QI am a future senior in college, majoring in Math and Economics. I am also interested in finance, and this summer working as an intern on the trading floor of a large investment bank. Do you have any ideas of topics for a thesis that would combine my knowledge in these fields? The thesis will be written, though, for my Economics major. How could I use my internship to gather data or get ideas for my thesis? I would like my thesis to be quantitative and use a lot of data and econometric tools. Perhaps a model or an algorithm... Also, do you know sources such as jornals or articles that would help me get ideas and learn about how to structure and write a thesis?Yes, the bank is publicly traded.

QI'm training an intern at work and she is not familiar with Photoshop at all. I need some good sites or tutorials for her to look at. She needs to learn what the tools do, how to navigate her palettes, why she SHOULDN'T over-use the filters & blending options, etc. They need to be step-by-step, she's very insecure about the whole process (as I was in the beginning). Aside from just getting in there and playing with the program, are there any helpful websites/tutorials for beginning photoshop users? THANKSThanks ... online resources would be more helpful, if you know of any.Thanks everyone ... these are some great resources, but I'm talking SUPER beginner stuff, like how to use the pen tool/ what the marquee does, etc. I know all this stuff but for me to teach her will take much more time than I have.

For example, during my freshman year of high school I was assigned to attend a learning center class three days a week because teachers determined that extra help with my homework and test-taking skills would be a benefit to me. By the end of my freshman year, however, a reevaluation revealed that I no longer required extra assistance. My diligence and sustained efforts to adopt the learning center’s problem solving strategies were successful and provided me with the valuable tools necessary to apply towards my studies. This just proves that when I encounter any difficult tasks, my hard work and determination will help me achieve concrete results. Second, during my junior year, I faced certain medical challenges that impacted my academic life and temporarily deterred me from maximizing my potential both as a student and as an athlete. In October of 2007, my cardiologist advised me to cease all physical activity until further notice because I had an abnormally enlarged heart and was diagnosed with pre-hypertension. As a result, I was not able to complete the cross-country season and was restricted to homebound activities. This was a difficult time for me. Nonetheless, my resilience and optimism helped me maintain a positive outlook about my condition. For example, I focused my energy on other things including schoolwork and improving my second quarter grades. In March, my doctor gave the clearance allowing me to once again participate in physical activity. Despite having only a short amount of time to prepare for my cross-country season, I was able to improve my running times–a feat that I achieved exclusively through dedication and determination since I was committed to putting in extra time at the track to get myself back into shape. Although during my junior year I was dealing with the added stress placed on me by my unexpected medical crises, I remained hopeful and was able to stay focused towards my academic goals. After being cleared to run, I pursued my running goals with the same vigor as I demonstrated in the classroom. My secrets to overcoming any challenge, whether it was big or small, have been my focus, commitment and hard work.I sent Northeastern an email and ask them about the interview and they said that they dont do interviews but if you come for a visit you can talk to an admissions counselor. Would that be a good idea in my situation. This is what i plan on doing. I know im writing alot but i want advice because i feel that i am a viable candiate for Northeastern. I plan on going to visit northeastern to get to talk to the admissions counselor, i plan on writing a letter which i'll let you guys see it later, im tryin my best in school to get above a 91 from my first quarter grade senior year, i want to send them an email with my new accomplishments. Currently i want to major in accounting and i was selected as the chief financial officer of a student run business and i plan on applying as a position such as vice president or treasurer for a decca position. If i am able to do these things i feel that i would have an advantage. Should i be thinking this?

QI saw an advertisement online, I contacted the guy about an intership working in a web marketing place. Not sure of the company name. I thought I would need to bring a portfolio or something but he said to bring nothing just dress professional. I was supposed to drive to a town that's an hour away from where I'm at and meet at the holiday inn. He gave me a number to call when I get there so he can find me. I sent in a letter and he didn't ask me any questions, just said he had an opening tomorrow at 6:30. Here's what the ad said.Working closely with members from Web center’s team, the marketing/web intern provides support for web applications.1. under the direction of the, the marketing/web intern will have a web center to report to which is responsibility for company’s home page.2.

QI have a 3.875 unweighted GPA. My SAT Score is 2000Class President (Junior Year)Junior Varsity Softball playerI took about 8 AP/honor courses throughout my high school career (Received an A in 6, and a B in 2) I'm not sure what that would make my weighted GPAI took about 4 AP exams (AP French:5 AP Biology: 4, AP Chem: 5 AP US HISTORY: 5)I interned/volunteered at a hospital in Cairo, Egypt for 200+ hours (where I spent a summer)I started a Haiti fundraiser at my school and raised 400 dollars.I began a small business (I make organic beauty products like soap and lotion and sell them at the farmer's market near my house)I started a baking club at my school ( we make food and sell it at games and we donate half of the profit to charity and use the other half to buy ingredients and tools and etc..)I also play the guitar and have been playing it for about 3 years. I received 2 scholastic art and writing awards (1 gold/1 silver)I'm African American (don't know if that helps any)Anyways, I'm nearing the end of my junior year and I have no idea where I can apply and actually get accepted. My parents have a really low income (1 unemployed and the other a part time secretary) which is why I started my "business" in the first place (it raises enough money to buy groceries and such). So because of that I really need financial aid. I'd like to go to a good college because I've worked hard for it my entire high school career. I'd probably major in psychology or chemistry and I'd like to be a pre-med student. I'd like to go to a top tier school like Stanford or Brown but I also don't know much about these schools. My ideal school would have the big campus feeling with small classes where I can actually enjoy learning. I spent a lot of time in high school just trying to get a good grade and not caring about the information but in college I want to change that. I heard a lot about liberal arts colleges which sounds interesting but a friend of mine went to a liberal art school and hated it because it was so small and felt a lot like high school. Anyway does anyone have any idea what might be a good match school would be for me as well as a few reaches. Thanks so much.
