Just Starting Out

[smf6824]

Sweetcrabhoney, While there are occasional times on this forum where some folks might want to take cover under their desktops, it's rare. Mostly you'll find that folks will question you a lot in the beginning. Why? Because we want to learn more about you. Also because we've made mistakes, and we hope to help you avoid them. These mistakes not only cost time and money, but can dishearten a person to the point where s/he throws in the educational towel. Like doctors, we poke and prod to help, although I can see how it might be uncomfortable. Why you want to do something, or do it a certain way is helpful for us to learn because sometimes the "why" of something may lead to a better "how." Well, at least a "how" that you might have not known about, or considered. One of the glories of this forum is that all of these experiences are here for your benefit, and folks just want to help you.

I am coming to the end of my almost 40-year undergraduate degree pursuit, and I can tell you, without any fear of of being overly dramatic, that I absolutely could not have done it without the knowledge and support of this forum. I hope that you can soon point to a degree that helps you reach your post-graduate goals, and say the same thing.

I love the doctor analogy. It is true we just want to give the best advice so we inquire with you further. Sorry if you feel that you are being picked on, we just want to help you. The more info we have the more we can help. Remember no matter what you will need general studies so pick a few tests that fit into that spectrum like English composition and start there.
