Let me start this post off by stating I surely have nothing against nursing.  I have the utmost respect for a man or woman called to that profession and we certainly all need nurses, and as the US population ages we will need more and more.
However, sending a child to nursing school has become one [...]

One of the issues that stops many families with children from moving to the Philippines is the perception that they can’t get a good education for their children there .

There re a LOT of computer-oriented schools in the Philippines and it’s [...]

A lot of people search for and ask me direct questions on Art Schools in the Philippines.  Most art school candidates in the US never think of the Philippines when it comes to school but there can be some real advantages to attending school here.  The Philippines is a world center of art talent, especially in the [...]
