How does one know what they’re meant to be?
I always get the question on “what do you want to work as?” and my response is always “I’m not sure yet.” Im tired of giving that response and want to truly know what I’m best to specialize in. I’m honestly scared to go to college without having any clue on what I want to be for the rest of my...

How do you leave a meaningful impact online?
So I want to pursue a career in social media. Social media remains as a goldmine of opportunity, even 10 years after the creation of arguably the most prevalent platform, YouTube. These platforms are filled with just normal people whose lives are entirely transformed by virtue of being...
When can I call myself a successful entrepreneur?
My name is Louis, and I've always felt that my path in life has never fit with the typical hours of the 9-5 cubicle career that so many others are content with. I enjoy having control and determining things for myself, rather than allowing others to dictate what, when, and how I should do...
How do I ensure that college allows me to grow and become the person I am, but doesn’t change all of the things that I like about myself?
Next year I’ll be going to college, and while I am there, I fear that some of the things that I like about myself will change due to the environment I will be a part of. For example, in college, a lot of people attend parties. In my four years of high school, I have never, other than birthday...

Do you have a higher chance of succeeding in your career if you choose to study at a 4 year school, rather than attending community college and then transferring after two years?
I am asking this because I am trying to decide between attending community college first, which is cheaper, or going for a 4 year school which I worked really hard to get into. There's a chance that I may not be able to afford to attend a 4 year school yet, and I am nervous that attending...
What things can I do during pursuing my bachelor's degree to improve my chances of getting accepted into medical school?
I am asking this question because I would appreciate all the advice that I can get on this question. I don't have anyone that can really guide me in this whole process, and some advice on the route that I should take would really help. #medicine #doctor #med-school #medical-school #pre-med...
Is it worth sacrificing most of your social life during college to graduate top of your class?
I am struggling balancing my social life and my academics. As of now my time as a student has been mostly spent studying and working to pay bills. Is it worth sacrificing my social life during college to achieve high grades?

What characteristics make an outstanding student both inside and outside the classroom?

Why are there no scholarships specific to graduate school?
I am applying to graduate school, and many scholarships (70% I would say) are specific to undergraduate studies. In addition, there are very specific graduate school scholarships around stem, a field I have no interest in. #stem #college #college-advice #graduate-school #financial-planning...
If medicine improves and allows people to live much longer lives, how will we provide for everyone?
As medical technology improves, people live longer, healthier lives. Anti-aging technologies are getting better and better. If people start regularly living to 100 or longer, or if human life is extended even further beyond natural limits, how we provide for everyone? How will people in my...
If many jobs in the future (perhaps MOST jobs) will be replaced by machines and Artificial Intelligence, what should we be studying in college?
I read Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano" as well as several of his short stories that depict a future in which all "jobs" have been eliminated - machines do everything. The people who have meaningful work find their life has less meaning. They ask, "What are humans FOR?" So, I wonder what...

With the field of biomedical engineering, are there any problems being a girl?
I heard that in most STEM fields, being a girl means you earn less, there are less opportunities, not as many companies believe girls are capable, girls are of less value. I wanted more information if this was a myth or if it was true and how it might be a bad decision to go into this field....
