NEW SECTION….One of the major early-on decisions for every teenager is realistic planning for their future, and learning and structuring their education in appropriate direction. A lone wolf plan won’t work.
The teenage prospect must explore every possible aspect necessary to prepare for each and every requirement and step that leads them to fulfill qualifications, at above average standards. Each student must seek help and guidance from family, counselors, friends, and their teachers at school and in family religious programs.
Any teenager that aspires for a learned degree faces a huge hurdle!. Realism is necessary but not absolute. Major factors include Socio-economic aspects, innate ability, mental and physical stamina, perseverance, and application and aptitude for the task. Some shortcoming can be overcome.
The Learned degrees historically include three areas: J.D, MD, and Theology. There may be recognizable areas developed over past fifty years, involving Physics, to include Space Sciences, Communications (Internet), Forensics, and other specialized arenas.
The pathway to a Learned degree is huge, with little or no room for disruption or transgression. However, as the teenager grows, plans can change. If necessary, as the circumstances and motivations change, so can the directions change. With the best laid plans, change is more likely than not!. The bottom line is at least a bachelor degree in college.
For all of those that pursue a medical degree, when the point of interview with a prospective medical school arrives, the interviewer focuses strongly on the motivation and physical and mental aptitude, and economic capacity to complete the Doctoral Program. The applicant must also have well rounded civil and social attributes to satisfy the interview requirements for admission
There is inherent respect for the Learned degree in most civilizations. However, respect is not a ‘given ’, and to be sustained, must be earned!
After fifty years of military and civilian practice and experience at high levels, the ‘right’ to develop opinions is earned. Such opinions often are blended with science and experience. In the USA, everyone has the right to express their opinion, by law.
And, so, I am choosing social media, as the main forum to do so. For better or worse, please bear with me.
Merci beaucoup!
