So, when it came to decide what I wanted to do after high school, it seemed like a no-brainer: I was going to go into a culinary education program.  Even though deciding what to take was the easy part, it was going to be a challenge to decide where I wanted to get my education.

As it turns out, there are a number of cooking schools across our fine nation, but I really didn’t know which one I wanted to attend.  Unfortunately, I didn’t know anyone who was a chef, so I was going to have to do my own research as to what school I wanted to go to.

Thankfully there were many different sites that had reviews on the different schools, and I was able to figure out which ones had the better programs.  I ended up with a short list of five schools, and I have mailed off my application to each one of them.

I hope that I am accepted at one of them and I will be able to attend in the fall.  I am sure looking forward to it.

Some things that you can choose to make your diploma frame a truly high-end choice include:

• High quality wood. You don’t want to get the cheap stuff when you’re preparing your Masters Degree for its diploma display.
• Ornately patterned wood. The design of the frame itself should be ornately patterned for a degree that was difficult to achieve.
• Leather mat. You don’t want to get a standard paper mat for the advanced degree diploma frame. Choose one in leather or faux leather instead. Suede and other textured materials are also options.
• Large size. You want to get a frame that is larger than the frame for your Bachelor’s Degree. This helps denote the significance of this new degree. You can get a frame-within-a-frame or get a larger frame and larger mat; either option increases the size of the framed diploma.

All of these little things add up to a diploma frame that is worthy of your advanced degree.

Thankfully, I am now enrolled in  a cooking school and studying is a whole different game.  Instead of having to pour over books and memorize everything, I have to practice the culinary arts instead.  This means that I have been entertaining a whole lot more than I usually do, and it isn’t uncommon for me to prepare gourmet meals five nights per week.

Though this practicing has had a price when it comes to the cost of food in our home, it has been a wonderful experience.  It seems that I learn better hands on, and cooking is the perfect outlet for this type of learning.  In fact, I am doing the best that I have ever done at school and it feels great.

Besides, learning never tasted so good.

As it turned out, I met the most beautiful woman in the world and she was a dentist.  We dated for two years and finally tied the knot in marriage.  At the time, she was working with another dentist, but we decided that it would be better for us to go on our own and start our own practice.

At the time, I was just finishing my Master of Public Health with a dental emphasis so I figured that it would be a perfect fit for our new venture.  It was perfect, and we have been working together ever since.

But now, my wife has decided that she wants to further her education and she has been looking at some Doctoral Degrees in Health Education to further round out her skills.  I think that she might want to teach at some point and move away from having her own dental practice, but we will have to wait and see.

Needless to say, I am so very happy that we have been working together for all of these years - it has been the best thing for our relationship.

The diploma frame that I got was one of the coolest looking things I have ever received as a gift.  This particular frame had a 5×7 space for a personal picture and a bigger space for my diploma.  I was able to choose my favorite picture from graduation day to put into the 5×7 space and then add my diploma at a later date.  It was the best college diploma frame I personally have ever seen.  My parents got it for me, and the picture that I put in has them in it.

It is hard to believe that after five hard years I finally have graduated from my undergrad college.  I meant to be on the four-year plan but needed some additional classes to round out my degree.  I am very happy that I had the opportunity to attend college and I think the huge smile on my face in my new diploma frame shows that off quite nicely.  If you put work into your future, it will definitely pay off with a degree that will show that you are capable of learning what is put in front of you.

Bakeries, grocery stores, coffee shops and other food establishments are always looking for early risers to work in the very early morning hours baking breads and other fresh baked goods. Before the sun rises, the kitchens of these types of outlets are in full swing getting ready for the morning rush.  With minimal culinary training, you could apply for one of these early morning positions and still have a good portion of your day available to pursue the leisure’s of retirement. Many culinary arts institutes offer programs to prepare you to qualify for these types of jobs.  If you have too much time on your hands, go to Culinard and then apply to work in a local market or bakery to fill up some of that spare time.

Fun educational stuff to do in San Diego includes:

• Kayaking at La Jolla. You can take guided kayak tours through the caves of La Jolla. As if that isn’t cool enough, you’ll have fun because there are otters and sea lions that will come right up to your kayak.
• Get some golf instruction at the San Diego Golf Academy. You can take some short-term classes at this golf school in San Diego and enjoy the beautiful golf courses of the city.
• Explore Balboa Park. The San Diego Zoo is the big thing that everyone sees here but there are so many smaller gardens and museums to explore here that you should plan to spend more than just a single day here.
• Tour a military boat. There are huge boats docked at the water that you can tour to learn more about the importance of the military in this city.

San Diego is a really cool city with a lot for you to do while you’re there. Don’t just go with the guidebooks; do a few of these other fun things as well.

It’s not that my degree is all that complicated really. Basically it’s just an Advanced Occupational Therapy Online Degree that I received from the Arizona School of Health Sciences. It’s just that the focus is specifically on aiding human movement. However, the name of it confuses people. They start assuming that I’m interested in human migration patterns or some such thing.

Mostly I just tell people that I got my degree in physical therapy. It’s not quite what I do but it’s close enough and it saves me the trouble of having to explain myself again and again. And I definitely just don’t bother mentioning that I got the degree online because that just stirs up a whole second set of questions and problems from people that I don’t really want to bother answering!

There are leed classes daily that would help those looking to receive this type of certification. All you need to do is find the free time to go. I would suggest this type of education for civil engineers, architects, and even designers. These types of people need to be aware of the shift in building techniques that will help our environment. Being a LEED professional will help benefit any career from contracts with large firms to interior home design. Having knowledge of the new energy efficient design standards will leave a positive mark on the environment, and on their career.
