How do I convince my parents to let me be an engineer?
My name is Sky. I'm heading into 10th grade this school year and some advice on how to convince my dad to let me be an engineer would be greatly appreciated. My dad wants me to go into the medical field and be a primary doctor or a surgeon so that I'll always have a job and make lots of money....
What type of engineering field is right for me?
My name is Sky. I'm in tenth grade and I'm having a career crisis. I need to know if engineering is the type of career that can get me hired straight out of college anywhere in the US. If so, I also need help deciding exactly what type of engineer I should be. I love learning about the periodic...
Is it possible to pursue a master's degree or doctorate degree in clinical/counseling psychology with a psychology minor?
I'm a few semesters away from graduating with a BA in women, gender, and sexuality studies, with a minor in psychology. I was originally planning to double major in psychology, but it's going to cost me extra time and money that I'm not sure I can afford. I have been an undergraduate student...
Is it better to buy or rent textbooks?
I know textbooks are really expensive in college so I wanted to know the best plan for getting textbooks. Does buying or renting make a difference in the cost of textbooks? If buying is better, should I get used or new books? #college #textbooks #cost
What qualities make a good roommate?

Would a double major followed by a PhD be too much?
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in school, but I do want to teach at the college level. I'm debating between getting my PhD in history or English/writing. Would it be too much of a hassle to double major and then decide?

Whether I should go to a better college to be able to teach at a university?
I've been told that I might have better luck getting a teaching position at a school like Virginia Tech (where I live) if I go to a school like Harvard. However, I want to teach English/History which is not Virginia Tech's focus at all, it being an engineering and agriculture school. Do I still...

I am currently a senior in high school and I have an idea of what I want my career to be, but I am stuck between the 2 occupations. They both are outstanding jobs, but I do not know which want i want to pursue in.

Should I choose a major in something I'm good at? Or something I would like to learn more about?
I could develop my talents by majoring in something I'm already good at, but I would also like to learn new things. I'm good at journalism and advertising type things, but I would like to learn more about biology and computer science. #computer-science #biology #marketing #journalism...
How much computer science experience do I need before I decide to major in that in college?
I want to major in computer science because I think it's a really cool subject and I want to learn more, but I feel like I don't have as much experience as everyone else who majors in that. I'm in AP computer science right now and I'm getting it as I go along, but everyone else in the class is...

Daily tasks of a PA?
Wondering what a day looks like for a physician assistant in both hospitals and offices. #healthcare #hospital #physicians-assistant
After committing to my College of choice I have found out that I can not afford it. Are there any steps I can take that will help me pursue getting additional help in order to attend ? Scholarship and grants have not worked in my favor as of yet?
I ask because I have pretty much put all my eggs in one basket, after being accepted I went ahead and committed, paying my deposit and housing fee,waiting on financial aid only to find out I didn't get much aid (although my parents don't make that much money) I guess I was over estimating that...
What classes should you take for entertainment management?
I want to go into the Entertainment Management side of things (though I'm still not sure exactly what job I want to target). I don't think I've seen "Entertainment Management" listed as a major in any of the colleges I've looked at. Do you know of any colleges that do? If not, what major am I...
