especially now in recording. many engineers are losing jobs because of how easy it is to record at home. knowing the business side you may help keep a studio alive, or start your own indpendent freelance studio.

like i said, education really doesn’t matter. you can pay thousands of dollars going to school and learning how to do the stuff, or you can research and do it yourself.

the most important things i would study as far as the actual engineering is the processing type sides of it. by this i mean learn how EQ, reverb, compression, delay, etc are and how it works. understanding how things like that work and the theory behind it will help you understand how to apply it on a session.

one thing that would be good to get used to (especially at your age) is to study the sounds of music. by this i basically mean, listen to a lot of music. but don’t just listen to it. you have to hear it and understand it. listen to the overall mix of the music. where is the guitar? is it panned to the left? right? if so, why? listen to music like it’s a picture. listen to all genres to understand how the snare sounds in a metal song compared to a pop or country song. listen to bands you don’t like and study the music. it sucks listening to crap, but it will help you learn more. this is highly important when it comes to mixing a record. some people think it’s just about turning up and down each instrument until it all sounds right. but there is soooooooo much more to it.

as a final note, i want to stress that it is very tough to make it in the music industry. engineering is the same situation. if you do study and get a degree, get something that will give you options of the music industry doesn’t work out. i would start recording stuff as soon as possible. if you can record a lot of stuff and get good at it by the time you graduate, you may be able to go get an internship at a studio without spending a lot of money for school.

good luck
