Q. I may have rephrased the question kind of hard to understand. I need 3 reasons on why education can help you with you career choices!
A. 1) Some employers only consider people who have completed a high school diploma, a bachelor degree, a master degree or a doctoral degree (given the position).
2) One example: My father was only able to get a grade 3 position in the federal government (at age 39) as he dropped out of school after sixth grade. I began in a grade 9 position in the federal government (at age 23) as I completed a master degree (applied mathematics).
3) Sounds like you do not want to continue in education. (A reason for this?) If this is true, then do not expect a good chance of finding a good career.
If you are under age 30, then I definitely encourage you to continue in education.

Why do people bother to answer paranormal questions when they don't believe in it?
Q. Honestly, haven't folks got better questions to answer or better things to do then jump in and insult people asking questions about paranormal phenomenon? If you don't believe in paranormal occurrences, then just MOVE ON! Stop trying to bogart easy points by stopping by a question and offering nothing- just keep going, no one will miss you.
Might taking Paranormal Phenom out of Science and Mathematics be a good idea?
I believe that Paranormal Phenomena should be moved out of Science and Mathematics but Parapsychology left in the Sci/Math category, although as one commenter remarked, the pseudo-skeptics or cynical types would probably seek out posts and continue their onslaught no matter where it is. I enjoy a healthy dose of skepticism and I consider myself more of a skeptic than a believer most of the time, but I find it sad that there are people out there 'stalking' this category to ridicule others and add nothing of benefit other than personal attacks, and it occurs rather frequently.

A. I think it would be great to move it away from science and mathematics. By doing such we may not get as many of the personal onslaughts that we open ourselves up to for admitting we believe in things which others find it so difficult to do.
I have no issue whatsoever in people having different opinions, nor do I have issues with those that do not believe, there are a number of things in this world that I don't believe. What I do have a problem with are those people that find it satisfying to openly ridicule and humiliate others just because of their belief. Perhaps with a few more open minds and an acceptance of others beliefs, we would all stand to learn something new. We should be looking at sharing knowledge and experience on all subject matters, not just dismissing things because they lack scientific proof.
I wish everyone a happy and peaceful future, filled with all the wonderful things that this universe has to offer. :-)

How do you create a random number generator?
Q. Not sure if this is a mathematics question or a computer science question, but how do you generate a "random number" based on a probability distribution.
A. This is a mathematics question, a computer science question, and possibly a physics question, and is open ended. If you already have a uniform pseudo-random number generator, you can use the "composition method" to get random numbers based on any probability distribution. See the first source link below for that.
There are also specific methods, not based on the composition method, for many distributions. For example, the Box-Muller method for generating random deviates with a normal (Gaussian) distribution.
If you need to generate uniform deviates, there are many methods and most compilers and modeling software have methods built in. Quality varies. There are lots of references.
Also see last link below for a general method.
There are whole books on this subject.

a student opens a mathematics book to two facing pages. The product of the page numbers is 2250.?
Q. a student opens a mathematics book to two facing pages. The product of the page numbers is 2250. Find the page numbers.
A. x * (x+1) = 2250
page 1 and page larger than origional
x^2 + x = 2250
X^2 + x - 2250 = 0
factor
(x - 47) (x-48) = 0
x = 47
x+1 = 48
Btw... not correct question the answer becomes 2256
