If you really want to shoot for the top, then Eckard college close to St. Petersburg Florida is the best of the best. It is a marine university and a literary masterpiece on the Gulf Coast

Why is my dad a ********?

We Answered:

i think that his behaviour is showing some signs of depression...i think you should cope with the situation and be supportive...YOU can make the situation better. dont leave home cz its too early (yes 19 is too early...you should finish college first) and you should stay for your moms sake if not for your dad. everyone says things when there angry... if you love your mom then youd stay and help her cope with the situation aswell cz maybe shes not as emotionally strong as you.

Teaching in Alaska?

We Answered:

I taught in the Bush, in Deering, a village up near the Arctic Circle. Deering has about 150 people, and no roads in or out.

I kind of liked teaching there. In most schools, teachers have 5 classes of about 30 students each. How can you get to know 150 students? In Deering I had all the middle school and high school students, a total of about 24. (The number fluctuated a bit, as some students move between relatives and between villages.)

After growing up in NYC, it was kind of nice to live in a small village where everyone knows everyone and you can walk anywhere in 15 minutes. Things are less formal, and it is considered OK to just drop in on people.

There were some problems too. My heater broke in -25 degrees and it was several days before anyone could fix it. The electricity would shut down regularly and the heaters need electricity to run. The food choices at the one store are pretty limited. The sewer system was broken for a while, and the village ran out of water for a few weeks.

They don't pay off student loans. They have a moving allowance, which is less that the cost of the plane ticket to get there.

I have heard alot of rumors about moving to Alaska, are any of them true?

We Answered:

Never heard of the student loan stuff, but the other, yeah, that was true, to a point. Depending how the state was doing. The money was from the oil revenues. I left Alaska twenty years ago, and when my family and I lived there, as residents, each of us would collect between $1000-2000 per person a year. But like I said, that was twenty years ago. Don't know if they are still doing it, and if so, don't know if the money is the same. But I would hate to see them pay the oil money out to people who went up to Alaska, JUST for that.
