Finding a Career in Golf

I have a friend that grew up playing golf.  He was a member of the high school golf team and even played in college.  My friend is a fantastic player, but not quite good enough to be on the PGA Tour.  I used to think that all of his work in golf would ruin the rest of his life if he did not make it as a pro golfer.  Fortunately, my friend was able to find a golf career that was both lucrative and allowed him to continue his passion.

My friend looked into several options before finding the right job for him.  He finally decided to teach golf.  When he told me that he was going to teach golf, I thought, “well that is nice, but can you really make money at that?”  Of course, I didn’t realize that he got a job as a club pro at a local course.  He makes as much money playing a game as some of my friend do that have master’s degrees.

He also told me that he was thinking of attending a golf college in order to maybe work his way toward a degree in golf course management.  He already has a degree from his college years, but he says that this training will be specialized in what he needs to learn.

I’m glad that my friend found some options for his life.  I am a little jealous that he gets paid to play a game all day.

My Daughter is Going to be a Therapist

CBR001046After 2 years at college, my daughter has finally figured out what she wants to do with her life. She came home today, and announced it to the family. She wants to pursue a family therapy degree! Needless to say, this is a long way off from her initial college plan 2 years ago—to get a business administration degree. But what college student doesn’t switch their major a few times?

I have to say, I’m so happy and proud of her. She’s been working really hard over the past couple years, and she finally seems to have found her calling. And this seems like the perfect field for her. She’s always been that person that all her friends go to when they need to talk. She has a big heart, and just loves to help others.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Jane is going to make a great therapist. And I’m glad to know that she’s entering a field she’s passionate about. After all, that’s what it’s really all about. Doing what you love for a living.

So, do you know anybody who went to school to study family therapy? I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice!

Giving Back Is Fun

At the culinary school I attend, in order for students to get their culinary arts degrees, they must volunteer at charity kitchens during at least one holiday per year.

Since I’m Jewish, I typically choose Christmas, since everybody else is busy with their families, and there is plenty of time afterward to travel for New Years.  I always pity the people who have to do their volunteering for Easter because it usually falls at the beginning of Spring Break.  I also got stuck with Thanksgiving once, and it was not a pleasant experience.

By that, I mean charity is charity and it’s great.  Don’t judge me.

I digress.  Cooking for the kitchens is quite a bit different from what we learn in our studies.  It’s not a culinary arts challenge to make the best dish so much as it is an endurance test of how much cooking you can handle.

In the case of my Thanksgiving experience it was an endurance test of how much giblet removing, turkey carving and potato mashing one man can take.  Honestly, I don’t even like performing the whole process once on a game hen, let alone on 10+ giant turkeys.  I don’t know if I was just unlucky, but I thought they just bought turkey breasts and baked and served them.

College Students: Find Out About Financial Aid

Do you know how you will pay for college?

Do you know how you will pay for college?

If you are planning on going to college, but keep putting it off because you are so overwhelmed by the cost of college tuition rates, you owe it to yourself to find out more about what financial aid is available to you.

Usually, colleges have financial aid departments that can offer college planning services.  The financial aid department can assist you in getting government aid, such as grants and loans.  In addition, they usually can advise you on scholarships and other sources of financial aid that you might qualify for.

A college’s financial aid department is great for these basic types of things.  However, when it comes down to the nitty gritty details, such as how to save money on college tuition and taxes, you will be better off seeking help from a certified college planner.  That’s where the real benefits lie.

Dealing with these details may seem like a headache, but the fact of the matter is, most students can’t afford to just pay full price for college anymore.  In other words, if you are going to be able to afford to get your degree, you need to worry about details that could save you money.  Fortunately, there are plenty of people who can help you so that it isn’t such a headache.
