A woman can never have enough bags, scarves, jewellery and accessories. Get her a stylish item of clothing or a classic purse. Or what about a cashmere sweater or even a cashmere blanket? Or you could get something for her house, like a vase or fancy table cloth. Or you could get her a book or buy her a membership card at a yoga center or spa.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
