Listen to this... even though we have different religions I'm sure your God loves you, right? Take in to consideration that there are mothers that try to live their lives through their daughters lives. Sometimes mother's can be too controlling and possesive. Your God put you on this earth for a reason. And your mother doesn't get to decide what that reason is. Do what you have to do honey. You have to be happy too...

Im muslim too.. and that is not true... muslim women are allowed to live alone sister.. I know a lot who do.. but maybe you can move in with some muslim girls to make your parents fell better about it.
3 :
Religion could end up owning your life. We are only here for a short time, if it doesn't hurt any other, do whatever you need to do. Just be cool, baby, be cool.
4 :
they are old fashioned...give them time they need to get use to the era...or they will get use to your way of life...you go girl live your life with no regrets God will see no bad in it..
5 :
Other Muslim women have been able to succeed on their own in North America. There is no reason why you can't be successful as well. Cultural adaptation and assimilation can be really tough on people. It seems Muslims have the most challenging time trying to assimilate.
6 :
Find some nice Muslim women to room with you. Perhaps that will help. You must do in life what will ultimately help you become an effective, helpful, and productive member of society and even your religion. Nursing seems a very logical and wise choice. I say go for it but do what you can so your mother doesn't freak out too badly.
7 :
God does not punish people for wanting to live their lives. I respect your religion, but this is 2008. People who still indulge in arranged marriages are controlling and manipulative. Do what's in your heart. Go and live your life. Your Mom will be just fine, and when she sees what incredible things you have accomplished, you will make her very proud.
8 :
Trials and tribulations you have...... Sacrificial, life changing decisions must be made. If we are trying to be followers of God and look at situations like, 'is this what God would do?', then your family should at the least come to a half way point with you and a compromise. Though you know your family means well, and you may not be able to change their mind. You may have to leave home and explore your challenge of being a nurse without contact with your family for a little while. If your family is not in support of you, remember God is in support of you if you are doing something righteous and not evil!... Try talking to your family in depth about this before any further decisions. You may get married meeting someone while getting your nursing degree.
9 :
You will NOT be punished by GOD if your mother becomes ill. You must remember this is how you were RAISED to think. People get sick on their own and sometimes no one knows what caused it. It is time for you to stand up for yourself and become INDEPENDENT----------Your mother is telling you she will have a heart attack in order to make you feel bad and feel sorry for her. Tell her to STOP her nonsense as you have a life of your own to live. You say you live in Canada. Girls of all cultures and religions are VERY independent there as in the USA. Your mother needs to let you live your own life. Go for it. Plus should you marry, hopefully it will be someone you have fallen in love with and not an arranged marriage.

Im from Canada and I want to work and study in the US
Im from Canada and I want to work and study in the US...?
I am 18 years old, just graduated from highschool and I am looking into studying in the US, and working at the same time to pay off my tuition and living expenses... I plan on staying until I get my degree, which will be in nursing. I don't have any relatives over there, and I only have the basic documents. What kind of processes will I need to go through? What kind of documents will I need? Is it realistic that I get there by this year? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Alyssa let me first start off by saying... I love you. Secondly, I'm not too sure on the processes to come to the U.S. but I can imagine that getting a student visa to study wouldn't be that hard, however, to be able to work might be somewhat difficult. Nursing is a definitely a good career choice, make sure you become a RN though, they command higher salaries.

I think it's kind of hard to get a job in Psychology with just a bachelors.... If you want to major in Psych you should go for a masters at least. A double major might be good if you are interested in chemistry at all and want to work with, for example, chemical effects on the brain, chemoreceptors, etc. It's up to you, ultimately.
2 :
It's only you can decide what's best for you. Take time and think real hard to find the answer. In my opinion, the best for your future career is if you can do a double majors. Good luck to whatever you're decided. Best wishes!!
3 :
if youre interested in the mind and how it works you should try looking into biopsychology or neurobiology. like a previous poster said, getting a job w only a psychology BS will be difficult, so graduate school should be in your future. what you do with your degree depends on what you want to do for the rest of your life. you can do research and publish papers/books. you can teach it. or you can work in social fields, ie. counselor, social worker. you can also get your md and become a psychiatrist. its all up to you. good luck!

What do I do if I get my bachelor of science degree in biology
What do I do if I get my bachelor of science degree in biology?
I read one answer: "A lot of people do professional degrees after bachelors in bio, like - medicine - dentistry - masters / Ph.D - occupationa/physical therapy - nursing etc" So, what I'm asking is that in order to become a doctor, pharmacist, dentist, etc, do you need a degree in biology first, and then move onto ______ to become one? What do I do exactly with this degree once I get it? I'm still in high school, but will go to university next year to study biology (undergrad). I would like to be a pharmacist, or something along those lines, and just want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. p.s. I live in Canada if that helps...

You do not need a degree in biology to go to a school for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy or occupational therapy. You will need a degree in a biological-related science if you want to do a masters degree or Ph.D in a biological science. For example, if you want to do a Ph.D in genetics, it will help to first have a bachelor's in molecular biology or biotechnology. So why is it that so many doctors, dentists, pharmacists do their undergraduate degree in biology? Because many of the prerequisite courses for medical school are courses one would take while working on a bachelor's degree in biology. In order to get into medical school, you will need the following: i. a bachelor's degree (in any field). ii. two semesters of biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics. iii. a good score on the MCAT (it's the SAT for medical school). Also, many medical schools would like you to take biochemistry and 2 other upper division biological sciences (Genetics and Molecular biology). By the time you've taken all the courses you need to go to medical school, you are half-way done with a degree in biology, so it's easier to just finish the degree in biology than to switch over and do a degree in business. By the way, for Pharmacy you need the same courses as for medical school, but you also need to take Calculus, Anatomy and Physiology. As for nursing and physical/occupational therapy--these are bachelor's degree programs in themselves. If you want to work in either of these professions, you would do these programs instead of a biology degree.
