Mrs. Bs Real Advice For Real Problems Dear Mrs. B, am currently studying two subjects as my majors. Im studying art because I enjoy it; I study international business because its a more marketable degree. I know my potential job can be exotic and interesting, but is it worth it for me to spend huge chunks of my day doing something I dont enjoy? My fear is that graduate school will cost so much money. So my question is, should I invest this much time and money in a safe degree knowing Ill double my student loans when I study out of state? -- Dear Major Distress, Its hard to pour blood, sweat and tears into something that you dont enjoy and potentially wont pay off for some time. There is an old Chinese proverb which says that distant water wont quench your immediate thirst. Looking into the future for something that might be there is not going to help you out if youre miserable in the present. Ultimately, your love for and interest in your job will be more valuable than having a more marketable degree. Being happy and broke is better than being unhappy and broke for the next three-fou- r years if you know youll have a satisfying, enjoyable career in the end. -- Mrs. B Dear Mrs. B, Do you think once a cheater, always a cheater? Also what -- Groups and the Federal Communication Commission, A Study in the Politics of Broadcast currently teaching advertising do you think it means when your man checks out other women?

A counselor can guide you in a direction you perhaps havent thought of, and help you decide what path your mind should take and your heart should follow.

Questioning His Devotion Dear Questioning, There arc times when we must turn a blind eye to what our significant others do, and then there arc times when we must confront them. For you, its confrontation time. You need to know if he is really interested in you, or simply using you until he finds something better. Your first question leads me to believe that he has cheated on you, and you have taken him back. This is both noble and loving. However, it is also naive of you to think that he wont do it again because of the fact that hes still checking out other women. You need to evaluate your relationship and ask yourself if hes worth spending your time and heart on. Be honest with him, not whiny or nagging, but truthful about your feelings and his. Youll never feel like hes totally into you if his head is turned the other way.
