I think year 11 is equvilent to grade 12 in the states. I could be mistaken though. Either way, compulsory education ends at 16 though the government have tabled proposals to raise the leaving age to 18 starting 2013. You can't go directly onto university, as you first need to acquire the necessary grades at college/6th form doing A-levels to get onto your preferred university course.

Or if you haven't got the necessary qualifications, you can do a 1year 'access course' (equivalent to 3 A levels) to get into uni. :phew

Knowledge what we gain in schools and Uni's help us get a better job.

But the knowledge of experience that we gain is the knowledge for knowing more abt us.....


So don't think u r a dropout since not most people were High graded in general life.


Even some great educated guy forget to look into the basic and simple life lessons.

That's why i refer Everyone to a Flower. Which has it's own abilities.........

:sl:

The first step is to take a course in General Psychology to learn of the many different fields of psychology and the different disciplines in each. Youalso need to understand that the common concept of "pop"psychology is not psychology.

Some fields of psychology can be haram, especially in the areas of developmental and child psychology as with some of the disciplines of behavior modification.

Although psychology has been recognized as field of science for over 100 years now, it is still a "new" science and there are still some of the old teachings that go back to the days it was considered a branch of philosophy.

Be cautious of the reasons you want to enter into the field and be aware that, you may have some misconceptions as to what it is that a psychologist does. There are only a few areas that deal with direct counseling of people. Most of psychology is more mathematics and forming mathematical models for measuring different aspects of behavior. some areas such as physiological psychology are more akin to biology than to sociology.

You are all very educated Mash'Allah... I am very impressed with all your persons... I just wanted to contrast this with an article I had read of Muslim earnings in the U.S compared with the non-muslims but I didn't see many non-muslim participants...

The report said Middle Eastern immigrants were highly educated, with 49 percent holding at least a bachelor's degree, compared to 28 percent of natives.

Median earnings for Middle Eastern men were $39,000 a year compared to $38,000 for native workers.

they tend to be better-educated than native U.S. residents — about half hold bachelor's degrees, compared to 28 percent of natives. They also perform as well economically as natives — 30- and 40-year-old Middle Eastern males with a college education have the same median income as natives, and Middle East immigrants are more likely be self-employed.



and here yet another report!

Middle Eastern Immigrants in U.S. Educated, Prosperous, Study Says
Gannett News Service, August 15, 2002

(Also ran in Arizona Republic - 8/15)

WASHINGTON — Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States are well educated, earn more money than most Americans and are predominantly Muslim, according to a report released Wednesday.

They also are among the nation's fastest-growing immigrant groups, according to the report issued by the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, a think tank that supports reducing the number of immigrants to the United States.

The report says the number of Middle Eastern immigrants increased from fewer than 200,000 in 1970 to almost 1.5 million in 2000. The overall number of foreign-born residents in the United States tripled to 31 million over the same period.

The report offers a rare portrait of an immigrant group that has received intense scrutiny and negative publicity since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Project MAPS, a survey of "Muslims in the American Public Square" conducted in 2001-2002 by researchers at Georgetown University, found that 86 percent of all Muslim professionals were concentrated in three careers: engineering, computer science, and medicine. Law, law enforcement, and politics accounted for a minuscule 0.6 percent. American Muslims, some demographers say, have also been voting well below their numbers in the population -- registering to vote at only half the national rate, according to the 2001 American Religious Identification Survey [PDF], a project of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. "If they ever did play to their weight" in the electoral arena and in Washington, Muslims "would be a much more considerable force in public policy-making," says Steve Clemons, a Democrat who directs the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation in Washington.
