need to go to college

Experience is great, but it won’t get you a job. You need a degree in Social Work. Bachelor’s would be psychology or related field, with an MS in Social Work. There are assorted accelerated frum programs to choose from.

I applaud your maturity.

I wish you hatzlocha with your career plans.

Hashem Yaazor means those who are willing to help themselves.

Something to think about (from a former substance abuse counselor) if you can do substance abuse with the frum olam, it will be one thing, but if you are forced to work with the public at large, your clients will likely be people you would never want to come in contact with.

“it” is a typo that should have read “is”. “eat” was a typo that I intended to delete before submitting. “excersize” is a misspelling that you surely understood the meaning of. Replace the commas with semicolons if that makes it easier to read. And note that it is a reply to the comment immediately preceding it, namely the posters point about “because everyone else is”.

Thank you. Now I understand. Following is your original, with translation into English. Please note the correct forms of verbs and the correct punctuation.

There’s nothing wrong to sit and learn because everyone else is, there’s nothing wrong to work because everyone else it, and there’s nothing wrong to eat excersize because everyone else is.

There’s nothing wrong with sitting and learning “because everyone else is.” There’s nothing wrong with working “because everyone else is.” And there’s nothing wrong with exercising “because everyone else is.”

Haifa girl; you’re unfortunately not all that proficient at punctuation. If you really enjoy it and want to learn how to punctuate correctly I would suggest the book ‘Eats, Shoots, and Leaves’. It may help you hone your skills.

Please point out my mistakes. I’m always happy to learn. And by the way, I use the American standard of punctuation (period inside the quotation mark), not the British version. I suggest you reread the book as she does mention American standards differ from those in the U.K.

And what’s with the semicolon after my name?

MW13: “Call me an extremist, but somehow I think Hashem will also help those who give up helping themselves for learning Hashem’s Torah. “

According to that logic, one really does not need to give Tzedaka or feel bad for Kollel people because as you pointed out “Hashem will help them”. Unless I am g-d, the achroyos is not mine. Sure, it’s nice, etc, but now I can sleep at night knowing that the responsibility of paying rabbayim is not mine.

If you are serious about a job, look into going to college. When you apply for jobs, you usually submit a resume and/or fill out an application. You want your resume/application to stand out from the crowd; you want it to put you ahead of the pack.

With the way the economy is now, there are many more people looking for jobs than there are jobs available. Since the people hiring now have the upper hand and can pick the very cream of the crop, why would they select someone without a degree for a counselor position when they will most likely have many applicants with degrees? In this case, not having a degree puts you behind the pack.

kylbdnr, was that accelerated degree program accredited by the state or some college accreditation board?

“According to that logic, one really does not need to give Tzedaka or feel bad for Kollel people because as you pointed out “Hashem will help them”.”

Are you serious? We say Hashem will help the poor – does this mean that we never give any tzeddakah?! According to your logic, we should never have to help anybody – after all, doesn’t Hashem help everyone?

But obviously despite the fact that Hashem is indeed the One who is truly helping everybody, He wants us to help others too.

anon1m0us: You forgot to use your sarcasm font. mw13 took you seriously. Watch that next time. 😉

A degree automatically bumps up your pay

Haifagirl: The period only comes inside the quotation marks when the entire or main body of the sentence is a quote. In his case, where he put a book title in quotes (the proper thing would have been to italicize but maybe he didn’t know how to do that on this forum-I certainly don’t), he properly ended with the period outside the quotation marks. I hope this helps. 🙂
