Challenge #2: College OR Career?

You've started on the road to LIFE! Your first big choice is coming up :-) What will you choose??

COLLEGE - Lots of books, studying, deadlines, cram sessions and hopefully...... lots of learning! This challenge is a
bit more work, but the payoff is great -- 500 points up for grabs! Going to college SHOULD make for better pay.
You work hard for a few years with the hopes of better job choices and salary. So, here it is!

Create a step-by-step tutorial showcasing some sort of scrapbooking tip or technique. Be sure to show some photos
and your completed project. There's a shorter deadline for this one :-)
Post your completed tutorial in the Tutorials and Techniques section of the forum.
DUE: Thursday, May 10th at 10pm EST
WORTH: 500 pts

CAREER - Not interested in college?! Then skip it, and head right into the workplace. There are not so many job
choices when you don't have the schooling, so this choice will give you less points.

Your challenge is to create a layout based on this teaching tip. You can upload your creation in this post.
Use at least FOUR different types of fonts in your title.

Featuring Fancy Fonts!
Titles are one of my least favorite things about creating layouts, then when I DO settle on a title -- the big decision is "what font to use?"
There are so many options for fonts, AND so many different types of alphas. If you have your favorite fonts/alphas that you use, those can
quickly become boring and blah! Why not mix things up a bit?! I really enjoy this tip, and I love to mix and match :-)

Some ideas are:
big alphas/small alphas
textured/smooth (chipboard, corrugated, vinyl)
Italic or script fonts/block fonts
upper-case/lower-case
different colors of alphas

Here are a couple of older examples that I've done
