Scared and now so confused what to do...?

We Answered:

Hey Ka Yin,

Don't get all down and sad. You are an international student and as a student who is speaking english as a second language you are doing your best to improve yourself as a scholar and a person. What separates failures from those who succeed is that the successful people never give up, they learn to deal with failures and move on to improve their lives.

Work harder, and maybe try taking less classes at once. Try taking 1 or 2 classes a semester until you are ready to take on a full load. There is no reason to try and finish quick.

This is only your second year, try retaking the classes you failed, this will increase your GPA a lot.

I wish you the best of luck, email me if you have any more questions.

Business Administration?

We Answered:

Bi-major in marketing and accounting! As far as i know this is the best combination for any person who are related to business administration field. Today, job market is that not much good and entry in a good multinational company is not that much easy now. I give you advise to join a good company even if you get the job at junior level, now if you will have bi-majors you can look on the opportunities and can grasp any good one either it is in marketing or in accounting. You will not be restrict in a single field and will have good chance to grow more then the people who will have majors in single subject.

How to become an international psychologist?

We Answered:

There really isn't such a thing as an "international" psychologist, and most countries in which therapy is common have their own psychologists.

You'd really need to earn a PhD in clinical psychology -- that would take 5-8 years after completing a bachelor's degree -- and then, to begin practicing, meet whatever state licensing and exam qualifications existed. (You could become a therapist with just a master's and a counseling license, but for real credibility, you'd need the doctorate.) At the same time, if you wanted to work overseas, you'd need to immerse yourself in the culture and language of the country that interested you and acquire some expertise. The problem is that an American psychologist wouldn't necessarily be attuned to the unique cultural needs and problems of overseas groups: that is something anthropologists study. Non-profits wouldn't really be hiring American psychologists with the idea that they would treat patients. They need doctors, nurses, public health specialists, people trained in business to manage funding and development, and so forth.

But you could consider studying both psychology and anthropology perhaps doing degrees in both fields and then doing academic research overseas. (Maybe a degree in Anthropology, a Master's in psychology and a doctorate in Anthropology.) The problem would be convincing, say, an aid organization that you had skills they needed so they might hire you for a job.

If given a chance, which of these course would you take in the Philippines?

We Answered:

At 53, I am not really looking to enrol in any college course.

However, if you need advice on what course to take, then I would suggest you take up BS Med Tech

It is an in-demand occupation, and you may even want to proceed to taking up medicine, and all of your units will be credited.
