Ask an Educator...

lol fanticy novels. i read thru that site already, followed thier sugestions and hit a dead end. thanks for looking it up for me. basicly what i know now is that i dont know anything. i dont know what equipment i will need, where to get it, how to care for or use it. i dont know how much space i'll need for my birds home, i dont even know wich of the two classes of bird i want. so i dont know how to get what i dont know to feed it. i cant get a hold of my local chapter of the falconers assocation to get feed back on where to start learning what i dont know will be on the test i have to take, and i dont know how much that is, befor i can spend time with a mentor i dont know how to find and even get started with the birds.
i do know its a long envolved highly regulated sport. i do know that the closest relationship you can expect from your bird is respect. i do know that it will be more involving then haveing kids, just in the time and dedication needed to maintain it.

You are so far along already - I must believe there is a national or even international association that could help answer these questions. You must get the answers to these questions! Those are such amazing animals, they deserve someone who can appreciate them and care for them as you clearly do.

I changed my major three times in college. In the end I chose International Politics for two reasons (1) It was the class I enjoyed most, and (2) It was the class where I got grades that I felt most reflected my effort. I talked about it with all my professors.

Having a degree is only part of the work that should be done in college. Employers tell educators that they are looking to hire people with strong communication, interpersonal and problem solving skills. Given the troubles some grads are having finding work right now, what you are doing outside your degree that demonstrates mastery of these skills is probably very important - and I would imagine moderating would be a great example.

Excellent answer, specially the part about you taking a major in something you enjoy.

No it's not blue because of the reflection of the ocean. Seems you need a science lesson.


The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Well... I was going to say that it is blue do to the many gasses in the atmosphere. Your's works too, I guess.

I am currently a college student, however I have not yet decided on a major, any suggestions on how to choose one? Or tests that might help?

i would look at your best subjects, (i'm assuming youve been a student for atlast a year or two) look into what fields use those subjects. diside what amoungst them appels to you, then pick a major that will help you get there.
its how i ended up at tech school to be a pharm tech. loved that job

Sir.

I know we are not supposed to touch politics in here but this won't be about that EXACTLY...

In your studies of INT.POL., were the works of Samuel P. Huntington, and specifically "The Clash Of Civilisations", part of the course? And if so, how is it regarded, both by you and the academic community at large?


Also, can I use the rest-room? It's kind of urgent...



Thank you.

Candle, I know this may sound stupid, but almost everything I know about falconry came from a gentleman I met at a PetSmart once. He was there doing a little show-and-tell for the customers and probably trying to raise a few donations for a hawk reserve. He said that you have to apprentice to someone who is licensed to start on it. Maybe if you called the local DCNR office or something, you could get in contact with the right people to discuss an apprenticeship.

they wont take on an apprentice who hasnt taken the test. so i have to learn all about habitat and life cycles, dangers and equipment befor i even get that far. i realy do appreceat the answers that have been posted to my question so far. maybe what i need is some one to recomend a good book. i found a few on amazon.com and once i found a falconers suply store on google, but i dont remember how to get back there.

What does this equal? My roommate and another friend, who are both math majors, couldn't figure it out. Well, they did come up with an answer but it didn't make sense. Something like 2.85 cents, which we thought couldn't be right.
