How can I make money with a communications degree?
I will start college in January 2025 as a junior because of my college credits (I’m a photography intern now at my community college). I originally applied to an art school to pursue filmmaking editing but was waitlisted so I decidedto pursue communications (media production) at another school was a close second. But I’m worried that I won’t make any money or won’t end up with atleast a job out of college. My dream job/goal is to edit aesthetic videos , I love cinematography but I am struggling to learn premier pro without a in person teacher and junior year is the year for internships. Should I stick with the communications major and see where it leads me, eventually learning how to edit on my own? Or Should I just major in finance for money and minor in photography on the side ? Any advice would help 🥲

Is it normal to not have a career in mind in 11th grade?
I’m in 11th grade and haven’t really thought of a career to do in my life, I’ve been kind of stuck in thought of what to do either it being art, psychology, or something random like business.

What are some jobs for 16 years old?
I’m 16 right now, in NYC high school. And I know for most jobs, their minimum age to work in their place was 16. So I decided that I wanted to get my first job, but I couldn’t find any job. They either never reply back to me or that their schedule aren’t fit for me or that they don’t hire 16 years old. I try bakery stores and some movie theaters, nothing works. If possible, can you tell me some company or store name that would hire 16 years old and are flexible with the schedule in NYC? Thank you.
