The minimun salary for a professional in Costa Rica, as a mediacl doctor whitout specialty is 321000 colones per month, that´s $623 a month. However, in Costa Rica there are not many job oporunities because there are lots of medical doctors whitout specialty. Also you should consider that, when you apply for a job in Costa Rica, employeers are obliged to prefer national aspirants for the job if they have the same qualities as foreigners that are also applying for the job

I'm attending a boarding school fall 2010; which one should I choose? (USA)?
I don't have any specific names of boarding schools I like right now, just because all of their websites tend to be at least minorly misleading. So alumni would be fantastic--if you've attended a boarding school in the USA that you really liked, please tell me about it. My preferences would be an annual tuition fee of 36,000 or less, a good english department, and somewhere it gets cold or even snows would be nice as well. Thanks for your answers. :)

Please tell me about major in graduate school in USA.
Please tell me about major in graduate school in USA.?
I am thinking about going to Grad School in U.S. Right now I am doing a system engineer in Hong Kong. My job is managing a project team, and building a customized computer system for clients. Example of my detailed job is to estimate Software/Hardware/SI, and negotiate with clients, select Hardware/Software, fix the specification of application, design of application and system, and so on. Sometimes in a small project, I do even technical things, like building OS(Win/Solaris), programming, and tuning of RDBMS. In Grad School, I want to extend in this direction, but the most things I want to focus is technical skill, like Program, DB Management, Nework, OS, and Program. I want to less emphasize on Project Management, or Business side. In this case, what would be the best major for me? I do not really understand what's the difference among computer science, information technology, system engineering, information systems, electrical & computer engineering. Please Help!

No. You can only have one Visa, student or work, you cannot have both and you cannot switch them, so you have to just stick to your student visa. Visas are very strict in their regulations, you are issued a Visa for a specific amount of time, and you cannot be in this country outside of that time. So no, sorry.

if the cubs played the best high school team in USA 162 times in a row would they win every game?
Baseball - 6 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The cubs are a prolific squad but if the High School contingent scrupulously scrutinize the opposition and concoct appropriate game plans the are in with a chance. The most prosperous strategy I believe if attempting to play 162 consecutive games would be to fatigue the opposition as much as possible during each altercation. This could be done by dropping catches hence the batter shall have to run instead of returning to the dugout, endeavoring to score home runs by tapping the ball into open space and taking a convenient base while the fielders have to exert energy and finally not letting the game become stagnant. Younger players possess superior stamina and will always prevail if the adversary is tired.
2 :
No. They will be 132-30
3 :
No. They would win a lot of those games but not all of them. High Schoolers' can hit 89-85 mph fastballs for whoever said they couldn't. But ya the cubs would win most of them but definatly not all O and the for the dude who said high school pitchers can only throw 70 mph I'm a freshman that throws that fast and i was the slowest pitcher on the freshman team so the best high school varsity teams pitchers will throw like 83-88 mph
4 :
No, they would have to lose games as well win them, you can't win every game, plus it is no fun for the other team to lose every single game that they play. Bottom line, you have to lose too you just can't win every game, even through it would be nice to. But if the Cubs played the best High School team in the USA, who knows who will win.
5 :
No because it would be important games and Cubs and important games don't go well as we've seen for the past 100 YEARS. Most likely go 11-151
6 :
Is this question a joke? I mean seriously come on.... yes the cubs would win EVERY single game... the best high school team in the nation MAY have 4 players that EVENTUALLY make it to the MLB. The players on the high school team have played for a much shorter amount of time, are not completely developed, not used to hitting 90 mph pitching on a daily basis. The high school team will have 1 or 2 pitchers hitting 90 mph IF THEY ARE LUCKY... there is no way that the best high school team in the country could beat a MLB team as pathetic as the pirates...

when I was in school, most teachers prefered to be called Mr. Mrs. There were a few teachers that allowed the students to call them by their first name. My favorite teacher "science class" we refered to him as Mr. D. because no one could pronounce his last name.

in grade school, always no. it's disrespectful for a child to speak to a mentor using a familiar name. in highschool, no, it's even more disrespectful, usually because the teenager is getting sassy with the teacher. in college, it's possible, but depends on what the teacher asks to be called. most prefer their formal title: Dr. or professor graduate school is the same as college, but maybe a bit more relaxed since it's more of a peer environment. i find that many adjunct teacher, usually without PhD's will allow 1st name, but those with PhD will want to be referrred to as Dr.
10 :
NO way, at least not in any Texas school. Its Sir, Maam, Mr, Mrs, Ms....you get the idea.
11 :
When I was at senior school (83-87) in England we used to have a sports teacher we called Jock (he was Scottish), so they compromised and let us call him by his first name (Laurie) as they didn't think nick names like that were appropriate, the teacher himself didn't mind though.
12 :
No.
13 :
I guess that would be up to the teacher. many teachers think they need to be the child's friend in order for them to be effective teachers; that is a huge mistake. I know that many teachers do allow it. Children do not respect adults that act like their friends instead of adult leaders. I, as a parent do not allow my children to call any adult by their first name; although many adults nowadays seem to encourage it making my job to teach otherwise much more difficult.
14 :
In lower education, like elementary and High School that would be a no unless they are directed by the teacher to call them by their first name. In college there are professors who choose to be called by their first name rather than Mr./Mrs./Miss. It is up to the teacher.
15 :
As a teacher in California, I know teachers who have let their students use their first name...but these teachers have been few and very far between. I require my students to use Mr.... and sir. I know of no teacher at my school currently who allow students to use their first name. This practice leads to problems with discipline and learning...teachers are not a students peer.
16 :
Unfortunately, it is true in some schools. It is a trend that i don't like and it is based, I believe, in teachers wanting to be the friends of students, When i began teaching at the age of 24 one of my students asked me my first name. My answer to her was Mister. She did not inquire again.
17 :
At my school it is Mr./Miss/Mrs. all the way. My cousin teaches and has her son in her Biology I class and he still calls her Mrs. B______.
18 :
In California, we're not allowed to call our teachers by their first names. Saying "Ms./Mrs./Mr." shows respect toward the teacher. It's rude if students call their teachers by their first names.
Or do they call them Sir / Ma'am / Mr / Mrs / Miss...etc? Some people are under the impression that US school students can freely call their teachers "Bob", "Susie", "Mary" and so on, instead of calling them Sir, Ma'am, Mr. Jones, Mrs Randall, etc... Is it true?

When I was at senior school (83-87) in England we used to have a sports teacher we called Jock (he was Scottish), so they compromised and let us call him by his first name (Laurie) as they didn't think nick names like that were appropriate, the teacher himself didn't mind though.
12 :
No.
13 :
I guess that would be up to the teacher. many teachers think they need to be the child's friend in order for them to be effective teachers; that is a huge mistake. I know that many teachers do allow it. Children do not respect adults that act like their friends instead of adult leaders. I, as a parent do not allow my children to call any adult by their first name; although many adults nowadays seem to encourage it making my job to teach otherwise much more difficult.
14 :
In lower education, like elementary and High School that would be a no unless they are directed by the teacher to call them by their first name. In college there are professors who choose to be called by their first name rather than Mr./Mrs./Miss. It is up to the teacher.
15 :
As a teacher in California, I know teachers who have let their students use their first name...but these teachers have been few and very far between. I require my students to use Mr.... and sir. I know of no teacher at my school currently who allow students to use their first name. This practice leads to problems with discipline and learning...teachers are not a students peer.
16 :
Unfortunately, it is true in some schools. It is a trend that i don't like and it is based, I believe, in teachers wanting to be the friends of students, When i began teaching at the age of 24 one of my students asked me my first name. My answer to her was Mister. She did not inquire again.
17 :
At my school it is Mr./Miss/Mrs. all the way. My cousin teaches and has her son in her Biology I class and he still calls her Mrs. B______.
18 :
In California, we're not allowed to call our teachers by their first names. Saying "Ms./Mrs./Mr." shows respect toward the teacher. It's rude if students call their teachers by their first names.

Who goes to a PRIVATE SCHOOL in USA
Who goes to a PRIVATE SCHOOL in USA?
Is everyone in private schools rich and snobby and spoiled??? Im going to go to one but im rich but im not poor and im definitely not spoiled or snobby. Here in europe i go to a private school but its a cheap school so most people arent rich. Do people in expensive private high schools do anything cool like get drunk and smoke and go to really cool and big parties? Or do they do everything with the rules. Here i get drunk and do stuff like that ocassionally and its fun. Also do the girls in private schools only go out with rich people with cars???????

In michigan the girls who go to private school are SLUTS. I never went to one, but a few people have I know and they said that its true, they are.
2 :
I went to a private catholic school as did my boyfriend. Both of us are from middle-income families in suburan neighborhoods. I don't consider myself snobby or spoiled. We both drive cars that were left to us by deceased relatives and work full-time jobs to pay for college. You find rich kids in the US in both public and private schools. Several of the school districts in my home state of New Jersey are very wealthy were every student has a laptop, wears designer clothes and the student lot has more BMWs than the faculty lot... but others many students don't speak English and can't read before they graduate. Spend enough hanging around in schools in the US you will find people who are spoiled and snobby even when their parents can barely afford to feed them.
3 :
Yeah we are all snobby rich bitches
4 :
I go to a private school although it is pretty small it is really expensive, there are way too many scholarship kids for my taste, I think it depends on the person but I only go out with rich guys, almost everyone has a car, I don't yet, I am too young to drive but I am getting one as soon as I can drive. There are lots of people in my school that drink and do drugs and have really lame parties, They aren't the popular people though. There are also amazing parties that are fun and over the top. Not every one is spoiled, rich or snobby but lots of us are
5 :
I did, and NO... Rich for the most part YES... and it was Very expensive so that would explain that... And no girls in private schools don't only go out with only the rich ppl, although most do, because well that is who is there.

Please tell me about high school in USA ( especially in MI ). I'm so worry about my brother's behavior.
Please tell me about high school in USA ( especially in MI ). I'm so worry about my brother's behavior.?
Hello. I'm from Thailand and I don't know anything about school in US. My brother went to Michigan as an exchange student and he will stay there in a school year. He is a sophomore student. He takes a team sports class this semester. And I really want to know that do the high school students have a shower in naked bodies together before and / or after the PE class ? And if you're not the school athlete will you able to take a shower with a naked body at the school with the other students ? And also I worry about his behavior. I want to know that do the school and living zone ( outside the town ) prevent people under 18 years old from drinking alcohol beverage and having abuse drugs as well. Please tell me, thank you.

Some kids shower together after PE and some don't. It depends on the school. Every school is different. As far as drugs and alcohol--peer pressure is everywhere. It's up to your brother not to engage in those things.
2 :
Hey why don't you email me at Samantha Garant @ yahoo ( no spaces in the email though) I've been a Michigan resident forever and went threw all of my schooling there except one semester of college. That way you can e-mail me on and off while you're brothers there and I'll educate you about Michigan and the US as much as possible. :D I hope to hear from you.

Boys shower naked together, girls shower naked together. Boys and girls do not shower naked together. Some boys wear swim trunks or shorts in the shower. That's up to them. No, it's only the athletes who shower at school. Some schools have physical education classes for all students. In that case, the PhysEd class will shower after the class, but not boys and girls together, of course. Stores and bars that sell alcohol to those under 18 face large fines, and risk going out of business, so they will always ask for ID. As for drugs, they are illegal for any age, so it's risky behavior to take drugs. I think your brother will be fine. Why don't you call him today and ask him how he's doing?
