Why is the college degree called a "Bachelor's" degree?

Many of us might have wondered about this. But did ayone really tried to find out the reason behind this. By the way let me first clear you what is a bachelor degree, as some of you might not know about this. Bachelor degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course or program. Some people feel that : The name bachelor - in the world of academia - comes from the English word bachelor meaning, "young apprentice." But when someone look at the dictionary meaning of the same, it goes like that : The origins of the word “bachelor” are obscure.

This implies a kind of junior status among knights, and this may be the idea behind its later use for the lowest university degree (below master and doctor). (It was also used at one time for a junior member of a trade guild.)How it came to mean an unmarried man is not clear. Maybe, in an age when most peo...

10 ways to build a good relationship

BE A MAN OF YOUR WORD A successful and strong relationship is one that is built on trust and dependability. If you tell a woman that you are going to do something, she will expect you to keep that commitment. Whether it's a date you've made for dinner, a promise to water her plants while she's on vacation, or a resolution to give up smoking, keeping a pledge is crucial in developing and nurturing a solid foundation for the future. Even if it is something that seems insignificant to you in the big scheme of things (i.e., returning a library book for her on your way home from work), a succession of forgetful moments will diminish her faith in you. Accordingly, if every time you promise to do something triggers a reaction on her part to have a Plan B just in case, it is only a matter of time before she starts seeking out a new companion with a better track record for reliability.
