Is there any room to advance with architect?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the job outlook for architects. Employment of architects is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2016. Keen competition is expected for positions at the most prestigious firms, and opportunities will be best for those architects who are able to distinguish themselves with their creativity. Employment change. Employment of architects is expected to grow by 18 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Employment of architects is strongly tied to the activity of the construction industry. Strong growth is expected to come from nonresidential construction as demand for commercial space increases. Residential construction, buoyed by low interest rates, is also expected to grow as more people become homeowners. If interest rates rise significantly, home building may fall off, but residential construction makes up only a small part of architects' work. Current demographic trends also support an increase in demand for architects. As the population of Sunbelt States continues to grow, the people living there will need new places to live and work. As the population continues to live longer and baby-boomers begin to retire, there will be a need for more healthcare facilities, nursing homes, and retirement communities. In education, buildings at all levels are getting older and class sizes are getting larger. This will require many school districts and universities to build new facilities and renovate existing ones. In recent years, some architecture firms have outsourced the drafting of construction documents and basic design for large-scale commercial and residential projects to architecture firms overseas. This trend is expected to continue and may have a negative impact on employment growth for lower level architects and interns who would normally gain experience by producing these drawings. Job prospects. Besides employment growth, additional job openings will arise from the need to replace the many architects who are nearing retirement, and others who transfer to other occupations or stop working for other reasons. Internship opportunities for new architectural students are expected to be good over the next decade, but more students are graduating with architectural degrees and some competition for entry-level jobs can be anticipated. Competition will be especially keen for jobs at the most prestigious architectural firms as prospective architects try to build their reputation. Prospective architects who have had internships while in school will have an advantage in obtaining intern positions after graduation. Opportunities will be best for those architects that are able to distinguish themselves from others with their creativity. Prospects will also be favorable for architects with knowledge of "green" design. Green design, also known as sustainable design, emphasizes energy efficiency, renewable resources such as energy and water, waste reduction, and environmentally friendly design, specifications, and materials. Rising energy costs and increased concern about the environment has led to many new buildings being built green. Some types of construction are sensitive to cyclical changes in the economy. Architects seeking design projects for office and retail construction will face especially strong competition for jobs or clients during recessions, and layoffs may ensue in less successful firms. Those involved in the design of institutional buildings, such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and correctional facilities, will be less affected by fluctuations in the economy. Residential construction makes up a small portion of work for architects, so major changes in the housing market would not be as significant as fluctuations in the nonresidential market. Despite good overall job opportunities some architects may not fare as well as others. The profession is geographically sensitive, and some parts of the Nation may have fewer new building projects. Also, many firms specialize in specific buildings, such as hospitals or office towers, and demand for these buildings may vary by region. Architects may find it increasingly necessary to gain reciprocity in order to compete for the best jobs and projects in other States.

How can I determine the classification of Doctor of Jurisprudence vs. a Ph.D?
Doctors of jurisprudence are abbreviated J.D., they are degrees awarded after three years of graduate study at law schools, mostly in America, and they are always in law, and typically do not require a dissertation, they enable the holder to sit for a U.S. bar exam when they're awarded by an American Bar Association approved law school. - PhDs are doctors of philosophy but they can be in any academic field (though in America, they are not awarded in law, but PhDs may be awarded in law in other countries that do not have JDs), they require dissertations and typically last 4-6 years depending on the subject (though maybe awarded in 3 years in the UK). People awarded a PhD. may be addressed as "doctor" but people with J.D.s are not addressed as "doctor."

What is the bitrate of the signal in which bit lasts for 0.001 seconds?
The bit rate of a signal in which the time per bit is know can be easily calculated. The bit rate for a signal where a bit lasts for 0.001 seconds can be found directly by inverting the time per bit. But let's look at it this way. Your bit takes 0.001 seconds to be completed. That's 1/1000th of a second. That's a rate of 1/1000th of a second per bit, isn't it? Yes, it is. But bit rate is bits per second, and you have seconds per bit, right? Yes, you do. It turns out that 1/1000th of a second per bit is exactly equal to one bit per 1/1000th of a second. It is most important that this is clear. Your bit rate is one bit per thousandth of a second. But wait a minute. Bit rate is normally measures in "x" number of bits per one second, and the bit rate here is expressed here as one bit per 1/1000th of a second. Here's what it looks like: 1 bit
________________________
1/1000th seconds Looks kinda ugly, but that's what it is. Now multiply both the numerator (1 bit) and the denominator (1/1000th seconds) by 1000. That makes the denominator turn into a 1 which is what is needed to convert this mess into bits per 1 second. The numerator will be come 1000. The answer is now clear. It's 1000 bits per one second, or 1000 bits per second, or 1000 bps, or 1k bps.
Is it best to have an AA before transferring to a 4 year?
It's a personal preference. However, read the following before you make that decision.
Associates (Community College Level) vs. Bachelors (Four Year College or University)
Community College Level
An Associate degree (two year community college) is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. Evidently it would take longer as a part-time student. Within the United States, the associates typically falls into three main categories; Associates of Arts (AA), Associates of Science (AS), and Associates of Applied Science (AAS). An associates of arts (AA), and associates in science (AS) degrees are typically designed for transfer to a four year college or university. Therefore, these degrees have a strong liberal arts emphasis and include a good balance of humanities, social science, and written communication along with the exact sciences especially in higher level math. They also have the foundational course work needed as prerequisites for the higher level courses at the four year institution. The AAS was typically designed as a terminal degree giving the student all the expertise needed to enter the workforce after completion of the degree. However, today, many AAS degree are transferable to four year institutions, but the student should meet with the transfer counselor for appropriate direction when it comes to the AAS degrees. Depending on the program of study and state mandates, the associates can take anywhere from 60 to 64 credits to complete. Some programs of study (usually within the health related fields) may take a bit more in credits.
Four Year College or University Level
The bachelor's degree (four year college or university)is designed as a four year program of study provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university. Again, part-time students will take longer to complete the degree. How long it would take depends on the credit load taken per semester. Basically, within the United States there are two common categories; Bachelors of Arts (BA), and Bachelors of Science (BS). It depends on the institution and department within the school as to which focus they prefer.
The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.
The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.
The number of credits required depends on the specific school and program of study. In general, for colleges and universities that operate on a semester system, the bachelors can take between 120 and 128 credits to complete. Some programs of study may take more. For example, architecture. The following are some differences between community colleges, and four year colleges and universities.
Community College
Many individuals start at the community college level for a variety of reasons to include:
- Community colleges are less expensive to start out with. You can cut the cost of a four year degree almost in half by starting at a community college first, and then transferring to four year college or university to finish up the last two years.
- There are typically smaller classroom sizes at the community college with a better professor to student ratio, which means more individualized attention.
- Some students do not meet the entrance requirements of the four year college or university, thus they start at the community college first, then transfer later.
- The community colleges are typically more family oriented, with a strong sense of community.
- Some students like to be close to home, thus they start at their home county community college.
- Some careers only require an associate's degree.
Four Year Colleges and Universities
- Four year institutions are usually larger, with a number of activities not offered at the community college level. For example, fraternities, and sororities, college football, etc.
- Some colleges may have top name lecturers, within large lecture halls which are preferred by many students.
- Some individuals like the four year institutions environment (the university atmosphere).
- There are students who can major in special program curriculums not offered by the community college.
In the end, it is a matter of preference. Do you like being a big fish in a little pond, or a little fish in a big pond? Whichever you choose, you must be happy with your school, its offerings, the services provided, and environment. If you're not happy, you will not fair as well.

Does an AA degree in Early Childhood Education qualify as a minor in Elementary Education?
If I understand your question correctly, the AA is a degree at the two year level and not a minor. If you take a bachelors degree, the associates would still remain a degree; a bachelors in elementary education, an associates of arts degree in early childhood education (which should be the way you would want it).
How many credits do your need for your AA for the RN program?
While the associates degree in most areas is approximately 60 to 64 credits to complete, the registered nurse program is a bit more because of the clinical hours involved. The program - depending on the institution - would be approximately 75 credits.
