I'm wondering if there's still enough time for me to apply for a job this summer. I have to go back to college in September, so I'd only have July and August to work. Is that enough time to get hired, be trained and hold a job? #jobs #work #hiring #employment #summer-jobs #part-time...

I want to apply for jobs, but I don't know how to market myself since I don't have any previous job experience. I'm just looking for a part-time job since I'm in college. #jobs #resume #part-time

I will be a freshman at Michigan State University to study civil engineering this fall. I have also been accepted into the Honors College at this school, which requires me to complete at least eight honors courses. I do not want to saddle myself with too many classes, but I also know that...

I have a few medical topics that I'm more interested in studying than others. These might just be questions that I will have answered when I learn more in medical school, but topics like brain activity have a lot to offer in terms of research. If a person wants to begin specializing in a...

I have heard many differing views on how pre-medical studies work. I'm currently hoping to take pre-medical studies as a music performance major because music is a passion of mine and musicians are known for being hard working, focused, and detail-oriented, which are all skills necessary to...

I attend the University of Michigan where I major in communications and minor in entrepreneurship. I've heard it said many times that entrepreneurship can't be taught & that you either have it or you don't. While to a certain extent I believe that statement, I also have greatly benefited from...

As anyone who plays video games would be, I was excited by the prospect that playing video games could be a viable career choice. But I don't know if it would be the right career for me, since in the end it sounds like a lot of sitting down. Is it as fun as it sounds initially, does it become...

I've always loved video games, not only as a way to take my mind off of stress, but also as a form of interactive media that can bring people together. The unique experiences and lessons I've learned from video games have helped me so much in life, that I want to do the same for others, even if...

Should I visit before I apply, like in the summer after my junior year? Or after I apply and get accepted?
Because why would I visit a place that might not accept me? #campus-visit #college-admissions #college-selection

I know that public colleges in Illinois are required to accept 3's on AP exams, which I might have gotten, but I also hear that private colleges can offer more financial aid.
At which type of college would I end up saving more money? #financial-aid #ap-exam

I am thinking about becoming a nurse and I was wondering if there were any major factors that I might want to know about before proceeding a degree. #nursing #nurse #healthcare #hospital-and-health-care

I want to know is it is worth the extra money to become more qualifies or if the label of a degree is less important in the scheme of things. #nursing

My current major is Apparel Merchandising and Product Development and with me being in Ohio, the jobs can be limited because it is not one of the larger, more fashion driven states. Would it be too risky to stick with it , and chance the possibility of relocating? #career #career-counseling

I recently thought I found the perfect major and minor. I was really excited to finally go from undecided to declaring my current major/minor, Apparel Merchandising and Product Development/Marketing. I was glad to finally share my decision with family and friends, only to have them make me...

I really enjoyed art and I can't think of any other career to pursue, however I have been told that animation is a really bad career to pursue. I was hoping if somebody could tell me a piece of information that would help me feel more positive and assured that going into animation isn't a bad...

Hello! I'm interested in pursuing a career in animation but I don't have much experience in the field. I was hoping on receiving some helpful advice on what it is like to be an animator. #animation #career-plan

I am a recently graduated high school senior going on to pursue a degree in neuroscience at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My concern was if students who didnt apply for work-study would have a hard time finding internships. #internships #financial-aid

I am a recently graduated high school student, and I am majoring in Neuroscience at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I want to minor in Spanish and vocal performance. I am asking because I am unsure of how to minor in those particular fields of study while having a filled schedule for...

This relates to my first question, where I asked "How can I choose a major that will benefit me in the long run?"

I lot of people that I know who graduated college have degrees in fields that have absolutely no correlation to their jobs. I don't want to make that same mistake. I plan on double majoring in Math and Creative Writing. #math #majors #degrees #creative-writing

I will be attending Western Illinois University in the fall and I need about $4,000 to be able to attend. #scholarships #guidance-counselor

I am studying to be a psychologist and I have a great interest in criminal profiling. I understand to be accepted into the BAU most agents have been working 7-10 years. I understand there are 5 different ways to be accepted into the FBI but I'm wondering if there is a simple or a different way...

I personally love tattoos. I do not have one, however thinking of getting a meaningful one soon. YET I always hear from teachers and adults how having "ink" ruin or hinder my chance of having a good career. Even with these warnings I have seen many nurses and doctors with a tattoo. #doctor...

I don't want to be confused after graduation as to what am I do I to do next. I want to know if I have to start in internships or residencies. #teaching #education

When i go to college, I may want to spend a semester in Europe. I'm not sure if colleges cover that or if you have to come out of pocket with your money. #study-abroad

My instructor told us that we don't get certification in our program because "you can't certify talent." That being said, how do I know when my skills are adequate? What kind of training is most important for a graphic designer- knowledge in the software, artistic skill, or raw creativity?...

Is it better for a graphic designer specifically to work freelancing from home or AT a business, for a business? What are the pros and cons to both? I know this is the career field I want to enter, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is. Thanks! #design #graphics

Hi I'm Alexis I'm currently a rising Junior whose interested in both Biology and Psychlogy. I believe that the mind and body and closely intertwined, yet u can't necessarily find a career path that combines the importance of both. I like biology because it has all of the medical background with...

I plan on majoring in art in college but I am not really sure what I will be able to use it for after college. So, I would think that going to an even higher level of education for it would be futile, but then again it might help. #phd

My major is currently set as accounting as I start college in the fall, but I am still unsure what the best path is for determining a minor. I know I am interested mostly in business, but don't know exactly what else to study besides accounting. #business #accounting #job #major #future-careers...

I am planning on majoring in accounting, but I am beginning to worry as I've heard comments about how technology will decrease the demand for accountants and therefore getting a job will be increasingly difficult. #technology #jobs #accounting #majors #demand

College is expensive and I am wondering if I should take out student loans or not. If I have to start paying it off right away and not after college, then I do not want to get them because I do not have a lot of money as of now. #college
