I am debating on whether to study teaching or psychology. I know that if I put my mind to it I can do which ever one, but how can I come to a conclusion on which major to focus on when I love helping others?

I am a senior in high school and I have always loved helping and putting others before me. With having to help out in the house as well as my siblings, helping is second nature to me and it is something that I excell at. I really want to have a profession in which I could help others with...

What courses or classes should I take in college and high school if I am interested in the field of dentistry?

I have wanted to become a dentist form the young age of 2 and now I am old enough to gear my life towards that goal. However, I am not completely sure which classes are the best to take. I know math and science courses in general but I need specifics. #college #college-major #dentistry #dental

Would having work experience be beneficial for college and any major?

I am currently a junior in High School and I am interested in getting a job. I need some input on whether or not it is beneficial to at least have some amount of work experience and if I have experience how would that help me?

Will I be able to keep busy and learn more in a field like chemical engineering?

If you could only choose between pursuing a career that has a high salary, or pursuing a career that you always wanted to, which one should you choose and why?

I'm still deciding my major. My parents want me to select a major that would help me acquire a high paying job, however the major I want to go into is not that high paying. #financial-planning #personal-development

Is the process of becoming a doctor worth it?

I know it's time consuming definitely -- 4 years undergrad, another 4 for med school, and maybe 4 more for residency and experience? That's at least 12 years and after all that, a lot of debt might pile up too. So is the time, commitment, and money really worth it? #college #doctor #medicine...

Did you have a mentor growing up who helped you get to where you are in finance? How did you find your mentor? Should I have more than one?

I find investment management really interesting, but sometimes this stuff is over my head. I talk with my accounting teacher about the stock market and investment strategies, but sometimes there are things he doesn't know. #finance #financial-services #investment-management
