Hello folks, I am a Taiwanese Canadian, and I have both Taiwanese and Canadian citizenship. I recently graduated from a Canadian university with a M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering and I have a Bachelor's degree in Physical Sciences and Mathematics also from a Canadian university. I have been trying to get an entry level position in the related field, but so far I haven't been quite successful. Most companies here in Alberta, Canada are looking for people with experience. As a fresh new grad, this is something I don't have. However, I noticed that there are actually quite a bit of entry level positions available in the U.S. My friends and relatives have suggested that I apply for those positions in the US. But I have no idea if I am eligible to work in the US. I kinda feel that if I am a senior engineer with 10 years of experience, then maybe they will want me, but I am a fresh new grad with no industrial experience, will they allow me to go to the states and work? My other option is go back to Taiwan. In fact, I have got 10~20 interview invitations, but the thing is if I do go to Taiwan and work there, I will have to fulfill my conscription duty first before I can start working. I don't mind going into the military and fulfill my duty, but this is not something I want to do at the current stage of my life. I would really want to start working and gaining some hands-on experience. I am already 27, I am quite old for someone who still hasn't had any industrial experience. So if I spend a year in the military, I will be almost 29 before I start looking for work. Please advise, thanks!

I am 26 yrs old with a BS degree in psychology. I am now halfway through an associates program for my RN, am very stressed out and have doubts about this career path. I know many disillusioned RN's. I want a pleasant but fulfilling career in which I can make decent money. Any suggestions?? Without going on for an advanced degree and/or a 'supplemental' degree.

I'm totally confused. I'm thinking of taking a BS for psychology later in uni but there are so many mixed comments about majoring in psychology. Some people say it's very demanded, others say it's useless. I even looked into yahoo answers to see what people think. These answers were mostly from 3-4 years ago and they said that psych majors are useless, but could it have changed in today's society? I want to take a psych major in order to get into marketing. Or maybe a major in marketing itself, but I'm considering psych because it gives more job offers (its broader than marketing major). Now I'm doubting myself. I want to know if i can make a living out of a BS with at least 4000 dollars a month. So should i take a major in psych, or marketing, or maybe even business (i don't really want to take business because so many people take it)? If the view on psych degrees have changed in today's economy, please elaborate, i need some motivation and assurance based on facts, not opinions. Edit: Of course marketing involves marketing. You want to know how a person thinks, how the society thinks, in order to sell your product. I guess i wanted to go into psychology because its more in depth about the human mind, so it will look more attractive in my resume. Well, what's the average salary for those into the marketing department? Is it relatively high or low compared to other jobs? And is it a worthy major? Thanks. Edit again: Sorry,i said "of course marketing involves marketing", which didn't make sense at all. I meant marketing involves psychology.

Hi Guys, Need some advice. I completed my BSc in Geology in 2004. However, I did not pursue a career in geology and instead, took up a job in communications and PR. I have been working for over 8 years now and am not quite satisfied with the prospects of this career. This brings me to the question. Is it advisable to pursue a career in Geology(Petroleum) today? Is there a demand for Geologists in the market? I am willing to do a MSc in Geology if it is necessary, but just need to gauge the prospects before i make the decision. Really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance. HA

I want to major in a field that I enjoy. This has to give me the opportunity to go to the most beatiful naturally beatiful places in the world. I don't mean flashy places with big buildings. I mean beatiful skies, nice weather, small population. I would also like a nice college near the area and a very low crime rate? Can anyone help? About the major though, I need one that allows me to do hands on work and work outdoors in beautiful places.
