Would it be possible to work towards an Associates and Bachelors at the same time??

Hi, I'm a rising junior interested in becoming an orthodontist and I want to know how much I'll be able to take on once I go to college. I've heard you can get some Associates degrees online, which is something I've recently become interested in. My question is could I get an Associates in Dental Assisting online whilst simultaneously working towards a Bachelors Degree (bio or chem) in person? If not, I'll settle with a Bachelors, but I'm curious if both are attainable as I don't want to spend more time than I have to. Thank you!

Is it odd that I want to be a Zookeeper?

Some of the people around me assume that I'm in college to be a veterinarian, but then when I tell them zookeeper, they give an odd look and then follow up with, 'Oh, nice...' So is it odd that I want to work as a zookeeper?

How can I show proof of funds?

I am applying for a fall 2025 bridge program at Diablo valley college, but for the application it says that I’ll have to show proof of funds for 30k, for 9 months, but I’ll be there only for 2. I don’t have 30k saved up and I intend to use the income from my remote job as a way for me to pay for my education. Which covers completely and even more the eventual costs. How can I use my salary(48.000 dollars) to get the I 20 ?

Pivoting from Sales to Student Career Coaching - Seeking Advice & Mentorship

Hello Professionals, I'm Sankalp. After 14 years in enterprise sales, I am pivoting to become an independent career coach for students. As I build this new practice through self-study, I have two questions for experienced coaches: 1. What is your single most critical piece of advice—a key concept, tool, or insight—for a successful transition? 2. Would any senior professionals be open to offering mentorship? I am grateful for any guidance you can offer.

Should I study mechanical engineering first and then move on to robotics, or go straight into studying robotics?

I'm from Spain, and I'm going to start year 12 or grade 12. I'm taking A-levels, and I would like to study in the USA or the UK. I've been interested in and involved with robotics since I was 5 years old.

Feeling lost! Can I build a remote tech/AI career without experience?

Hi everyone, I’m going through a really difficult period in my life and would be incredibly grateful for some honest advice. I am 34 years old and I recently moved to Japan (Fukuoka), and I’m struggling to find a viable career path. I don’t speak Japanese yet (I’ve started studying it), and I’ve been applying for English or Italian teaching jobs (I'm Italian) just to keep things moving but that’s not my real passion. My background is in commercial HVAC pipefitting, with over 10 years of experience on large construction sites across Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, without Japanese language skills, it’s nearly impossible to continue in that field here in Japan. In the past 5-6 months I started studying cybersecurity, using platforms like Coursera and TryHackMe (earning two certificates: Google IT Support and Google Cybersecurity). I was really motivated, but just recently I started to feel discouraged, without hands-on experience or industry connections, it felt like I wouldn’t be able to break into the field. I paused my studies because I was afraid I was wasting time, but deep down I still want to continue. I’ve always been passionate about IT. I’ve had a strong interest in this world for as long as I can remember, and recently I’ve become more and more fascinated by how AI is changing the way we work and solve problems. I love exploring tools and workflows that help automate tasks, improve productivity, and create new opportunities for people like me, without a formal background in the industry. I’m also interested in the creative side of AI, such as image generation (which I occasionally share on socials), but my main goal is to find ways to use AI and IT tools to build a remote career, even starting small. That’s why I’m reaching out here. I’d really appreciate any honest, practical advice on: Is it truly possible to start a remote career in IT, without prior experience or a degree? What learning paths, certifications, or tools are actually worth focusing on? How can someone like me start from scratch and build a sustainable future in IT while managing day-to-day survival? Are there beginner-friendly roles where curiosity, consistency, and self-teaching are enough to open doors? Thank you so much for reading. I’m feeling lost, but still hopeful. Even a bit of direction or encouragement would mean a lot to me right now.

What colleges offer Diagostic Medical Sonography and also have a good softball team?

I have looked at some questions already like mine, but after researching the colleges, all the colleges have one or the other, not both. I am going into my junior year so I really need help to decide where I want to go so I can start reaching out to college coaches for softball.

What’s the best way to break into the cybersecurity field as an international student with 9 months of studying cybersecurity experience, 500+ job applications, and an ongoing Security+ certification?

Hi everyone, I’ve been studying cybersecurity for the past 9+ months and actively applying to internships and entry-level roles, with over 500 applications and 250+ LinkedIn connections so far. A few connections helped with referrals, but my resume still gets rejected. Last month, I felt devastated and started doubting myself. But I gathered courage and started preparing for CompTIA Security+ to strengthen my foundation. I’ve optimized my resume for ATS, participated in CTFs, and improved my LinkedIn, but I’m still struggling to land interviews. Can someone please guide me? What is the right approach to land my first cybersecurity internship/job? What specific skills or certifications helped you get your first break? How do I know if I’m "job-ready"? Should I focus on one company or keep applying everywhere? Any tips, encouragement, or actionable steps would mean the world. 🙏 Thank you!
