Desperate Job Seekers Continue To Fall Prey To Work-At-Home Scams

By David Schepp • Posted Jul 26th 2012 @ 9:00AM

For many unemployed Americans, the need to find a job, any job, has made them susceptible to con artists promising easy riches through work-at-home schemes and similar frauds.

They include Barbara Beatteay, a 58-year-old cancer patient and stroke survivor who was unemployed, bankrupt and struggling to pay medical bills when she answered what she thought was a legitimate ad to work from home as an administrative assistant.

Can you share with us your educational background and the degrees you have earned?

I am equipped with a Bachelor of Science degree from Florida International University, having completed three programs in the three years I spent there: (1) Philosophy, (2) Criminal Justice, and (3) Professional Leadership Studies. I also hold a Juris Doctor degree from University of Miami School of Law.

Why did you choose this educational plan?

I had determined that I wanted to be a lawyer when I was a freshman in high school. Criminal law was my initial point of interest so I chose to pursue the study of criminal justice. In an effort to challenge my thought process, I elected the study of philosophy to practice non-traditional thinking to sharpen the skill of creative reasoning. The professional leadership studies avenue of study was fueled by my inborn curiosity of self-discovery and passion to help others unmask their individual skills, leading them to realize the method to the madness behind working as a harmonious unit under any circumstances or obstacles presented.

That’s great advice for choosing a school.  Many students choose largely on reputation.  There are many students out there considering law school.  Could you briefly describe the qualities you think made you successful at UM and in law school in general?

Well, it is important to acknowledge that law school is a very humbling experience. The traditional Socratic method of teaching can really chip away at one's confidence - if he or she allows. I believe a thirst for knowledge sets a strong foundation to welcome challenges and entertain such challenges to the benefit of personal and/or professional growth and development.

Explore Being a Marine Scientist

cz: Briefly describe your job.

I am a marine natural products chemist in a postdoctoral research position in the country of Panama. My research uses ecologically guided marine collection techniques to collect cyanobacteria for screening in biological assays for tropical diseases and cancer. We then extract the marine specimens, perform pre- fractionation of extracts, and send them to other members of our group for screening for activity against tropical diseases including malaria, Chagas’ disease, and leishmaniasis, as well as against cancer and for cytotoxicity screening. The next stage of our research involves conducting bioassay-guided fractionation to isolate and identify pure compounds that act against these tropical diseases.

cz: How long have you been working in this field?

I have been in my current position as a postdoctoral scientist for just over one year but was involved in my PhD research for five years.
