College Career to Christ

Education and career is an evitable part of human life. Generally, people born, pursue education and enroll in work as a lifecycle. This is the common mindset people used to have. The whole life is working to make a better life. The destiny of all sort of thing is material prosperity, the Money. The community and society also have encouraged toward it. Students are growing in a similar mindset from their childhood to reach the destiny, a destiny of better living. The purpose of life has been overwhelmed by this philosophy of society.

In the middle of the entire chaotic, influencing world, one has to find his goal, the purpose of living. Identify of anything is determined by its purpose. The purposeful dedication and enrolment in a particular area of the world determined who he/she is. The working, lifestyle, planning and attitude of people reflect where he/she is moving. Generally, we all know everything in this universe has purpose and nothing has made without purpose. The whole research and study of this universe based on this principle.

Student life is the valuable time of finding/determining a purpose or we used to call a career with growing in appropriate education. The whole life of reaching a destiny is based on the things you have learned and adopted at the time of educational study period. As per Christian philosophy, all the people or follower of Christ has been called with a purpose. They are to walk by the will of God. To glorify the father is the purpose of Christian living. We do see a difference in Christian students.  

The job of a student is to qualify oneself with the knowledge, skill, and capability to make a career which will glorify God. They are to be counseled, motivated and guided in a way that they could walk in the way they must walk. The fellowship, the parenting and scriptural foundation is a medium to grow accordingly. Let’s work together to qualify and purify fallen man into a fruitful man before God with reaching an appropriate career with an appropriate education.

Study in USA

There are many ways you can come to the States. But for F1 (International Student Visa), you must have i-20 to remain legal in the States. I-20 is a paper which shows your name, your major and the institution you are studying and date. Date in i20 expires but you need to renew it if you take a long time to graduate. You cannot take a long time to graduate. Usually, most of the student in US graduates in 5 years from University.

For more info about US education system:
https://www.internationalstudent.com/study_usa/choosing-the-u-s-a/usa-education-system/

To apply:

You can apply from your own home or you can go to a consultancy. You just need a valid i20 to get to The Embassy of the United States for Visa. If you know which university you are going, you just need to pay SEVIS fee which is $200 and to get an appointment for the interview it costs $162. It is good & cheap to apply by yourself.

Community College or University?

There are two institutions you can apply and study. Community Colleges are not government-run colleges. They are a private institution and they are cheaper than the university if you do not have a scholarship at the university. Community colleges cover core classes. You can study two years in community college and transfer to University & study two more years for your bachelor’s degree. Community colleges have courses only for bachelors. For masters, you must be in university from the beginning. There are no community colleges for masters.
University is expensive as compared to community college. But you have to go to university to get your undergrad degree. The courses are advance in university than in community college. So, most of the student study in Community College for the first 2 years and then transfers to university for their bachelor’s degree.
International Students are not allowed to work in the states. They can work legally if they get work within the University or College they are studying. To get employment, you must have SSN (Social Security Number) which can only be obtained from School DSO.

Study Law in Nepal

The graduates of law are in the highest demand because of their legal knowledge, critical thinking, and oral capacities. You might have even heard people saying “lawyers are the ones who can convert black into white and white into black.” Lawyers are often criticized by this particular statement the essence of which is understood wrong. The statement tries to convey the message that the lawyers have that intellectual capacity which can even convert the black into white and vice-versa; it doesn’t mean falsifying the case.

Law is the set of rules which regulates the behaviour of a person and prescribes punishment for the ones who act against that legal order. The state makes law through legislative, implements through executive and interprets through the judiciary. Judiciary is the law interpreting body. People go to the court for getting justice and demanding for the perpetrators to be punished.
