The Top Gadgets for Students

In today’s ever-changing technology world, business professionals as well as students want to have gadgets that make daily life easier. Gadgets such as smartphones, digital cameras, and tablets, come in quite handy for business, for learning, and for pleasure.

We, the staff of MyCareerTools, a website about GED classes, advise students to use gadgets as much as possible. They are not helpful, maybe, but can make routine tasks fun.

However, it’s hard to figure out which ones to buy. That’s where this list comes in. These items can be purchased for not much money, especially at sites like Newegg. So, what are the top 3 gadgets on the market for business professionals? You’re about to find out.

Samsung Galaxy Note

The Galaxy Note is basically a hybrid-both smartphone and tablet computer. Needless to say, it’s one of the hottest gadgets on the market right now. First off, the Galaxy Note has a 1.6 GHZ dual-core processor with 16 GB of memory, which can be expanded to 32 GB.

It currently runs on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system but will be upgraded to the newer Android operating system very soon. There are also the standard features on any phone or tablet computer – a 2-megapixel camera on the front and an 8-megapixel camera on the back. Whatever you use it for; this gadget has the respect of its competitors because of its features, which are many.

The story of moving to the USA

As some of you may or may not know, I was set to fly over to the United States of America (more specifically to the state of Oregon) a little more than a week ago.

In other words: I made it, but only barely…

Off to a shaky start

On August 11th, my parents, brothers, and I drove over to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. My family had decided they all wanted to see me off to the USA and so we went, all together.

After a 15-minute walk from the parking lot, we got to the main hall of the airport, and I was again overwhelmed by the number of people there. Just like last year. Schiphol Airport is truly a metropolis in its own right, the center is so big that I imagine one could find everything he/she needs in his life there. All in all, I always find it to be very imposing.

Sustainable Jobs: Places to Put Your Green Degree to Use

The first sustainability degree was offered by Arizona State’s School of Sustainability in 2007. Seven years later, many major universities have created their own programs. These sustainability degrees can fall under nearly every academic discipline, from history to engineering and are offered as majors, minors, or even masters degrees.

However, this broad scope can sometimes make it difficult to narrow down your options in the business world. Here are four areas of business where your green degree sets you apart.

Design

From interior decorating to high fashion, the green movement has made its mark. The movement has revolutionized the materials and processing in industrial fields, and enhanced the recycling actions in others.

Whether your interest lies with solar-powered, self-sustaining houses, or fashionable and comfortable clothing created from recyclables, the design world is a great place for you to use your education in other fields, such as engineering and urban planning, hand in hand.
