We've been out together two times now - nothing very binding yet but I hope (and I think she does, too) that something will come out of it eventually. She is turning 18 on december the 6th (yep,…Continue

Michael L replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"If you can manage it, take a class in the desired field at your university. You could do it cheap and take one over the summer at your local community college if you wish. Now, that is a double edged sword since if you have a horrible professor you…"
Conor replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"Major in economics w/ marketing electives
economics is a business minded degree and undergrads with a major in economics as a whole record the second highest LSAT scores than any other major. the first being philosophy. ECONOMICS with…"
Rick Shelton replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"Internships, volunteering, part time jobs. Networking is another good start. Your father is in business and most likely knows other business people ask him to introduce you to someone in the field that you're interested in learning about. After…"
Joseph replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"Maybe you end up with a specialty in advertising law.
I think as long as it's not McDonalds, almost any summer job can be good experience. Even that...at least you'll know how horrible it is working for a corporation like that on…"
Nathanael replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"As long as you know what you're getting into, go for it. I've just seen many folks your age who want to be lawyers while largely getting their idea of what that entails from TV and Hollywood. Hence my comment."
Red Garland replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"Thing is, my mom is a renowned lawyer and so I got a lot of knowledge about the career from her. Watching her work, often visiting her at work etcetera. I sort of know what I'm getting into and it's a legitimate plan A - as in, I…"
Nathanael replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"I wonder if you're asking this about the wrong field. How much have you looked into law--what it's really like, not what TV says it's like? Have you talked to many lawyers about their work? What about young lawyers…"
Rob replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"
Good question. Most people end up in their professions almost accidentally. This is often true even of people who become masters of their professions.
I can give you a little more specific information about advertising, and specifically,…"
Red Garland replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"Law is definitely the plan A. As for advertising, I only want to get some basic, entry-level, 101-kind of education in it. Just enough to see what it's about and use it to help out my dad. If I find that I enjoy it and am good at it, I might…"
John Wallen replied to Red Garland's discussion How do you get "into" a certain field?"Okay, several questions first. Are you wanting to prepare for the law field or advertising? I'm not very clear as to which way your trying to sway. Also, have you ever had a job before? By the time I started school I already had been involved…"
Red Garland posted a discussionHow do you get "into" a certain field?
I'm in my senior year in high school right now and I figured I should start taking certain steps to ease my entrance into the adult world. My idea for higher education is pretty much a done deal, I'm preparing for a law school. But aside from that, I also want to use the time I have right now to try different things and see what I'm good at, what are my strengths.My father runs a jewelery store and I've decided to take up advertising the place. I have no experience in the field whatsoever and…See More
Will replied to Red Garland's discussion A girl I like is turning 18 on December 6th - what should I get her?"Something trivial and cute: a Buddhist figurine, a knickknack, a flower you picked. By advice from my female friends, NOT jewelry: jewelry means you're serious."
Rebekah replied to Red Garland's discussion A girl I like is turning 18 on December 6th - what should I get her?"A big thing because she can now legally buy alcohol? I find gifts of bottles of alcohol to those newly of drinking age to be a cliched and wasted gesture. Unless the recipient has had exposure to lots of kinds of alcohol already, the chance the…"
"What the other two said, give her your time and good memories."
Daniel T. replied to Red Garland's discussion A girl I like is turning 18 on December 6th - what should I get her?"A fun night out, dinner, and if all goes well a nice kiss."

Remembering Dad
This is a group for men who have lost their fathers. It is a place to mourn, celebrate, and remember our fathers and a place for men to share experiences and draw strength from one another.See More

Chuck Barnett added a discussion to the group Remembering DadMissing my best friend
My father passed away on Memorial Day this year. The entire family was at his house for one of his traditional cookouts by the pool. There was always plenty of food, drinks, laughter, and memories at his cookouts. This day was no different with one major exception, dad wasn't feeling that well and didn't even get out of bed until mid morning. As I am the oldest son, I was always the one groomed to step up and take over if dad was ever unavailable (which was rare). I got to their house…See More
