Is studying MIS with a Cybersecurity concentration a smart, future-proof choice with AI advancing so quickly ?

I’m considering majoring in Management Information Systems (MIS) with a concentration in Cybersecurity. With how quickly AI is advancing, I want to think carefully about whether this path will still be strong and relevant in the future. For those working in related roles, what does your typical day actually involve? Is most of your time spent in meetings and strategy, doing technical hands-on tasks, or monitoring systems and security tools? I’m also curious about how AI might affect the role of someone who connects the business side and the security/technical side. Will companies still rely on people in that “bridge” role, or will AI start taking over more of those responsibilities? Also, for those who studied MIS with a cybersecurity focus (or something similar), how intense is the workload when balancing business management classes with technical security labs? Is it stressful or manageable with good organization? I want to choose a major that has a strong long term career outlook but also one that matches the kind of work style I’d actually enjoy. I’d really appreciate hearing about real experiences or advice from people in the field.

What are the steps to transitioning into a product manager role?

I’m a final-year student with six months of professional backend development experience from an internship, but I’m looking to transition into a product manager role. I completed a three-week training, though I feel I didn’t learn nearly enough, and I’m unsure how to gain more experience since no one seems willing to hire me with just my certificate. Are there any free websites I could explore?

Do I apply on "time-constraint" internships?

For context, I need 500 internship hours done by May. I have an online internship I can log in anytime, not I like but, really helpful in navigating direction and resume points + fitted for my course + free certifications + domain, all prep for tech. I also have this second internship however this is pending..9-5 Weekdays Onsite! That is my dream internship..recruiter said he'll keep me in the loop, maybe next week, I get to hear from him. AND THERE'S THIS,, Last internship,, good in resume, in a field I like,, self-paced and online as well..However, 10-15 hours weekly,, with a sprint + meetings. Deadline is on Feb 11 or Feb 13. I was wondering if I should apply... it is like by batch, however, i'm in my last year of uni,,,I wanted to apply before I graduate. What do you think?

Is it wise to only get a music therapy degree? Thank you for reading my thoughts and thank you in advance for helping me!

I want to become a music therapist to work with all ages and abileties. I was told that a socialwork degree would be much better in terms of money and job opportunities. I also love music and psychology practices so music therapy as a career seems like the best fit. Music has been a leading factor in my life since I was very young. Being a full-time musician doesn't align with my personality and life circumstances. However, I know that most music therapists have their own businesses and I'm more of a social butterfly. I love bouncing ideas off people and working as a team My friends say I really help them through their problems and give them real tools for them to help themselves.

How do I know if this is the right path for me?

I’ve often been unsure of what I wanted to pursue, with switching around career prep pathways in high school, and often jumped from career to career about what I wanted to do. For a while recently, I’ve looked into going into the legal profession. I found myself interested in reading since childhood, and writing. My strengths and interests tend to lean towards advanced English and Social Science classes, than STEM related courses, which I struggled in. I find myself as well engrossed in political topics. I may intend on majoring in Political Science with a minor in Literature or Journalism, on a pre-law track, but am not definitely certain yet.

Has anybody done the 8 week ROTC summer aviation training program?

I am a senior in highschool and I have been looking more into it lately but I don’t want to go to the Air Force or anything. I understand you walk away with a private pilot certificate. Would doing civil air patrol be better? Which one do I actually accrue a lot of hours??

Do Wedding Planning companies usually have a team base? If so, do you know of any in the LA County, San Bernardino County or Riverside County??

Movies like the Wedding Planner (one of my favorites!) imply that WP companies do have a physical building for the team to meet up, but I just wanted clarity about that. I am on the lookout for some local Wedding Planning firms that I can contact about an internship. I just need to know where they are...thank you!

How can a second-year CSE student prepare effectively for a career in the tech industry?

Hello, I am a second-year Computer Science and Engineering student and I want to start preparing early for a career in the tech industry. I am particularly interested in roles such as software developer, data analyst, or AI/ML engineer, but I am still exploring. I would appreciate guidance on: Which technical skills are most important for securing entry-level roles? How important is Data Structures and Algorithms for placements? Should I focus more on projects, internships, or certifications at this stage? Are there any specific tools, technologies, or platforms I should start learning now? I want to build a strong foundation and avoid wasting time on unnecessary courses. Any advice from industry professionals would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

What can I do to be successful if I want to persue an acting career?

I'm currently a Senior in high school deciding on what I want to do after I graduate; I think I've decided on taking generals in my hometown before hopefully transferring to the University of Montana to get a minor in Theater. I've learned through some research that getting a career as an Actor is a challenge, so is this the best option for me to do, or should I continue persuing acting as a hobby?

How do I find mini projects or academic projects?

I am doing my MBA in Infrastructure Management, and I want some experience along with my studies, so I think working on projects will be more sensible. However, I cannot find any projects to work on. If I search it online, data entry jobs and collection jobs appear, but not real MBA-level projects, which are also relevant. If any of you have any suggestions to offer to work on with me, I am open to them, too.
