Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I am about to be a high school Senior in a few weeks, and decided on pursuing a career as a doctor. I’ve been researching on possible Medical Schools and college, but I was wondering a tiny detail.
Colleges such as Columbia, NYU, Stonybrook, and now Hofstra have a Medical School, and are also possible choices for me after high school as well. Say I attended Hofstra, or any other school, and then applied to that schools Medical School as well. Would I have any sort of advantage because I went through my undergraduate years there?
Also as a side question, Hofstra is affiliated with North Shore LIJ, and I began volunteering in their ER as a shadow and observer to the ER staff, and plan to continue my volunteer for the foreseeable future, so would the fact that I am somewhat affiliated with Hofstra’s affiliations, would I stand out favorably?
I’m not relying on these ways to get into college and Medical School, but I was wondering if they would serve to my advantage more than somebody with similar grades or slightly better grades than me.
I don’t really know too much about Hofstra’s Medical School Program as its still new, but i have an overall average of a 96 so far, took a very rigorous course load throughout high school, and am thinking about majoring in Physics as I have heard it might help me stand out and I enjoy Physics a lot anyway. My high school is a Catholic school if that makes a difference.
What are my chances in general, or my outlook?

I’ve been at the same corporate job for 10 years and desperately want to find my niche. How do you figure out what you want to do with your life

As I rebuild my hope and my life in general..work on creating a niche for myself, I find myself asking when considering going out on my own in a particular career direction and/or creative endeavor that is not a typical career, etc ….?what is the point when> A) so many previous attempts/directions have fall through already or didn’t work out due to various reasons, B) I have real health limits that make it hard to just push on through like a bull and most of all…>C) there are so many others doing similar pursuits that I ask… ‘is there even a place or need for what I have to offer??…should I even bother putting it out there??
I vex quite a lot over this and struggle to continue summoning up the bravery or confidence to push past my own worries or the illusory limits of the market. Moreover I struggle with gaining the clarity to keep on pursuing something because I feel like, ‘well It’s been done or is being done by so many…so why bother?’
It’s very discouraging….I know what I would tell someone else…but I’m me and cannot seem to see past my own worries or the world. A lot of that youthful, fiercely independent and outside the box bold a$$ thinking and living was kicked out of me when I got sick and things fell apart and now as I rebuild I am doing so in a different, new fashion that is not quite as bold as I used to be. So I’m literally having to figure this out now, 10 years older and life circumstances GREATLY changed as a result of it all…etc….anywho…
Curious what others think about about pursuing something that is already done by many others, against all odds and still being positive about it?
Thanks! 🙂

I know there’s a boatload of questions about SWAT, but it seems like nobody ever gets a really good, thorough answer. So, I’m hoping this can tie up those loose ends, as well as answer my own questions.
I’ve recently made a major change to my life plan regarding what profession I would like to pursue. I would like to become a SWAT team member. I understand that’s a big goal in itself, as the common route is to become a police officer for three or so years and hopefully get selected for SWAT from there. There are other routes, such as military, but I think that for my goal it would be best to get a college degree and then go into a police force. This way, should I decide SWAT isn’t right for me, I can try to get selected for other things like the Secret Service, various jobs at security companies, or go back to school and get a job working for the FBI.
My first question is what degree should I get? Clearly Law Enforcement would be a good option, but the university I attend right now doesn’t offer that major (University of Minnesota TC). Are there other majors that you can get that would set you up for a career as a SWAT officer, or would it be better to look at other colleges that have Law Enforcement?
Getting the degree is important, but where do I go from there? I’m under the impression that you get your associate’s in Law Enforcement and then apply to a police academy. Upon completion of that you go on to working at a police force and apply to SWAT school after the required/recommended amount of time at that police force. Correct me if I’m wrong, and any guidance would be appreciated. Also, maybe some timeframes as to how long each takes? Associates is generally 2 years, but what about Police Academy and SWAT school?
My next question is what does the job market look like? I’m not afraid of a little competition, but if it’s next to impossible to get a job in a police force, and more importantly a position on their SWAT team, then I wouldn’t want to go down that road.
How can you transfer to different police stations? As with most people, I would like to go out into the world and succeed. Moving somewhere like Detroit and getting on their prestigious SWAT team would be amazing, but are there requirements to do so?
Most of all, is SWAT a desirable career choice? This question will be difficult to answer if you’ve never worked on a SWAT team, so I don’t expect most of you to have an answer. About me: I love helping people, and I don’t mind working incredibly hard to achieve my goals. I’m fit and continue to workout, and I’m a good marksman. I also work well with teams, I have exceptional social skills, and I am intelligent. Things I want to get out of the job: I want to do something where, at the end of the day, I can know that I helped someone. In addition, does this career provide a “livable” salary? It’s hard to put a dollar value on something, especially if you really enjoy it, but is this something where I can provide for myself and a family someday?
One last question – does SWAT have anything against tattoos? I don’t have any yet, but I would really like to get one. It’s for my dad who is battling Diabetes, so it is very important to me. The only thing standing in the way of that is if my career choice doesn’t support tattoos, so if anybody knows that would be really cool.
If you made it all the way through that lengthy question, I’m glad you took time to read this and hopefully help me out 🙂 If you have any tips or answers I’d really appreciate you sharing. Also, any tips about Yahoo Answers would be nice – this is my first ever post haha. Thanks!

Hi i would like to get into career involving drawing and art, Do you guy know any six figure careers in this niche?

Kobe Bryant’s career is going downhill, and yet the LA Lakers still have him surrounded by diminishing or inconsistent talent.
Pau Gasol- Once an MVP candidate in the first quarter of the season, but went cold the entire playoffs.
Lamar Odom- Inconsistent play throughout the players, never finding his niche or rhythm that he had in the reg. season playing at an all-star level.
Ron Artest- Lost all motivation of winning because he won already in 2010. No team would be willing to pick up his contract. LA would have been better re-signing Trevor Ariza who outplayed him in the New Orleans-Los Angeles series, although losing.
Derek Fisher- He should have retired this season and prepped himself as a future coach in the NBA. Fisher is a very clutch performer, but the LA Lakers need to be looking young, and this draft has plenty of quality Point Guards that can easily replace his role on the team.
Andrew Bynum- Easily played the best out of any Laker except Kobe Bryant. Although I don’t agree with his “dirt” play on Barea, it’s frustrating as a big man when a 5’10” Guard is breaking down your team’s defense.
Overall, I think LA needs to obtain C-Dwight Howard for anyone outside of Kobe Bryant, and C-Andrew Bynum will undoubtedly become dealt, although he doesn’t deserve to.
The main thing for LA right now is to get rid of the pseudo-Dynasty key pieces (Gasol, Odom, Fisher, Artest) and rebuild around Andrew Bynum.
