Life is calling, how far will you go ? Pt. II?

klebdevil asked:


I didnt really finish my question on the first…So i went ahead and applied for the Peace Corps, i met with the recruiter and she nominated me for a position in Central America, she didnt say the country, i would be doing some type of Community Development project, i had been emailing a former Peace Corps volunteer who got stationed in Honduras, he was telling me basically that it wasn’t really about the work but more about the inter-cultural experience…so this kind of made me wonder if i should really go, i was born in South America, so i already kind of know the Latin culture, but there wasnt any other position at the time of my nomination for another part of the world, so was it God putting me in this region ? I received my medical papers, it’s ALOT ! i am not sure now, if i want to do peace corps or this other short term project with another non-profit organization, it’s teaching English in this small village in Brazil for 1 month, so now i am not sure which one to pick…

Best way to deal with convicted offenders? Probation? House arrest? Jail? Community service? Execution?

John Hightower asked:


Some people feel that sending someone to prison only puts them around hardened criminals where they learn to be really bad.

Prisons are not the best living conditions. Inmates are frequently sexually abused by other inmates.

Many inmates have mental conditions. Many inmates were sexually abused as children.

Does it make sense to spend all that money, and risk having someone escape, by giving them a life sentence? Or is it better for society to execute the inmate and spend the money that it would have taken to house & feed them, to pay for social services to prevent the development of additional criminals?

Some argue that for 1st time offenders, its better to take the money spent on putting them in prison - and instead put them to work on community projects where they can learn job skills and self-pride.

The US has the highest rate of putting its citizens in prison than any other country. Who wants to raise taxes to pay for more prisons & more guards?

Can you please check my English if it is good enough in this short paragraph?

inquisitive thinker asked:


————–
Based on the guidance the from program office, your project is included in the “development of community economy” component. When you see the indicators in that component, it is shown that not all indicators are appropriate for your project. This is different from AMARTA Project of which all of the project indicators are similar with the indicators in the Operational Plan

What approach should be taken to pursue a PhD related to urban planning or social/economic geography?

Donald C asked:


I have a Bachelors with a double major in Political Science and Urban Studies and a Master in Urban Planning with an emphasis on community development (social and economic aspects of urban planning). I got the masters in 1997. I have had no more formal university education in 10 years and I am in my mid-30s. I have been working in the affordable housing industry as a staff assistant, property manager and administrator.

I had always planned to pursue my education further and family and friends thought the same, but I got to eat and pay bills. I’ve always had a thirst for knowledge and research and finding out things for either the sake or learning or to apply it to something. I got my masters straight after getting my bachelors, so I had been in school 6 straight years after high school, so some associates joked about me not been in the real world. Now, after 10 years in the real world, I now have the ironic opposite problem of trying to find the best way to get back into “academic” shape. Heck, I’ve only been to the public library three times since getting my masters. I do have lots of practical continued education related to my job or keeping up with standard office software and do have a lot of books from my own library that I read, however.

These are some options I’m exploring:
(1) Take some classes at local state university and/or through distance education colleges to get study habits back and strenthen transcript (it is possible, though not necessarily an absolute goal that I could get second bachelors from this route from a college like Excelsior), then pursue PhD
(2) Pursue the MBA, then pursue PhD
(3) Pursue Masters Degree in another area such as economics or geography that complements my previous education on the political science and urban studies side, then pursue PhD

Back 10 years ago when I was still in grad school, the professor who was my advisor had suggested to me that I go to an MBA program. I had not thought about going to get an MBA before, but he saw that I had loaded up my urban planning coursework with electives in social statistics and economics (he knew I could have taken a lot easier courses). He wanted me to consider going to a place like Wharton. He felt that the combination of a masters in urban planning and an MBA would be a dynamic combination for someone interested in community development. I considered that, but like I said, I need to eat and since I came from very modest means (poor), I needed to work. I am was already in debt trouble, so I wasn’t interested in taking on more student loans and will not ever take out any more student loans (and I intend to self-finance any future education and/or pursue any available grants).

Now that I’ve been out for so long, not only am I academically rusty but I’ve also lost contacts with potential recommenders (a few of whom have since passed including my graduate advisor). So as I see it, at the minimum I need to take a few college courses just to make sure I still got the touch, as well as for the regular business of getting recommenders and strengthening my transcript.

I anticipate that the pursuit of the PhD in my situation will be a 8-12 year project. I’m now in my mid-thirties, so I would hope to have the PhD completed by the time I’m in my early to mid-forties. I expect to start my comeback with a course this Fall. For the next year or so, I expect to stay enrolled continuously either in a traditional course or distance education course.
