Q. What martial arts helps prepare you mentally before you have to defend yourself? What martial arts instills confidence that you can take whoever tries to attack you (or at least hold your own)?

A. I agree with everyone saying it is up to the individual to have confidence in themselves, but they also MUST have confidence in their art too. If someone is very confident in their physical capabilities but not in the techniques they are using then their fight confidence will surely suffer. If you just want to know how to fight and stay composed and cerebral I would recommend a mix of Muay Thai kickboxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Muay Thai is a devastating stand up style, and it does not take a long time to develop good street effective fundamentals. Like all martial arts the complex techniques, and understanding of actually fighting takes a lot more time. If you learn bjj as well, you will have the confidence to handle yourself on… [cont.]

What's the difference between culinary arts and baking?
Q. I really like making cakes and things, and I want a future that involves that. I looked at some University things and was wondering what the difference between baking and culinary arts is, like, isn't culinary arts just food in general? And which one is more successful in the world? Do bakers get paid more than cooks? And is there a chance to travel?

A. basically culinary arts involves cooking, not baking. you should take a pastry course if you want to learn more about cake making, and baking in general. as for salary, it kind of depends on how good you are and where you live, and the travel opportunities...that's kind of up to you

Is a liberal arts education at a private college really worth the price? What do employers look for?
Q. Would a liberal arts education at a public college be any less grand?

A. If I was hiring and you gave me your resume listing a liberal arts education I would consider it a mark against you! I would consider a high school graduate who worked at a fast food place as being the better employee. Liberal arts degree means to me: You have led a sheltered and pampered life, took the easy way out and spent more time partying that learning. You abused limited educational resources while more motivated, intelligent and hard working poor people were denied the opportunity you waisted.
