I recently switched to Geology major and want to know if there is a demand for this #geology

I want to make sure I can get a job with the major I choose in the career field I want. #job-market #college-major

I will be in college in a few years, and i don't want to pay for classes I don't need. #academic-advising #college-major #scheduling #college

I'm looking for tips on time management, maximizing storage space and saving money while in college. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I saw Verizon's Youtube ad for their #weneedmore campaign about providing more kids the resources needed to pursue science. As a student, how can I contribute?

I want to pursue science, but I also want to contribute to bridging the current science-policy divide we're facing in America. Are there any careers that deal specifically with these issues? AAAS maybe?

I know we're only about 20% of the field, but I'm wondering what the advantage will be with regard to undergrad admissions.

#college-admissions #college #college #physics

If I were to apply early somewhere (with a binding agreement) and then accepted, would I have the opportunity to turn them down if it turns out I can't afford it? What's the protocol?

I'm afraid I'll be matched with someone really annoying in college. Will there be opportunity to switch rooms? What other ways could I manage this situation?

My high school teachers play the fear mongering card every time we incorrectly staple something or use a purple vs a blue or black pen. Will this result in a terrible punishment in college as all my teachers say?

I'm looking to go into physics/astrophysics, but I'm also an avid theatrical actor. Are there any universities that are strong in both?

I feel like it could be useful, but I'm not sure. If so, what's the recommended length? How would it work with an online/Skype interview?

I'd like to get more involved in the political aspect of life, and particularly science advocacy. What are some things I can do as a student that might make a difference?

I'm a bit unsure as to the exact style in which admissions are expecting essays. I was told to make them both personal and professional, but I'm not quite sure how to integrate the two. One person said I should avoid contractions at all costs and another said it is most important that the...

I really don't have enough time to schedule all my college interviews before early deadlines. Can I schedule them after I've submitted my applications?

My family is sacrificing a lot by sending me to college and of course I feel guilty. I feel pressured to try my best and excel as a student, but doesn't everyone? Financial assisntance is part of the road to success and if going to college doesnt pay off the debt that it may put you in, can it...

A friend is concerned about choosing the right college when the time comes. There's a conception that the best premed programs feed into the best med schools feed into the best residencies, etc. and if you don't jump on the bandwagon immediately you're done for. Any advice to offer? #college...

Not sure what I want to do once I become a pharmacist but I don't want to do retail. #law #lawyer #pharmacy #pharmaceuticals

Recent news is about a robot who found a cure to cancer it has not been confirmed as the patient died before the treatment was implemented. #medicine #research #biomedical-engineering #pharmacy #pharmaceuticals

I'm considering a career in civil engineering, but I have no light on exactly what they do in a building project. #engineering #civil-engineering

Let's be honest, the oil industry is pretty rocky right now, should I consider a career in the field if I think it might be unreliable? #engineering #career-choice #oil

Genetics is an interesting topic to work with.

I want to know the challenges about genetic counseling. #clinical-psychology #genetics

I am still very young but when I become older I would like to start a family and get to spend quality time with my spouse and children, is that possible with this career? #sports #sports-management #entertainment #children #sports-media

It seems most advertising/media features people with bodies that don't represent the general public. I know every person is different, but one body type seems to be the dominant factor. For women and girls, the media believes they should be thin and pretty. For men and boys, they need to be...

In college, that is. #college #college-major #money #college-bound #money-management #expense-management

I'm currently interning within a research program. Just curious if I can ask the professor who accepted me for a college recommendation, or if they're typically only written by one's teachers. #college #teaching #teacher #professor #college-bound #recommendation

It's often the case that I know all the material for a certain class, but do not have enough time for the test to showcase my knowledge. How do I get faster without sacrificing accuracy? #student #studying-tips #testing

Some of my classmates struggle with concepts I'm familiar with. I'd easily be able to help them, but don't want to seem too forward. What's the best way to offer assistance without coming off as condescending or otherwise? #teaching #student #university-teaching #tutoring #peer-tutoring

Considering a double major. Considering. As a person double-majoring, do you have time for anything else? #college-major #majors #college-majors #double-major #extracurriculars #choosing-a-major

Simple curiosity. #teaching #professor #teacher-training

Junior year is fast approaching, and I've been having trouble with sleep. Not getting to sleep, no, but waking up. During the school year in particular, if I am tired I will drop dead asleep. No exceptions. This often leaves work unfinished and/or causes lateness the following morning. How do I...

This is namely geared towards professors/researchers. Not sure why it would be, but I've heard conflicting rumors.

I do not plan on attempting to place out of Physics 100 in college (every person I've encountered on visits has dissuaded me for some very good reasons). Though I am curious as to how helpful AP physics will be/how much of the same material will be covered. Can't seem to tell from course...

Considering that this is a likely profession for what I am interested in, what is your experience being a professor? Has living on/near campus and teaching kids been worth it? I'm particularly interested in research. #professor #research

This has been bugging me. #college-major #professor #phd #science-phd

I'm in high school and currently pursuing astrophysics. I've been involved in some programs and internships and I think research is what I want to do. Most people tell me the only jobs in this field are university professors, NASA paper-pushers, and Bill Nye. Is it possible to have a job...

I understand that it often depends on where it is being distributed. However, I seem to have too much pertinent information to fit on a single page. In general, is it better to include diverse aspects of your being, or focalize around that field in which you are interested? #resume...

I am interested in pursuing astrophysics and computer science. The colleges I'm looking at with appealing programs in those fields range from CalTech to Penn State. If it does come down to a decision, what is your opinion on larger vs. smaller institutions? The former tends to have better...

I like biology and chemistry but am not sure how I want to incorporate this into a medical career. #medicine #biology #chemistry

As a acute care nurse, I work with thousands of patients a year. I float all over the hospital in my new role as a float nurse. I am currently pursuing my FNP degree and need some guidance about how to pick my area of interest. I originally wanted to purse psych but working with other...

I am going into my junior year of high school and hoping to major in Computer Science in college. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Stanford or another, similarly selective school that has had success in its computer science department. I first got interested in computer science a few...

I am going into my junior year of high school, and have already taken AP U.S. History, but my score on the exam hasn't come back yet. What other AP classes should I take starting this year to help me get prepared for a Computer Science major? #computer-science #ap #advance-placement

I am considering majoring in accounting, but I am unsure if there will be opportunities for me to move up in a given company with that particular degree. #accounting #accountant

I am considering entering the Pre-Med program at my school, however I come a low income background and I am fearful that I will not be able to afford tuition at the graduate level.
Thanks! #doctor #medicine #pre-med #medicine-school

I met with a public health nurse a few weeks ago to talk about birth control. I asked her how she got to be doing what she did, and I found her answer very interesting. I would LOVE to educate people about proper sex education (STI's, different types of birth control, consent, gender &...

I took a sociology class last quarter, and it's been my most favorite out of every class I've taken. I want to study it in college, but what are my career options if I major in sociology? I am currently in high school and am going to a private four-year college this fall. #career #career-path...

I want to follow a career path that I'm passionate for in mathematics, but I also want to be sure that I'll have many opportunities for work and good pay in the future. What should I focus on for a major in mathematics so that I can have a better job outlook? #career #mathematics

I'm interested in majoring in mathematics in college and I'm very certain of that choice but I just don't know what type of career path I should follow. I know I don't want to become a teacher or get involved in something like accounting. I'm actually very good at solving puzzles and logical...

I would like to know if I could find an accounting job that incorporates traveling the world. #accounting
