In fiscal 2010, La Mesa-based Comic-Con took in $10.1 million—mostly from the sale of membership “badges.” As a nonprofit educational corporation “dedicated to creating awareness of, and appreciation for, comics related popular art forms,” it doesn’t sell tickets. It also doesn’t pay taxes—. But it also brings in as much as $60 million to the San Diego economy, according to one estimate. Does it deserve tax-exempt status? Or would that threaten its super-draw?
Poll: Should Comic-Con Pay Taxes on its Annual Revenues of $10 Million-Plus?
Opening for preview today, the convention is classified as a nonprofit, educational group.

'...MPH degree program to attend a 3-day workshop ... challenge the CNA licensure examination in…Read More California.... ... Aristotle felt that by becoming licensed professionals in the U.S. shortly after their arrival to the shores of the U.S., they would have a greater opportunity to receive better clinical positions when they applied for the work-study internships that they were eligible to participate in....'
the school told students that were enrolled in masters' degrees that certification as a cna was part of the road to obtaining a masters degree ??
stop right there...
masters in public health is an administrative position that has nothing to do with being a cna....and i'm sure people didn't travel thousands of miles to do the grunt work in a hospital....
yea, getting a cna license is a great suggestion for an 18 year old that's going into the nursing field....but not for someone in the masters' program....
and fyi phony college.....in this country a person has to have a 4 year degree before they can apply for the masters' program....
