CatherineM Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 By the way, Oklahoma State has a great zoology department. Out of state tuition was so cheap in my time that it was cheaper than most state's in state tuition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotreDame Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm looking up other schools since I don't know where FP is from. So far, this is what I've found: Texas A&M's Wildlife and Fisheries Science Texas A&M's Zoology Program (scroll to the bottom) Nice!! Texas is close to Kansas!!! Look FP ^^^^^ Thanks! I live in Kansas, by the way. Though I am willing to go overseas to someplace like the UK or Australia since the low tuition justifies the trip. forget school, just buy a one-way ticket to Mendoza Argentina and work on a ranch for a couple of years. It's free and you'll learn aaaaallll about animals. I enjoyed the law. I got to do a lot of social justice stuff. Main job was helping family farmers keep their farms. Got a head injury and got to where I couldn't remember my clients names. They didn't care because I still won all my cases. I used index cards to keep everyone straight, who they were, what I wanted to ask them on the stand. Dropped them in court one day. Quickly became apparent that I was lost. Bar Association made me retire. I did some legal assistant stuff for awhile reviewing trial transcripts for appealable issues. For some reason my brain could still spot minutiae that's 500 pages apart that goes together. I was asked to do a couple of dozen death penalty cases which was interesting, fulfilling, but emotionally exhausting. After being asked to stand witness at an execution, that went terribly wrong, I couldn't do it anymore. Now I am an advocate for the disabled. I give speeches and write articles and fight with bureaucrats. I'm almost done with a masters in theology. Then I'm going for a JCL. I can't practice law here, or full time, but I can serve as a canon lawyer in the tribunal. I want to start a mediation program in the tribunal for those going through annulments. I've found that those who contest annulments usually do so because they haven't moved on. They've gotten stuck in the grief process. I can work as a canon lawyer now, but the JCL would let me teach and be in charge. People never expect to become disabled. I had hoped to be a judge by now. I'd have enjoyed that, but I'm enjoying this too. Quite an interesting path you've followed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nice!! Texas is close to Kansas!!!

Quite an interesting path you've followed! I imagine that since Texas A&M is a very famous college with a very big football team, the tuition won't be that cheap. Football teams ramp up tuition a lot, especially famous ones, because they need the best gear, training programs, and of course, a very good stadium, which requires expensive upkeep. It's also ramped up simply because of its name and team, because that's the spirit of education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotreDame Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 A) the football team at A&M makes money B) this tuition looks pretty good: http://sbs.tamu.edu/accounts-billing/tuition-fees/schedule/#TUITION_NONRESIDENT If you are concerned about cost do your first one or two years at a JC, then transfer somewhere.

What you've said is true, but it's also totally worth it, and financial aid is available. Edited January 12, 2014 by ToJesusMyHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, going to Texas A&M and being around all of those Texans might give me a southern twang, which I've made fun of far too much in life to now acquire one. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToJesusMyHeart Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was just in New York for a week and my relatives commented "why don't you sound Texan?!" Besides our use of "y'all" there isn't much of a Texan accent in North/South Central Texas. West Texas, yeehaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can write that off as a concern, then. :P Who knows, if I don't find a college I like more, I may go there! For now, though, I'm still searching for universities out of the country. If I could find one in Australia that does zoology that would be great because their tuition is so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an International student (not a resident of Australia), you would actually have to pay very high tuition fees. The student visa does not qualify you for resident status. I work for the Dept of Education so I have a little knowledge of this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
