Can travel agents use their miles to purchase tickets for customers without first notifying them?

My friend purchased a plane ticket with this and when he tried to link his frequent flier account with the reservation, the airline told him that he cannot earn miles with this since it was purchased with frequent flier miles. I understand tickets purchased with miles cannot accrue miles, but the travel agent never alerted him that she was going to use frequent flier miles and I don’t believe this is standard practice.

How important is science to a career in Psychology?

I find it hard to understand science and was just wondering how important it is that I complete a science course in yr 11 or 12 (college). If so what kind of science should I do? What other subject would you suggest I do??
would someone with little science understanding be able to pass Biology?

It probably won’t be required by your degree program, but it might be required by your college’s general education requirements. My wife got a bachelor’s in Pscyhology and her only science course in college was Earth Science 101.

Now if you’re talking Psychiatry, science is crucial. But for psychology, not so much.
