Once you have your degree, you can begin to look for a paying job as an accounting.

These jobs give you an opportunity to not only improve your understanding of accounting, but also to understand the business sector in which you are working. There are paid business accounting positions for those without a four year degree.

These positions give you experience with a range of routine financial tasks, such as assisting with payroll, accounts payable or inventory.  Also, you may generate documents used in financial transactions, such as purchase orders or invoices.  You would work under the supervision of an accountant or business manager in the company. Some companies may offer tuition assistance to allow you to pursue your bachelor’s degree. Some colleges and universities may grant you credit for your work experience in these jobs.

SUMMARY: Get an accounting internship. Get an entry-level job. Get a job without a degree.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is the summation of your laboratory test results that determines your likelihood of having insulin resistance. Because insulin resistance is tested for by a variety of indirect measurements (such as testing blood glucose levels as well as blood lipid levels), it is the combination of these various test results that leads to the ultimate diagnosis of insulin resistance.  If you have elevated blood glucose levels, elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and reduced HDL cholesterol, you most likely have insulin resistance. It is important to book an appointment with your doctor to go over all of your test results. Your doctor is the one with the medical training and experience to officially make the diagnosis of insulin resistance. Your doctor can read and interpret the test results, and together you can come up with a treatment plan if necessary. In addition to laboratory tests, there are also signs and symptoms that may be suggestive of insulin resistance. These include:  Obesity Increased waist circumference Increased thirst Increased urination Fatigue Blurry vision or other vision problems You may be wondering: Who should get tested for insulin resistance? If you have clinical signs and symptoms of insulin resistance (described above), you should speak to your doctor about getting tested.  If you are over 45, you are eligible for routine screening of your blood sugars (one of the indirect ways to assess for insulin resistance). If your results are normal upon initial testing, you are eligible for repeat screening tests every three years. You are also eligible for screening tests for insulin resistance if you have any of the following risk factors: a BMI (body mass index) greater than 25 (i.e. if you are overweight), a sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, a history of heart disease, a history of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), if you have a close relative who has been diagnosed with diabetes, and/or if you have delivered a baby who weighed over 9 pounds at the time of birth (a larger than normal baby is an indication that you may have poor blood sugar control). People may ask: Why do we worry about insulin resistance? The answer is because insulin resistance is part of a constellation of health issues that very often go hand-in-hand. If you have one, you are more likely to have (or to develop) the others, because the risk factors for each of these ongoing health conditions are very similar and often overlapping. It is worth talking to your doctor about health conditions that insulin resistance increases your risk of having, including:  Heart disease High blood pressure Diabetes Liver disease Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Summary: Talk to your doctor about all of your test results to draw a conclusion about insulin resistance. Evaluate for signs and symptoms of insulin resistance. Get screened for insulin resistance. Talk to your doctor about the risks that insulin resistance can predispose you to.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may want to comment to show your appreciation, or ask questions. The autistic community is an autistic place, but friendly visitors are always welcome.   It is okay to share articles or retweet/reblog things you found in the #actuallyautistic tag. (You may wish to mention that you aren't autistic, though, so people don't get confused.) It's okay to say that an article helped you, or that you agree. It's okay to ask questions. However, autistic people are not search engines, so they are not obligated to provide an answer. Remember, there are plenty of allies who participate in discussions and write autism-related posts! While plenty of autistic people are happy to help, some questions ("Do autistic people have bellybuttons too?") seem a little obvious or demeaning. If you have a question, search the internet for a few minutes first, because the answer might be readily available. Like all subcultures, the autistic community has some unwritten etiquette guidelines. Here some insider tips regarding things to avoid:    Avoid posting in the #ActuallyAutistic tag if you aren't autistic. It was developed specifically for autistic people to discuss things, without non-autistics interrupting. Non-autistics can post in the #autism, #AskingAutistics, and #AskAnAutistic tags.  Respect all autistic people. All autistics, regardless of ability, deserve dignity and respect. Your average autistic person wants respect for everyone, including people who are more capable than they are, and people who need more help than they do.  Don't assume you understand someone else's struggles. Never dismiss someone as being "articulate" or "too high-functioning" to understand what "real autism" is like. You don't know what that person might go through on a daily basis, and they may face serious issues. Furthermore, even if their life is fairly good, that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to have opinions, or that they haven't listened to autistic people who have it worse.  Remember not to take venting personally. Sometimes, autistics may talk about bad experiences they've had, and possibly make generalizations in the heat of the moment. Just like it's rude to say "Not all men!" or "Not all white people!" saying "Not all NTs" or "Not all therapists!" only derails the conversation and makes it about your feelings. If you don't do the bad thing they're talking about, then it's not about you. If you do the thing, then you can use this information to re-evaluate your behavior. Allies are welcome, and autistic people can always use a hand in organizing events, finding resources, or simply educating the community. If you see autistic people organizing something, feel free to ask "Can I help?" or "May I join you?" Some autistic writers have articles written specifically for how you can help your loved ones and be a great ally. Never be afraid to ask for tips!  Feel free to check out other autism articles on wikiHow, like How to Relate to an Autistic Person and How to Understand Autism.

SUMMARY:
Realize that it is okay to join most discussions. Use a search engine for basic questions. Be aware of general etiquette. Don't be afraid to help out! Look for resources written for non-autistic people.
