Any person seeking a career in graphic design is presented with their option of educational programs that focus on their career. These people can choose to earn a certificate, an associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree or extend their education into a graduate program. Of course, no matter which program they decide on, there will be advantages and disadvantages. The one that will help you meet your own career goals is the program that you should choose. So that you can make that choice, this article will compare several features of associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs.

There is a common misconception among employers that any person with an associate is most likely to be less intelligent than one with a bachelor degree. Although this stereotype is extremely unfair and completely inaccurate, it is universal. Really speaking, it is not a correct evaluation and it is unfair, but there it is and that’s how it will remain. If you are a holder of an associate degree and your competitor for the job is a person with a bachelor’s degree, there’s a good likelihood of the job or project being awarded to the other person. When candidates are equals in all aspects of their employability, the candidate with the superior education will always be chosen as the best individual for the job.

Career: You will spend less time in school and more time making money if you get an associate degree, and you will most likely be able to get the same job you would with a bachelors degree if you so choose to enter the field with an associate.

Price: It is less expensive to get an associate degree than it is to get a bachelor’s degree. Some of the difference is the amount to time spent in school; less time in school is less money spent.

Pursuing either an associate degree or a bachelor’s degree in graphic design will allow you to embark on a stimulating career and keep up with emerging technologies.

Have you ever wanted to lock your teacher, coach, boss, youth pastor or other authority figure up in jail? A jail and bail fundraiser may be your chance to do just that while raising money for your group at the same time.

This is a great way to raise money for most any type of organization. Some department stores have even done a version of this event to raise money for a local charity. There is very little investment, and all you need is one person who is willing to be locked up for the cause.

The person selected to be placed in jail must remain locked up until a certain amount of money is raised. Some groups have worked with the local sheriff’s office and had their representative locked up in an actual jail cell (safely away from other inmates), but you don’t have to go that far to have an effective event.

One local store manager climbed onto the roof of his store. He wasn’t allowed to come down until $10,000 had been collected for a local charity. Other groups construct a jail cell out of plywood. They set the “jail” in a spot where there will be many people passing by that they can talk to about their cause.

While this event works for most any group, it’s especially effective when the group has a popular leader. There is something memorable about seeing your beloved coach or favorite teacher locked up. It not only helps raise more money, but it also makes for a more memorable event. Pretty girls do well as jailbirds also. Some guys just can’t resist a damsel in distress.

Another way to build excitement is to have a girl in one makeshift jail cell and a guy in another one nearby and have a contest to see who can raise the most money by a certain time. The winner gets released early.

Because of the playful and unique nature of this event, it makes a great local news story. While some fundraisers lend themselves to stories done before the event, this particular event is best covered as it happens. If you’re trying to get some press coverage to get the name and cause of your group out there, this is a good option.

What you’ll need:

• A willing “inmate”. Someone who is willing to sit in “jail” for a day or until the set amount of money is raised.
• A location. You’ll need someplace to set up your jail. A high traffic area is best, so that your inmate can appeal to those walking by to donate.

Once you hold a jail and bail fundraiser it’s sure to be an event that your group will want to do again and again. This is a great way to raise money, especially if your group has lost excitement over traditional events such as candy fundraisers.
