It's a pretty broad field (I study the function of a single protein, but other people in my program study much broader topics like Schizophrenia or sex behavior). It would give you a lot of flexibility as far as working with human subjects, brain imaging, or using animal models of disease and it gets a lot more into the biology side of things that Psychology. The degree is also specifically targeted towards research training and most programs are run through medical schools so you can learn about drug interaction if you want. If you were to go to medical school, you would have a bit of an advantage if you wanted to do exclusively human subjects research, but you would also have to go through the full program, including clinical rotations instead of being able to focus on Neurology or Psychiatry and research.

]]> Comment on Who has a special education degree? by annmail53 http://www.onlinedegreesdirect.com/89/degree/who-has-a-special-education-degree/comment-page-1/#comment-179 annmail53 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:32:35 +0000 http://www.onlinedegreesdirect.com/89/degree/who-has-a-special-education-degree/#comment-179 The normal route to a special education career is first getting a liberal arts degree from an accredited college or university. Then you go on to get a teachering degree with an emphsis in special education. There is a moderate/severe focus or a mild/moderate focus. To receive a degree in special education, you have to go to school for an additional 11/2 years-2 years with interships and certain tests that vary from state to state. Another way to go is the path I took. I have a degree in social welfare. I stoppped working while raising my kids. I got part-time work as an assistant in a special education class. I decided to go back for my teaching degree in special education. In lieu of going back to my college and starting from stratch, I took a very difficult test called the MSAT. It was a general education test. I had to know a little about math, Shakespeare sonnets, and Japanese history,etc. Only about 60% of the people taking the test passed. It has nothing to do with your gift or ability to teach special ed students. They have changed the test to the CSAT I believe which is suppose to be somewhat easier. After I passed the MSAT, I enrolled in National Univrsity, (San Diego) for all the special ed classes I needed to become a special ed teacher. I have been teaching special education in schools for years and love it. Because of a foot problem, I only work as a substitute teacher so I teach all ages and types of children with special needs.The occupation is, however, not for everyone. You should visit a class or talk to someone who is a special ed teacher first. Learn all you can about it. I got my credential through the state of California. Tests and requirements may vary from state to state. Good luck!! The normal route to a special education career is first getting a liberal arts degree from an accredited college or university.

It's like watching teacher's in an Olympic event. Instead of synchronized teaching, it's Goofus and Gallant side by side. Wish my teacher training had been this fun and insightful.

Republicans would prefer that less people were educated so that 1/10th of 1 percent could control 99% of the country's wealth. Instead of the 1% that controls it now.
