Hi! I am a senior in high school and I am planning on becoming an event planner. I have been accepted into many programs for this career and waiting on my #1 choice. My #1 choice is a prestigious school with lots of internship connections and study abroad. I really like a few smaller private schools that I have toured but they do not have majors specific to my career path. I would have to do communications or general business. Should I go with specific and prestigious (if I get in) or is a general degree at a smaller school just as good?

I am a senior in high school and wanting to be an event planner. Cost wise the choices are similar, but the smaller private schools cost a bit more.

What is the best method for time management?

I'm going to be involved in a few time consuming activities and working part time on top of taking classes. I don't want to end up falling behind on assignments and I've never had to split my time like this before.

Whens the usual age range where you should be going into your chosen field professionally?

I'm still in college, going into EMT. I'm 20 now and I'm wondering around what age do you really start, or around when I should start my career. I know everyone has different paths so I'm not too worried

What kind of work do you do as a psychiatrist?

I am very curious of what is a typical day for you? How does your day start for you? What kind of hands on work do you do? Are you usually in a office type setting just talking ? Is there anything you didn't expect when you started working ?

How difficult was it to become a psychiatrist?

Although i don't find school to be much of an interest to me, I know it takes at least twelve years to complete. Was the school difficult for you? Did it pay off in the end? Have you changed your career path since you were in school?

Why did you choose to be a psychiatrist?

As much as i desire to help, I get stuck not understanding if the only thing i'm truly interested in is understanding the mind and how it works. Would i be able to thrive in a profession that deals with helping people more then just dealing with medical aspects?
Do you have any suggestions for me?
