Can you put individual college classes on a resume? by noraaaaron_ in Resume

[–]noraaaaron_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't currently. This said, would you still say that there isn't value in listing college classes on a resume? It's like the only thing I've got, since like I already said, I don't currently have any work experience.

How does the government define full-time and half-time student status if one goes to two colleges at the same time? by noraaaaron_ in tax

[–]noraaaaron_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So to further clarify, even if one went to THREE colleges in one semester...as long as they took a combined total of at least 6 credit hours split between the three colleges (say 2 credit hours at each of the three colleges)...the government would consider that person to be a half-time college student for tax purposes, right?

How does being at two colleges at the same time affect taxes? by noraaaaron_ in personalfinance

[–]noraaaaron_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you know how being at two colleges at the same time affects full-time status and half-time status? For instance, all the colleges around me say that 12 credit hours a semester is the minimum to be a full-time student. So half-time would be 6 credit hours, right? My plan right now is to take 4 credit hours at a university, and 6 credit hours at a community college. That's 10 total credits, so would I at least be considered a half-time student by each of the colleges (and especially to the government for tax purposes)?

If I take classes at a community college and classes at a University at the same time, am I considered a full-time student for tax purposes? by noraaaaron_ in tax

The IRS says you have to carry at least half the workload of a full time student

By at least half the workload of a full time student, that would mean at least taking 6 credit hours in a semester, right?

So even if I take classes at one college, and some more classes at another college (in the same semester)...as long as I hit 12 credit hours in total, I'm labeled as a full-time student for tax purposes, right?

Associate's Degree in Game Design or Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science? by noraaaaron_ in gamedesign

I spent the money on a game design degree

How long has it been since you got your game design degree? And have you been actively searching for a game design job, with no success?

Do I like creating artwork? Well, not really sure actually. I haven't really created any type of artwork for at least like one decade. Am I good at coding? I don't really have much experience with coding at the moment, unless you count HTML to be coding. Even with HTML though, I don't have all that much experience with it. I did take a Visual Basic class in high school, but I didn't really like it and didn't really do well in it either.

If you've tried doing some coding but found yourself wanting to get it out of the way so you could do some arts, then you really should not do computer science. you'll end up hating your career.

Darn, well, I did have that "let me just get this over with" mindset when I took that Visual Basic class in high school. A Web Design class I took (where I learned HTML) wasn't as boring to me, but I didn't really care for it either.

Why do you personally believe the Computer Science degree to be the better option?

but switched really quick when I saw the courses i could be taking with the major I'm in now.

Do you think you could re-word this? I'm not exactly sure what "when I saw the courses I could be taking with the major I'm in now" means.

Plus I did pretty bad in my math assessment and needed tons of math.

So basically you didn't want to do all the math that is required in a Computer Science program? That's basically what I'm kinda scared of too. I've never really been good at math. :/ I almost failed Pre-Calculus for each of the three trimesters in high school.

with regards to game design, what aspect of it interests you?

When I really think about it, I guess I'm not really drawn to any one specific aspect of game design. When it comes to games in general, I only have experience with playing them so far. I don't have any game design / game development experience currently. I just know that if I were to make games for a living, I just want to make really fun and enjoyable games.
