Is working for an NGO or a Government entity more useful for helping enact a positive change and gain practical experience?

Is it smart to have a Bachelor's/Master's in business as a backup while you're trying to pursue a career in a different industry (ie. entertainment, music, theater, etc.)?

What is the next big thing after touch screens?

Recently I've been seeing post and articles including pictures of holograms and devices where a touch of a fingertip is not necessary for it work. The touch screen was a big step ahead from the previous button touching but how much more can technologists push? I would like to be an innovator...

Is having a very specific career goal putting to many limitations on my future?

Becoming a video game developer is all I've ever wanted to be. I'm concerned that being so specific will limit my options down the road. Should that not pan out, I worry about what other careers will I be qualified for. I want to have something to fall back on. #career-path #guidance-counselor...
