Stephy
so am home schooled and well i need some more ideas for home school classes and elective classess
Answer
Elective ideas:
*sewing, cooking, nutrition, or other forms of "Home Economics"
*woodworking, electrical work, home repairs, or other forms of "shop" or "Industrial Arts"
*keyboarding, business communications
*various sports (swimming, basketball, personal fitness, weight training, etc.)
*computer programming
*family life or practical living (learning about various aspects of having a family: child care, finding a spouse, budgeting, practical problem solving, income taxes, personal finances, etc.)
*business math, or accounting
*some particular branch of a required subject (such as marine biology rather than just science, or Science Fiction Literature rather than English, or the Elizabethan Period rather than history)
*a hobby studied in detail (For example: learn to knit while studying the history of knitting, how to read patterns, different stitch designs, make a sampler of stitches and then knit some items and perhaps participate in a volunteer project involving knitting, and call it something pretentious like "Fiber Arts")
*a foreign language (something modern and highly useful such as Spanish, something off the beaten path like Chinese or Arabic, or something ancient like Hebrew or Greek or Latin)
*child development
*something worthwhile right now (such as spend a lot of time involved in a charity, helping some worthy cause, if you want, do research on the cause, the history of the charitable organization, organize an event for the group, etc.)
*something worthwhile for your future (come up with a career or such that might be of interest to you and figure out a way to spend time learning about it; research it, find someone in the field who will allow you to volunteer as an intern or "go-fer" for them in order to learn more about the field and whether you really want to pursue it, and perhaps even make contacts that might someday help you get a job)
*drama (especially good if you can find a theater group to work with)
*music, band, choir
*art (general or more specific such as sketching, water colors, art history, or ceramics)

I would like to design and build my home. What kind of income would this entail?
Ese
Ever since I've taken an interest in residential architecture, I've been picky about home designs, and figured the best way to go would be to have a self-designed home somewhere in my future time line.
I'm thinking of a dome house of sorts: Eco-friendly and off-beat. As well as trying to implement technologies such as radiant floor heating, photovoltaic arrays (solar panels), and a centralized computer automation/energy management/home theatre system.
Pretty much just an elegant, modern, unique home implementing energy-saving and money-saving ideas.
What kind of income and payment would self-built homes entail? Considering I'm going into engineering, would a $70-100k salary allow me to pursue this dream? Would a significant portion of the home value need to already be saved ahead of time?
You don't have to answer all of these, just whatever you feel you know.
Ah, location. Certainly not California. I was thinking:
>In the plains outside Chicago
>The mountains in Colorado
>Texas because i lake a more arid climate
>Stay with my German roots and my family and keep to the Midwest.
Answer
There are magazines and other sources that provide approximate cost per square foot for various types of houses (although maybe not as modern as what you describe).
Your salary should be enough (depending on location) and certainly the more you save up before starting, the better. Banks will make loans after some to most of the house is built so that they have an interest in something besides a dream - - so you might have a lean year in the checkbook while your house is being built. Good luck.
