Changing careers

Dear Queenie,

When I started college I thought I wanted to be a doctor and I took the required pre-med courses. But I also got into a tutoring program for high school kids and now I think I really want to be a teacher.

Queenie, how do I explain to my parents that I want to switch from pre-med to teaching courses? And how will this affect my study financing?—Changing careers

Undecided

Dear Queenie,

I live alone and I’ve been thinking about getting a pet, a dog or a cat to keep me company, but I worry about how I would feel if anything happened to the animal like if it just got old and died. And I’m getting on in years myself; what would happen to it if I died – how could I be sure it would be taken care of?

Queenie, what’s your opinion?—Undecided

Worried aunt

Dear Queenie,

My sister’s children are so spoiled!

They have a tantrum if things aren’t just the way they want, like if they don’t like the food that’s being served or they can’t have some toy that some other child is playing with, and they never do anything to help out like make their own beds or help clear the table after dinner or pick up their toys when they’re done playing with them.

And their parents never do one thing to discipline them.

Queenie, what’s going to become of kids like that?—Worried aunt
