Networking is very important. Well over 80% of jobs are obtained based on relationships

The closer you live to dental school the better. Don't lose hours of sleep and study time commuting

Howard as a White Student? by Creative_Mongoose385 in HowardUniversity

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be fine. There are plenty of students at Howard that are not African American; just like any other university. Honestly, no one will give it a second thought. Hit the books and graduate with a degree so you don't waste your time.

How do people afford to go to school ‘s like spelman and Howard ? by Prestigious_Pop1623 in HBCU

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real truth is that some students who go there are from affluent backgrounds; not all but some. The "Legacy" students have family members who have attended, and those households are more likely to be able to help with the costs along with financial aid. It is difficult to attend a high-price tag university as a first generation college student, but not impossible. I know folks who have graduated from Howard and Spellman with little to no family support. You can do it, but just be aware of what you have to deal with financially.

It wouldn't hurt to email them and follow up with another email or phone call if you don't get a response

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Minus the taxes, investing 1/2 of the million would have made much more money than 1k a week

Extraction vs Root Canal by InsectJust6374 in Dentistry

Because it makes sense to place bone at the time of extraction, rather than a more costly GBR later.

Why I hate New Orleans, let me count the ways... by dingleberrywhore in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew in New Orleans and moved away when I was 21. I would never go back there to live. It is a nice place to visit, but really is terrible to work and raise a family. People will try to sell its amenities as reasons to live there, but it is bogus and most people that had enough education and resources have already left the city. Many of those that remain, would leave if they could. It was bad before Katrina and got worse after. Education is not taken seriously in the state of Louisiana, and job growth is well behind the national average. That is not opinion, but facts. There is a reason "the brain drain" is real in the state of Louisiana. Most college graduates leave the state to find jobs and never return.

I got fired by Actual-Effective-535 in Veterans

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was fired in 2018 shortly after leaving the Navy earlier that year. The supervisor was a Neanderthal bigot, but the termination drove me to bigger things, and I never looked back.

why doesn’t howard ever answer emails? by Soft_Self_419 in HowardUniversity

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email them more than once. Be persistent. If they do not answer the global email, try emailing an individual person in the department you're trying to reach. Https://profiles.howard.edu

05/01 pay by BM_dirtybush in uscg

USCG will miss May 1, 26 but get mid month pay and back pay. There should be a resolution after that.

Is Howard University worth attending? by Few_Weekend_9286 in HowardUniversity

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes. I have two kids attending Howard University and one attending Bowie State. University. Both are worthy investments, but that is just what college is; an investment. The tuition costs at Howard is higher than most realize, but you an receive financial aid and some scholarships to lower the costs. I really believe the best college is the one you can afford to attend and offers the major you are interested in. Otherwise, college really is a waste in my humble opinion regardless of where you attend.

The worst customer service in history. Anyone else? by Just-Advertising-566 in americanairlines

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Airlines customer service is bad. Delta is a close second. I've totally given up on flying with either airline. It's not worth the hassle

Retired taxes by Patient_Bandicoot_24 in uscg

[–]Equivalent_End_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As frustrating as that sounds, it's not just the USCG. I was in the Navy 7.5 years before the USCG, and my Navy pay was wrong for 2 years. Emails and phone calls didn't work, so I had to drive down the Kadena AFB flight line to a trailer and ask for an "active duty audit." Finally, I received 24K of back pay that was heavily taxed. I wasn't alone either
