There are quite a few, and many local/state competitions. The best thing to do is to speak to your high school college counselor to find out what is available in your area. They should know. A little info, there is more, Google.

Yes, there is a GREAT survival school and the admission is free. The United States Army, The United States Marine Corps are two of the best. Both have been building character for over 200 years.
2 :
Sure! As many forests, rivers, and canyons there is in the U.S.A, there has to be a survival school. But many of them are weeks long, intense, not for children, and cost a lot. But there is probably a survival school in a church, school, or maybe for your kids, scouts! I don't know, maybe you could google it?
3 :
Probably not one you want to enroll a child in. They seem to be either run by militia organizations or the far right wing. There are some organizations that run schools that use wilderness schools to development self image and self acceptance. One is Outward Bound and if you live on either coast or the Great Lakes, you could check out sail training programmes that also do this kind of work..
4 :
yea they do
5 :
There are survival *courses*, but are you talking about tough-love programs where they dump kids in the desert and then wonder why one or two get heat stroke and die?

From my Japanese Friend: most japanese schools are strict. i have been to Tokyo. not every school [has uniforms] but most of them have school uniform it is common thing for school. of course some of the japanese schools don't have uniform. (Her English is getting better) I know that you have to help clean up your school at the end of classes every day then you go home to eat dinner and after that you might go to night classes... just like Korea or China... very Sucsess orientated US Schools are way more relaxed...

it depends...are you looking for popularity or success? because Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts is popular... but Juilliard School is extreamly successfull but also hart to get into
2 :
There's no such school; sorry. I'm sure other respondents will list the "usual suspects" of actor training programs: Julliard, NYU, Carnegie-Mellon, etc. But, the bad news is that NONE of those schools guarantees you anything. Ultimately, you'll walk into auditions and directors and/or casting directors will ask to see your WORK...not your diploma. The best acting school for YOU is the one at which you'll get the best possible training. And that's something you won't know until you get out there and investigate dozens of different options. You need to write letters, pay visits to campuses, talk to professors, sit in on classes, talk to current and former students of those programs, etc. Find the faculty you CONNECT with; the ones that you truly believe can move you forward. That's the school for you. Oh, and by the way...don't leave the Professional Theatre Training Program at the University of Delaware off your list; they're the best.
3 :
Schools do not trigger your success, they train you as a performer. It is up to you and your agent to trigger your success. Schools give you the tools to become an actor, the rest is up to you. You don't want the most popular school. You want the school that has a staff of EXCELLENT acting teachers that consistently produce well-trained actors!

Is it better for an Indian child to go to school in India or the USA? Which system is better
Is it better for an Indian child to go to school in India or the USA? Which system is better?
From grade 1-12, the Indian educational system seems to be much stronger than the US system. Is it a nobrainer to send a child to a good school in India, rather than a public school in the US? Agree? Disagree?

its 50/50 why is because if the child goes to skool in india it with teach em their culture and origin. but the u.s is more advanced...so they will learn more. (no offence to anyone)
2 :
i disagree, little fatty-(chotumotu). not a nobrainer, you also have to think about the different lifestyles,people,oppurtunities, etc
3 :
the American education sucks, k-12, the government doesn't really care, they can't even pay the teachers a decent wage, I'm not a teacher, i have been to a foreign school-great Britain, the difference is night and day, and i was just in elementary school at the time. why do you think foreigners come to America for college, because its a breeze, so easy for them.
4 :
if they speak indian only indian school if they speak both lang u pick and if they only speak english usa school. hope it helps
5 :
If you have a choice now, keep the child(ren) in school in India. The schooling is so much better there in a good school. Much more advanced than here in the USA. 6 days a week is better than 5 any day. Plus, they teach english as a first language, si when the time comes to move here, they will be that much further ahead as well. And the respect I get from people there, or from there is far beyond the respect here(if any). I agree with you 100 percent.

What are some careers in which one can earn $50 K / year (USA) without going to school for a long time?
I need to make more money, but I'm in my 30's and don't want to spend another 4 years of my life in school. Any ideas?

4 :
Real Estate or Auto sales if you're good at selling. A business owner can earn that much or more, if they have the right product/service.
5 :
Almost any "commission only" sales job where you are selling a good product people need will allow you to write your own check. And the only skills you need are honesty & knowledge of your product and your competitors' products. Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, and go be a car salesman. Anyone walking into a car dealership has already decided to buy a car; If you help them find what they want (instead of trying to talk them into what your manager thinks they should buy) you will close the sale. And you can do that as often as you want until you have all the money you want. The same is true of real estate. Things may be slow now, but people will always need somewhere to live. Good luck. (You might also consider making the same money you are now, but spending less. That's a much easier way to amass a fortune. Trust me!)

I don't know, but when you find out please text me and let me know. Thanks.

Work at a plant (chemical, food, a refinery) as an operator. They make great money, especially with overtime.
9 :
Go to a technical school for about a year and learn a trade. Welding, air conditioning, plumbing, electrician, milwright, they all make well over 50 grand a year. You may have to get a little dirt on your hands and sweat on your brow, but it's well worth it. All of these fields are in demand, and it won't slow down.
