3 tips to ﬁnding the right graduate program Graduate school allows college graduates the chance to intensify their studies as they pursue advanced degrees. Many professions require advanced degrees, but students may enroll in graduate school for various reasons, including their own intellectual curiosity and the chance to improve their earning potential. Choosing a graduate program is an important decision that can impact students’ career prospects and financial futures. According to Peterson’s Real Guide to Colleges and Universities, the average annual tuition for a graduate program at a public university is $30,000, while graduate students at private universities can expect to pay nearly $40,000 each year. Such figures illustrate just how important it is for prospective graduate students to find the right schools for them. 1. Conduct exhaustive research. Because the cost of graduate school is so substantial, students

should be extra diligent when researching potential grad schools. Gather as much information about each school as possible, even contacting department heads and/ or professors to learn if a given program is best for you. Graduate programs tend to be specialized, so make sure each school you’re considering offers exactly what you’re seeking. For example, graduate programs in history may specialize in a particular period of history. As a result, students who want to pursue graduate degrees in history must find the program that allows them to study the period that most interests them. Finding such programs requires extensive research, so students must afford themselves ample time. grads to be candid, asking them about their experiences as grad 2. Speak to current students and students and, for recent grads, recent graduates. how they fared in the job market Current students and recent after earning their degrees. Don’t graduates can provide a unique discount the latter, as grad school perspective that prospective grad is an investment of time, energy students won’t get from brochures and money, and that should lead or online research, no matter how to professional fulfillment upon exhaustive that research might graduating. be. Encourage students and recent

prospective grad students may want to change their plans if the cost of obtaining an advanced degree will greatly affect their financial freedom for years to come. Students worried about their post-grad school earning potential may want to choose less expensive programs so they can still pursue their degrees without mortgaging their financial futures.

3. Be realistic about your ﬁnances. While many people enroll in graduate programs to improve their earning potential, some students may not enjoy that benefit. The cost of grad school varies depending on the school and the program, but

Graduate school requires a substantial investment of time, energy and money. Prospective grad students should do everything possible to ensure they invest in the grad school that best suits their particular needs.

SECTION Birds for ﬁrst-time bird owners Birds are friendly, loyal and intelligent pets that can learn to replicate human speech and interact with their owners in very unique ways. Such attributes have helped make birds increasingly popular pets.

particularly for first-time bird owners, because of their amenable personalities. Before getting a feathered friend, prospective owners are urged to learn about bird care, including researching the type of caging, exercise, food, and attention required to care for birds. This education can help bird lovers find companions who will get the care they deserve.

Interest in pet birds has risen, as statistics from the American Pet Products Association National Pet Owners Survey 2017-2018 show that 7.9 million American households have pet birds, and roughly 20 million birds reside in homes across the country.

Conures Conures are social and outgoing and love to hang out with people. They tend to be loud birds, so owners should keep this in mind. Conures can live 20 to 30 years, so they require a lengthy commitment. Mental stimulation is important to a conure so it doesn’t get bored and begin to pluck feathers. Toys, foraging puzzles and time outside of the cage can help keep conures healthy and happy. Canaries Canaries are another type of bird that can be watched instead of cuddled. They’re popular thanks to their prolific, operatic songs. Some are even bred to perform specific songs. When properly provided for, canaries can live from five to 10 years. Those interested in pet birds can speak with employees at local pet stores or avian specialty shops to get detailed guidelines on caring for these increasingly popular pets.

SUMME R 201 8 on Thursday, September 27 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm for a special presentation. Between 1840 and 1930, approximately one million FrenchCanadians immigrated to the United States, the vast majority settling in New England. In Southbridge, Massachusetts a century ago, when state representative Félix Gatineau published his important chronicle of the town’s Franco-American community, French-speaking immigrants and their American-born children represented 60% of the town’s population!

Women in Business Announces September Luncheon SOUTHBRIDGE - Woman in Business, Inc. (WIB), a Sturbridgearea support group of dynamic women of all types of careers, has announced its September luncheon. Held Wednesday, September 12 at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center, the informative session will focus on the “Me, Too” movement -- what employers are doing, what employees should know, and what changes are happening on a state and national level. #MeToo spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag used on social media in an attempt to demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. Since then, it is a topic that countless women have responded to with their own stories and experiences. It also launched a movement that continues to call out and bring down men in all spheres of business and politics, who are

Having tax regrets? Here are 5 ways to pay less and save more on your taxes (BPT) - Most of us know the feeling: Tax season can be a frustrating and stressful time. You have to gather lots of documents, remember all the changes in your life over the past year that might affect your return, and file the required paperwork before tax day rolls around. And while you do all of that, there's always that nagging feeling: Did you take advantage of all the deductions and credits the IRS has to offer? Is there more you can do to prevent taxes from eroding the value of your investment portfolio and eating away at your income? Are you prepared for the changes that are coming due to the new tax law? Like thousands of others, you might be experiencing a "tax hangover," that sense of regret that you overlooked some fine detail, that you could have paid less and ended up with more money in your pocket. The truth is: Your taxes shouldn't be top of mind just once a year. Tax planning is an important part of overall financial planning, and there are things you can do now to

That means you can no

However, the Child Tax Credit, which previously only applied to low-income taxpayers, is now available to taxpayers with much higher incomes. If you have dependent children on your tax return, you need to be aware of how this switch from dependency exemptions to tax credits will affect you. 5. Plan ahead. Taxes aren't something you do once a year. Set aside time with your financial advisor to do some tax planning exercises and make sure you are paying the lowest amount possible over the next few years. This includes forecasting your income and planning out when it would make more sense to itemize versus taking the standard deduction. This allows you to decide when to have elective medical procedures or increase your charitable giving, while still minimizing your tax burden. Everyone has different financial goals and is in a unique financial situation - and taxes are a key part of the equation. By speaking with a personal financial advisor now, you can plan ahead and ensure the next tax season doesn't end in another tax hangover.
