In these outstanding middle school students, there are quite a number of young people will life positioning themselves in the 3 public generally advocate Occupation: doctor, business executives and lawyers.

 

     The only way which must be passed when the doctor is on medical school, medical doctor degree on MD; business school MBA has become the only way which must be passed to the enterprise standardization society supervisor; aspiring lawyer, must read Dr. JD's degree in law from the law school. America medical school, business school and law school are professional institute (Professional School), other professional education as school, School of architecture, School of dentistry belong to the profession or occupation education.

     "3 dreams" is American higher education "," education, students must have bachelor's degree or diploma. Early understand the USA this standardization society of typical "3 dreams", the child's culture and life planning will be of great inspiration and help.

 

      (1) respected doctors -- Dr. MD

 

      The doctor is very noble status, enviable in American. Many USA child was set when a doctor. However, they may not know that doctor, engaged in the work is actually a very hard occupation. From the bachelor's degree graduation was admitted to medical school, everyone must go through ten long years of School Road, during the hard is not an outsider can understand.

     Chinese medical college to recruit high school graduates, after four years of learning and a year of internship, feasible and medicine. America medical school only recruits have bachelor's degrees or above, perhaps they think university graduates, more mature, only more mature person can be competent for the people of life.

     Medical School of examinee bachelor's degree professional but not required, can be biological, biochemical or chemical, but also music, literature, history, art and so. However, to require candidates to have credit for survival of the University of biological, chemical, physical and calculus courses, high school curriculum in the corresponding AP examination by can. In addition, MCAT exam exam but also to participate in the National School of medicine. High USA medical college admission difficulty, a famous medical college from enter oneself for an examination the school students selected 10% interview to the school, and then admitted to 10% ~ 15%, almost one in a million. General medical college admission is also very not easy, some deep Ming in the candidates to be on the safe side, even while registering for examination of thirty or forty medical college.

     American medical educational system is 4 years. When students graduate, got a medical doctor degree MD (Medicine Doctor), compared with the Chinese medical students, the same 4 years, China students holding is a Bachelor of medicine, America students take is doctorate. This is because different starting point, American students are bachelor's degree after graduation to medical school.

     The learning process of medicine is long, from go to medical school, after 4 years of study, another 1 years in the intern. If the Department of internal medicine also when the doctor in 3 years; cardiac surgery and other specialist, but doctors in our hospital from 4 to 7 years. Doctors usually work sixty or seventy hours continuously. Ten years, can insist to come down, can become a doctor.

      Medical long, hard occupation training requires students to have wisdom, knowledge, and there is a strong perseverance, stamina, and love mercy, ethical aspects of moral quality.

     Outstanding students may apply for a medical doctor and doctor of philosophy degree, known as MD/PhD. MD, read 4 years, doctor of Philosophy in time depends on the time, 4 to 6 years of doctor of philosophy to the general alone, together with the concept of medical doctor, will reduce some, for a total of seven or eight years, plus 1 years of practice the doctor and 3 years of residency, a total of ten years.

     Read the double degree students, because want to do research, "work", so they can avoid tuition, get enough living subsidies, can need not to concentrate on learning, research.

     Medical college tuition and fees for more than $3 a year, 4 years down, the cost is not a small number. However, if accepted, the money is not a problem, whether it is USA student or a foreign student, will get a bank loan. The doctor is to find work, but also can get high salary, many banks are willing to do this without risk investment.

     Although medicine is very hard, but the rewards are great. General practitioners, to get $100000 a year in salary; if in the big city of big hospital doctors working for the year starting salaries of $2.3 million, is a very common thing.

     In addition to entering school must take the medical college admission test (MCAT), medical students should attend amounted to more than 20 hours America physician licensing examination became the official doctor qualified (USMLS). The examination by the USA Medical Association (Medical Board) host, a total of 3 stages: Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3. Step 1 test time is 8 hours, on the foundation of natural science as the main examination content, including biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physiology and other basic theory knowledge; Step 2 examination time for 9 hours, the main test content is the clinical knowledge with case based; in the third stage of the Step 3 examination, students must first get a doctor degree, and made the intern year. The Step 3 test is a medical, clinical ethics, legal and other comprehensive content.

     Science and technology leading the world's America, actually is a "lack of medicine" of the country, especially the lack of physician. Therefore, America encourage foreign doctors to USA practice. Now, Step 1 and Step 2 examination in the China has, in recent years, more and more Chinese medical school graduates to participate in this examination at home; some China doctor first apply to be a visiting scholar to the United States, to American to participate in the examination.

     In China, high school graduates can directly apply for medical school, so it is USA students omitted at least 4 years bachelor's degree of time, in medicine during the American students may not so hard, more important is not to need to spend very expensive tuition fees, so favored in American physician licensing examination of choice for Chinese medical school many of the students. Chinese medical students can save America medical school in 4 years time, but still have to do 2 years residency and 3 years of residency in America hospital, are eligible to become America qualified doctor, it would take at least 6 years. In American when interns and residents in work, not only do not have to pay tuition fees, have annual salary of $thirty thousand or forty thousand, almost no economic burden. So, after China high school graduates to medical school at home and abroad, and then test the America doctor, is really a "have good prospects of gain".

     Because of the status quo USA "lack of medicine" is more serious, foreigners do not have green card can also American when interns and residents, but also very easy to apply to the right of permanent residence. In America, doctors in this industry basically does not need too fast, too much knowledge update, and more old more valuable. As previously mentioned, medical students to become high-income doctors, also to have to endure hardship thought preparation, because USA doctor workload is amazing.

 

      (2) "money" immeasurable business executives -- MBA MBA

 

     In America, many excellent students dream of a child is reading business school MBA, when executives. American President George? Bush is graduated from Harvard Business school. Secretary of labor Zhao Xiaolan, also completed an MBA from Harvard Business school.

    MBA MBA in recent years has not only America make known to every family "xiangbobo", even in the China, groups of students have been rushed to the goal. The master of business administration MBA English full name is Master of Business Administration. American most business schools are required to apply to read the MBA students have at least 2 years working experience. According to statistics, the average age of admission to Harvard MBA students for 27 years and has 4 years of work experience. At the same time, Harvard Business School in the school Webpage announced every year from the year, will graduate from university students directly to recruit a leadership excellence to students.

     My daughter at Harvard undergraduates do "Harvard student office" (HSA) work, the then director of the office of the president of the students before graduation can be directly admitted to Harvard Business school. HSA has 10 subsidiary companies, is said to the president, when, in addition to reading, a week also have to work 60 hours a day, sleeping in the office, than the average full-time staff are busy, but do the job, have no classes law.
Previously, many people have to read the doctor, but the doctor is not easy to find work. Many companies in the America, power is MBA. A former Hewlett-Packard Co CEO Carly? MS Fiorina is only a master's degree in "super strong," she commanded HP in America 500 companies ranked fifteenth, thousands of MD 140000 employees in, but in her hands free to call me.

     USA business schools to recruit students bachelor's degree major in the choice of MBA students, but with the business management, consulting, financial, finance background work experience or useful. In fact, reading MBA in business school students, many electronic engineer, no experience in enterprise management researchers in chemistry, or doctor, actor, etc..

     Business school admission examination is GMAT -- a test English, logical reasoning and knowledge of basic math examination, perfect score is 800 points. Now, it is well known in the China, countless Chinese students successfully pass the gate, on the road to American Business Academy road. Be admitted USA top schools. The average GMAT score of 700 points, the students bachelor's degree grade point average GPA is about 3.5 points, admission and medical and law school students score difference of 0.2 ~ 0.3. Thus, when schools in enrolling students pay more attention to the experience, rather than the law schools and medical schools that focus on students' learning achievement bachelor's degree.

     Many famous investment banks and Consultants Co often to schools to recruit bachelor's degree graduates, but don't consider their undergraduate major. They also note that for those business school undergraduate program particularly good university graduates, such as University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley, University of Michigan State University, New York University, etc.. These university graduates have the opportunity to graduate in the famous investment banks and Consultants Co.

     In fact, to accept the famous investment banks and Consultants Co working just these students carefully designed the first step, the final goal lies in their accumulated two or three years of work experience to enter the famous school of business, take the MBA degree, and finally to the business to exhibit skill.     

     Be in charge of the enterprise is the dream of many people, but not necessarily need an MBA business executives. It is the "Three Dreams" is not the only must degree can mount guard. But for those who have no family background and do not expect to luck in business school students, MBA is the only way which must be passed in a standardized American society to business executives.

     MBA schools tuition fees a year up to more than 3 dollars, plus living expenses, cost more than $50000. In fact, some schools may have economic difficulties foreign student loans.

     Someone put the study degree called investment, since it is investment, of course it is to return. MBA MBA may be the American society all degrees in most "valuable", the highest rate of return on degree, so that "countless heroes jingzheyao", even has a doctoral degree, also often go back to take the master's degree. Dr. low starting salary of $forty thousand or fifty thousand a year, to $seventy thousand or eighty thousand is one of the few, but the top university graduation in 2004 MBA the average starting salary plus bonus up to $140000, and has a master's degree in the future "money people immeasurable".

     However, behind the MBA beautiful attractive prospects at the same time there is a great potential crisis. I'm USA life 20 years, witnessed USA economy together two fall, see in the economic tide of unemployment and MBA are the first victims were cut. MBA high salary, so they should be cut to reduce the part of operation cost. Since landing the economic fluctuation, MBA job prospects are not optimistic. According to the "American news and World Report" published data, in the past two years, with 5 500 MBA graduates USA ranked in the top 10 business schools each year around, Harvard University and other elite MBA employment rate is only 80%, not to mention the employment situation in MBA. So, read MBA can be said to be a risky investment. The language and cultural background have great differences of foreign students, after reading MBA intends to USA employment, can be said that the prospects are slim. But if in order to learn skills, and looking for the opportunity to return home or start their own businesses, that would be a different matter.

 

      (3) USA "fourth rights": lawyers -- J. D. JD 

 

     In USA, lawyer is a very power groups, some people say that the lawyer is outside the political system in America administrative, judicial, the Council of the three rights of the fourth right. Because the existence of lawyer, to ensure the America law to be implemented, it is their work, plays an important role in the development of USA guarantee and promote the political, economic, scientific, cultural and other aspects of the.

     In America wants to become a lawyer to go to law school, studying for an JD degree, JD is short for Juris Doctor, it is doctor of law. Although the theory in law school and higher than JD degrees, such as the master of law and law science, LLM JSD, however, that almost all the foreign law graduates to read, read the JSD students back to their home countries engaged in teaching and research. No matter what the law school, recruit PhD JD competition is most intense, must take the difficulty the law school admission test, LSAT, and foreign students read LLM and JSD only need toefl. LLM system for only one year, is in fact the two term of eight or nine months, this degree is not competitive in the occupation market, so some foreign students get a degree, to read a JD. Yale University JD students a year tuition is about $36 000, but Dr. reading science JSD, annual tuition fee of just $12 000, but there are scholarships. Because of the lack of market appeal, the school to the idea of ultra low tuition fees to attract foreign students, Harvard Law School at 100% in the 33 law science, science is a foreign student. Obviously, J. D. JD and law science, JSD is basically two routes America and foreign students go. According to USA Lawyers Association published data, in 2003 American and all Canadian law school is awarded only 59 JSD degree, only the equivalent of a large research university a year pH. 1/10.

     Recently, the domestic JD translated as a doctor of law rather than the doctor of law. Do the jurists and lawyers is rigorous, the language should be accurate. In USA read JD degree of Chinese lawyers, no marked doctor of law not on the card and all sorts of public self introduction. Are they for decades are false, deceptive?

     Some people think that, bachelor's degree not learn the law, only three years of legal learning, got JD degree, since there are dedicated to the cultivation of legal teaching and Research Master of law and legal research method, doctor of science, the overwhelming majority of the people received JD degree is a lawyer instead of doing research and teaching, JD is training students' operation of legal practice, students do not have the research ability, not teaching. In fact is not true, most read doctor of law were not engaged in academic research and teaching, they did not, but because they don't want to do! In fact, America law professional journals most papers are written by JD degree.

     At present, the incumbent, Standford, Harvard, Yale, the New York University law school Columbia five, most professors are JD. The five law school dean, also had to "only" JD degree, they when the professor teaching, academic research, papers, monographs, did not affect their academic level America law as a symbol of status. JD degree in law circles and the law circles America are dominant.

     PhD American School of law to recruit is the bachelor's degree candidates, bachelor degree is not restricted, 3 years of schooling. Law school graduates with JD degrees, to participate in the America state law license examination. USA law school also master class, as bachelor's degree of law of foreign students but, foreign students with a master's degree in LLM, only in a minority of state licensing examination, including California and New York, in fact, for most people, there are two states that the license is enough.

     Law school admission test for LSAT. LSAT examination by the USA and Canada 199 law schools. The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) chair, held 4 times a year, including reading comprehension questions, logical reasoning, reasoning and writing 5 parts, a total of 101 questions. Although theoretically can test many times, however, generally good law school says take several exams the average score is accurate, because the result is not good "record" will leave a permanent "bad record", so, students should not be "test". The law school is the most emphasis on test scores in American all admitted to graduate and professional school, so LSAT is the result of the admission process is crucial factor. This point is more reflected in a top school, is not guaranteed to be admitted, but poor grades would be eliminated. LSAT examination in 170 points above the High Sublevel each question about 1 points, often one or two points may decide the fate of a person, sometimes is the nuances of the students can decide which school, but not which school, the examination and admission process is very cruel. And other general graduate school and School of business on the GRE and GMAT scores is loose, compared study, work experience to students, doctor of law. This condition is very harsh, the fierce competition is remarkable.

     Law school is very hard, the students in class every day and learning together time of 12 hours or more, but also can not be like the PhD PhD so, can according to their own situation to adjust the learning plan, extension of time, the law school is 3 years, automatically out behind the schedule. Students there is a word "well": "the first year was scared to death." Because the beginning can't finish the book and not finish reading the case, some students had been away in the first year or the first semester of the first few weeks.

     Law school tuition is very high, especially the top private law school, an annual tuition of about $40000, not including the cost of living. Most top schools are no scholarships, but foreign students and minority students may get a partial scholarship. Prestigious law school will help students get a large amount of loans easily.

     Law school if you can find opportunities during the summer to the famous large law firm words, returns will be very high. Big law firms pay very norms, between the salary gap is not. "Walter 100 top law firm guidelines" have employee salary detailed data on each law firm. The top law firms in summer students work with wages are high, up to 2 400 dollars per week, low weekly also have a $1 800. The top law school in strength, good in the first year students, summer vacation is to find a job, a summer vacation can earn $twenty thousand or thirty thousand, can make the burden of tuition fees.

     The typical polarized College of law and lawyers very. The school and non school was born, after graduation in the large firms and small firms, private enterprise or working for the government, the income difference is very big, but this difference will be increasing over time. Graduates starting salary for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year; non elite schools may be lower than $forty thousand or fifty thousand, may not find work, live hard, not to mention looking for summer work during learning.

     China was many years ago by LSAT examination, Chinese university graduate students can pass the exam LSAT apply directly to the America read JD. In recent years, more and more students to America China to learn the law, they test the license, in American as a lawyer, had a good day. Some have returned to Chinese, adding USA bar where China division work, make contributions to the Sino US economic and cultural. Undergraduate law graduate students China University, have certain legal work experience, can come to American read law Master LLM, after graduation can also be in a few state test license. However, the LLM degree in America lawyers on the market competitiveness is weak, so many foreign students to get the LLM, and then go to a high value of JD.
