Best Business Colleges 2011
Business Colleges have come under fire in recent years for the financial crisis, while the implosion of firms like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns robbed graduates of traditional employment landing spots. A business degree at a leading school like Stanford costs $275,000 in tuition and forgone salary on average, but it still pays off.
Why? Business Colleges is still one of the best ways to jump start your career and hiring has picked up after two lackluster years with 57% already having a job offer three months before graduation compared to 40% in 2010 according to a survey by the Graduate Management Admission Council which administers the GMAT exam.

Court Reporting Programs in New York
Today I will suggest a Court Reporting Program in New York: The Court and Realtime Reporting Academic Program of Alfred State College.
This Court Reporting Program prepares students for careers as official, freelance, realtime reporters, and captioners. Jobs are available for competent court reporters to work in all fields of reporting, including realtime and closed captioning for the hearing impaired.
One feature of the court and realtime reporting program is the development of high recording skills to 225-plus words per minute through the use of realtime translation machine shorthand and computer aided transcription (CAT). In the first year, students learn realtime shorthand theory and develop computer skills that will enhance their overall employability. The prerequisite for entering the specialized court reporting course in the summer session is the attainment of a minimum recording speed of 90 words per minute. Development of skills in recording and transcribing specialized court reporting matter starts in the summer term and continues through the second year. Students in their senior year elect to go in to judicial or broadcast captioning.
All entering students are required to purchase their own computerized shorthand machine and student software in order to practice realtime writing outside the class. The approximate cost of this equipment is $2,000 and should be included in college expenses.
The College offers court reporting-related courses (courses with a CTRP prefix) over the Internet, making it possible for students who transfer in credit or attend other colleges to earn their certificate from Alfred State College in court and realtime reporting. The Internet approach still requires two years of course work and does not change any of the standards reflected in graduation requirements for all students. The Internet approach is designed for those who are currently working and seeking a change in career, single parents, or individuals who cannot attend college campus.
Court Reporting & Realtime Reporting & Captioning
What do the terms court reporting, realtime reporting, and captioning mean?
Court Reporting is the art and skill of taking down in shorthand what is said during a particular proceeding and then transcribing it into written form. Court reporting is a generic term that also includes many other job opportunities for the person trained in the skill of taking verbatim dictation and transcribing it.
Realtime reporting is used to produce an immediate transcript of proceedings by using a steno writer connected to a computer. Realtime reporting takes place in a variety of situations including court and deposition work as well as closed captioning.
Captioning is the immediate translation of what is being said onto a television monitor for viewing of the words by the hearing impaired. The closed captioned words appear at the bottom of the television set, usually two lines at a time. As a person speaks, the lines change to reflect what is being said.

How to be a Certified Nurse Anesthetist?
Some friends want to be a nurse and then a Certified Nurse Anesthetist, and ask me some questions like these:
I wanted to know how long need to attend school to become a nurse anesthetist?
What is the education required to become one? Is it difficult to do?
And how much money does one make? Also, direct me to any programs for this in San Francisco if you can.
Here is the simple guide to be a Certified Nurse Anesthetist:
You need to become a RN before becoming a CRNA. You need a masters degree to become a CRNA. First you would need to get a BSN (4 year nursing degree). Mostgraduate programs require some type of experience working as a nurse before you can apply to the graduate program. So you would need to work as a RN for a few years, and then apply to a CRNA program. So you are looking at 4 or 5 years to get your BSN, 2 or 3 years of clinical experience, and then another 2 years to become a CRNA. You are looking at a minimum of 8 years, and that is if you complete everything on time and are choosing to go to school full time.
You might find that it is difficult to be working towards a goal for this long, but it can be rewarding in the end. Becoming a CRNA is very stressful, as many see it as you are basically responsible for your patient’s life. If it is something you strive to do, then the time will not matter. CRNA’s make very good money. Any nurse with an advanced degree will make at least 70,000 and easily 80,000 or 90,000 with experience.
Look at colleges around your area with a BSN program first. You may decide that you want to go to graduate school somewhere else so it’s not necessary to find one at this point. Start off with getting into the college, finishing your prerequisites with good grades, and then apply to the nursing program of your choice. Keep in mind that nursing programs and becoming increasingly competitive and some even have mile long waiting lists, so it’s in your best interest to take your prerequisite courses seriously and do well in them.
