I wanna Be a Pharmacist. Please help guide me?
Okay now I know there are other similar questions on here but not what i'm looking for. I'm 17 years old and a Junior in High School. I have a Accum GPA of 3.7 and Take mostly honors/ Post-Secondary classes. I am your typical high school student, football, basketball, baseball, and some clubs and NHS. I wanna know, what does a kid like me do to become a pharmacist? It has always been my dream and I always research ways to better myself. I live in Parma, Ohio and I am considering attending Toledo, OSU, Kent or Akron (Kent & Akron dont have Pre-Pharm but a medical school that runs off of it after 4 years) So what should I do? I have talked to teachers and others and I want more opinions. I already planned my visits to these colleges, I am taking my ACT in 2 weeks. I work at Giant Eagle, Should I talk to the pharmacy there? See if i can volunteer? I dont know. Just please give me all the help possible. Anything will help, thanks.

Well I work at Giant Eagle too... I will speak about the Utoledo program....you will start out pre-pharm and take two years of undergraduate classes. These entail your gen chem, organic chem, bio's and physics as well as calc 1 and 2 as well as anatomy/phys. You will then apply for the "professional division" and if accepted (must maintain very high grades) you will start as a first year professional pharmacy student and continue for four years until graduation as a PharmD where you will be able to work as a pharmacist. UFindlay has a program that is also 6 years and you are guarenteed a spot when you get in after HS. Kent/Akron go through NEOUCOM and require you to apply similar to Utoledo. It is important to say that for all three of them if you dont get in after your second year you can apply again. OSU requires you to graduate and then apply to the pharm school as a graduate program and so takes 8 years similar to a medical school. Just to let you know i am starting med school but i can answer most questions related to pharmacy as i work there now.

There are 2 options: BS in Pharmacy - cannot prescribe medication to patients. Doctor of Pharmacy - can prescribe medication to patients. Most students will go the pre-pharmacy route in college, get some volunteer or work experience and then apply to the Doctorate program. A BS in Pharmacy is not required. Any major is acceptable so long as you take the pre-pharmacy list of courses. I know a Pharm.D. grad who has a business degree but took the pre-pharm courses to qualify. info: http://www.pharmacy.purdue.edu/academics/prepharm/curriculum.php good luck!

About I am 18 years old and a College Student, Can I receive food stamps

I am 18 years old and a College Student, Can I receive food stamps?
To clarify, I am an Ohio resident. I am 18 years old and I recently graduated High School (2010). I turned 18 before I graduated High School. Yesterday my mother (whom I am a dependent too) and I had an appointment with the Department of Job and Family Services. The took away my TANF benefit of 259. Took all my food stamps. But left me with my Health Insurance as I'm enrolled in the University of Toledo. What benefits can I get? If I am my mothers dependent aren't I recognized for food stamps? How can they take my food stamps away before allowing me to secure Federal Work Study? Is this legal? I have so many questions but the Department of Job and Family Services in Lucas County won't answer my questions. How are my mother and myself suppose to survive and eat together? She will be given a hundred and something in food stamps. How can this feed two people?

if you're a dependant, she needs to get you relisted as one and her food stamps should increase considerably. There's other things you should be able to apply for such as pell grants. They're not alot, but every little bit helps.
2 :
You should be able to. Tell DHS that you are 18 now and you want to apply for food stamps for yourself. Tell them that you and your mother eat separetly. DO NOT tell them you are a college student, or you will not be eligible. I do not understand why they wont answer your questions that seems strange to me. Another thing that you could do is call up some local chuches that may have food pantrys, it really has helped me out alot. Alot of churches also have donated funds to help out poor people who can not afford to pay thier bills. This has also helped me when I was in need of assistance. Also since you are enrolled in college you should be eligible for finacial aid. About have way into the semester you will get your refund check that should help also a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!
3 :
College students are generally not entitled to food stamps or cash assistance. Once you are 18 and have graduated from HS,you are no longer a dependent and are removed from the family benefits. You are now an adult and are responsible for yourself. Time to get a job.

For the last few months I have been trying to start a healthier lifestyle. I'm 5'6 and 130 pounds which to some might seem ideal, but I am very unhealthy. I have high cholesterol, digestive problems, am tired all the time etc. I have been doing ok with the eating, but can not seem to find time to exercise. I work 6 days a week 10-12 hours a week ( I am a marketing professional for a private country club and the members and club are my life, which I love and wouldn't consider leaving).

I live in Toledo, OH so it is winter here, meaning I can't get out as much. Please help I feel unmotivated and uneducated!

I have adhd, my doctor for the past 8 years went out of the country for the year. He gave me three referrals (all he felt comfortable with, even though i asked for more). The ones he gave me were ungodly expensive ranging from 400-600 dollars an hour. I am in grad school which equalls broke. I take adderall currently and it does an alright job. However I have about a weeks work from the final script he gave me. I desperately need to find a doctor that will listen and respectful. I live in toledo ohio but am willing to travel for an affordable, reasonable doctor (I would prefer family doctor-I don't have one, because they are cheaper than psychiatrists. So if you live anywhere in Toledo, Southern Michigan, or other closer cities in Ohio and have any names, ideas, or anything at all on either family doctors or psychiatrists, please let me know!

About Muslims mainly sisters: question about job

About Muslims mainly sisters: question about job

Muslims mainly sisters: question about job?
Assalaam Alaykum ha rahamtu Allah. Okay so I'm in college. Today I got my 4th semester enrollment form and I owe quite a bit of money and I only have so much money in my account. Anyway I'm looking for a job to pay all my bills ($100.00 a month for food, $23.99 a month for phone, $9.95 a month for internet, and $81.23 a month for school). My husband is back home trying to get a job. He has a job but the company hasn't told him when he is going to start. But the town I live in is anti-Muslim, as are the other 6 towns near my mother's. We have Muslims to the south, Muslims in the central part of the state, and obviously Muslims in Cleavland and Toledo. My grandmother and mother are convinced if I do not get a job, that it is my fault because I wear hijab and am Muslim. So I know my chances of getting a job are small without facing discrimination, I do not drive by the way so I cannot drive to a job. I'd be living with my mother on the days I work. My grandmother and mother wre talking (I do not know what exactly about me as I was in my room) but my grandmother said to my mother that I would need "appropriate" clothes in order to work. I know hijab is an obligation and I do not want to remove my hijab just to get a job to pay my school tuition and my other bills. I am wondering if it is haraam to remove hijab when you know you will not get hired anywhere if you wear it because everyone around you is anti-Muslim. I won't be able to prove discrimination either, as I'm the only Muslim that I know of in 7 towns (4 towns near my mother plus the small village she lives in, not counting the town my grandmother lives in and the town close to her). I'm basically prepared to deal with blatant discrimination for being Muslim and a hijabi (I'm an American white Muslimah not that it matters when you live in such a biased area) and am prepared to not be allowed to pray while at work.

I live pretty close to your area and I am a hijabi and I think you should apply for jobs, and if they call you come to interview wearing a hijab dont take it off for people. if you need help finding a job I can help you, may Allah protect u, help u, and keep u safe from harm InshaAllah Ameen. masalama

I would not sacrifice my Deen for the life of this world becuase I've got faith in Allah(SWT) Do not give up so easily I live 1 state next to you and people are anti-muslim here too. Do not give up on finding work. I would suggest you pray Istikharah for guidance from Allah (SWT) and be vigilant about your prayers. Your prayers are your safeguard from Shaytan and the haraam things and they are one of the things which seperate muslims from the nonmuslims. Please I urge you not to remove your hijaab and persevere for the sake of your Deen. If you need help finding work why not check out a temp agency?
5 :
Well, if you are 100% sure you cannot find a job with hijab then it becomes a matter of necessity and *maybe* you could remove hijab (still dress modestly) until you have enough money to pay for your living. However, I think you should try harder and not write yourself off as hopeless. I'm sure there is at least one place that will hire you. Moreover, why isn't your husband providing anything? It is his duty to pay for basic necessities. And you should learn to drive ASAP!!! Good luck. Sala'am
6 :
Salam alykum, I know how your situation is I had went through the same thing looking for jobs and being discriminated from jobs, but all you can do is stand your ground, as long as your a good worker and have a positive attitude and carry yourself well then people will look beyond the hijab! show them how Muslimsa re supposed to be. I would not remove the hijab I don't think that there is any acception to remove it in any situation. The town I lived in I was literally the only Muslim and I got hired at a couple of places I even got hired in at Victoria's secret and I was wearing abaya when I applied and worked there 3 years wearinglong black skirt and lose blazer jacket and hijab! . Insha'allah you will find something and Allah will reward you in the end.

About Why does Obama want to destroy small business

Why does Obama want to destroy small business?
Obama after he was caught on video telling an Ohio plumber that he intends to take the profits of small-business owners and "spread the wealth around" to those with lesser incomes. The fracas over Obama's tax plan broke out Sunday outside Toledo when Joe Wurzelbacher approached the candidate. Wurzelbacher said he planned to become the owner of a small plumbing business that will take in more than the $250,000 amount at which Obama plans to begin raising tax rates. "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the blue-collar worker asked. After Obama responded that it would, Wurzelbacher continued: "I've worked hard . . . I work 10 to 12 hours a day and I'm buying this company and I'm going to continue working that way. I'm getting taxed more and more while fulfilling the American Dream." Forget spread the wealth, how about kill the poor.

The GOP have ruined the US economy. They started with a budget surplus, and now look at us! The Bush/McCain/GOP war in Iraq has cost us $3 trillion!! (that's $10,000 PER PERSON!) It has not found WMD or bin Laden, cost 4,000+ US lives, and had no valid justification in the first place. And since the US Treasury didn't have that kind of money sitting around, the GOP "Charged it!". They added it to the US federal deficit! It is ironic that Republicans criticize Democrats as tax-and-spend liberals, yet this Republican administration has done more to increase the US' federal deficit than any other administration in history (they are the "New Democrats"!). Since we didn't have $3 trillion for their war, and billions for the Bush tax stimulus, the GOP simply "charged it!". They got out the card, and put it on the tab! The US now owes $10 TRILLION (or $30,000 per person) thanks to the GOP; do they think our debtors (mostly China) are going to forgive that? My kids and their kids and their grandkids will be paying that back for decades! When the GOP ask for the charge card in November, just say "No!". How can the American people continue to be duped by the GOP's ruse that "we don't raise your taxes", when INSTEAD they increase the federal deficit to such incredible levels, and hope no one will notice?

Do you not know that is how taxes have always been??? The more the make, the higher your rate goes...called tax brackets...look into it.

I'm confused. The plumber (who is probably already rich and greedy) will be poor when he takes over this business? By the way, a blue-collar worker is an industrial laborer, not an independent business owner, even if such a person gets his hands dirty.

You are correct! Barack Hussein Obama is implementing Communist Karl Marx's agenda of Wealth Redistribution. That should be illegal and he should be subject to arrest!

ALSO PLEASE READ THIS, EVERYONE (IMPORTANT): http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1097352/existing_and_aspiring_small_business.html?cat=75 (Title): "Existing and Aspiring Small Business Owners: Are You Ready for Obama to Drive You Out of Business?"
8 :
Well how much of an increase will it be and what aspects of his business will get taxed? Those are questions that are unanswered by your comment. People are too smart to be thrown by the whole "raise taxes" bit. The fact of the matter is that the US has been borrowing money like crazy to finance two wars and has neglected the infrastructure needs and future obligations it owes to the American people. Something has to change or else the country will go bankrupt. The low tax rates of the past administration have been bankrolled by unprecedented foreign debt. John McCain says he will stop spending - of course not in Iraq or in the Defense Department or to giant agri-businesses who claim to be "farmers". So no Obama does not want to destroy small businesses.
9 :
I don't think you understand that this is income tax we're talking about here. An individual person's income, not a business' net or gross income. If a small, unincorporated, sole proprietorship, after paying all expenses and all employees, purchasing new inventory, etc., has over $0.25M left over, and the owner wants to pay himself that, well he fills out a special income tax form and pays taxes on his income just like everyone else. Now if an unincorporated sole proprietor has a quarter million dollars a year after running his business, I would say he's doing pretty frickin' well. If he wants to use that money to hire more employees or otherwise expand his business, he is free to do so, and HE WON'T GET TAXED ON IT because it will not be part of his personal income - it will be a business expense. So it will not affect the person's ability to grow their business AT ALL! Bring on the thumbs down from the people who don't care about the truth and rationality.
10 :
Well, if the poor are making more than $250,000 then I guess the Obama tax plan would about kill them, I mean they would have to pay an addition 5% or so in taxes, I am sure that would do them in.
11 :
Looks like you are a bit misinformed. His plan does not increase tax on small businesses taking in $250,000. His plan increases taxes increases taxes only on small businesses with over $250,000 profit, so it looks like your little scenario is a fabrication. BTW the $250,000 threshold will exclude 98% of small businesses and the 3% increase would amount to $7,500 not enough to trigger the massive lay offs suggested by the Republican line of thinking.

How can I get a finance analyst job out of state?
Hi, I am soon going to be graduating from the University of Toledo with an Honors degree in Finance. My GPA is currently a 3.5. I would like to become a financial analyst, but definitely not in Toledo! How should I go about moving to New York (a primary market) or somewhere on the east coast when they know nothing really of my school? Also, it is obviously difficult to up and move to an area and not being able to find a job. I realize that New York is going to be extremely competitive and full of Ivy league students. I could do my MBA right out of college, but would prefer to get work experience and go to a top school like Dartmouth or Cornell. Am I stuck working at home as an analyst for a few years, getting my MBA, then trying to move? Thanks! P.S. any other tips as far as analysts and IBanking that you have would be helpful.

I grew up in Bklyn, went to undergrad in NY, got a job in NYC went back to get my MBA (top program) in NY, went through a couple more jobs and then decided to move to Boston - smaller city and more manageable but still fun and very smart. You have a rough road my friend. You need to consider the current market and talent pool that places like NYC have. Market is tough and you'll be competing with others who have either experience or a better education (or more likely probably both) - don't mean to be rough on you, just playing it straight. In my opinion, this should be your plan: Stay in Toledo and get a job with the best company you can (most well known). Think banking. Hopefully getting a financial analyst position. Stay for about 3-5 yrs progressing into senior analyst or something. All the while keeping your eye on the prize. Stay sharp, read the Wall Street Journal and study for the GMAT. You have time so nothing too intense but use the time for practice tests and to really absorb the concepts and information. If you do well on the GMAT and have 3 yrs of experience, with a 3.5 GPA, you should be an OK candidate for some good schools. You can google top MBA programs and see the average GMAT scores - can you match them? Or get higher? You may need a higher GMAT to balance you with other candidates that have stronger credentials in other areas. Which schools to apply to? THe one's in NYC or the ones from NYC that recruit at the schools (you can find out what companies recruit there if you contact the program and ask, or on their websites). I don't have a high opinion of Cornell, they are OK but are far from NYC (they are in Ithaca NY). Think NYU, Wharton (In PA but NY companies recruit there alot), Columbia, etc. Check the top 10 or 20 MBA programs because that is where the companies recruit from most. Boston of course has some top programs too (Harvard, MIT, etc.) Alternatively, after 3 years or so, you will have experience and can apply to some places in NYC. Hopefully, the market will be better after 3 years and your experience will help your candidacy. You'll have to take a step back though because NY has a higher cost of living and meeting your expenses will be rough so staying in Toledo will be attractive. Most important thing for you now I think is to get some experience at a well known company and make sure to do your best on the GMAT's. THat will help you get into a better MBA program than you could now. Best of luck.

It is difficult for someone to advance in the ranks to homicide like you want to. Most have a requirement for having someone start as a "common" police officer and rise in rank from there. If you wanted instead of working homicide cases and wanted to work homicide labs (such as fingerprinting, blood / etc. samples), that would be different. You would be pretty much confined to a lab with officers taking samples to you and you having to break it all down for them and tell them the facts of the case and the results of your work. If you are thinking of the armed forces, that would be a good bridge to a police officer job, just make sure you enroll as an MP (Military Police). This will not only give you background but also a head-start on your studies, and EXPERIENCE. That is what they're looking for. And since Military life is more restrictive than ordinary civilian life (having been in the military myself in the past), you will gain a great skill set that will help ANY career you wanted to enter in the future. I know you are cognizant of the years this would add on to when you would enter the civilian job market, but then again, it might be your dream job, and you might be able to advance and learn more than you could as a civilian. Hope this helps!
