I hear potential students complain about why they are not in the career that they want to be in or complain about not making the amount of money they want to make. The main thing that irritates me is that they expect things to be given to them like society owes them. I was always taught that...

Everyone's path isn't the same. Some professions require a graduate school, but what about the ones that don't? What are some guidelines to figuring out if graduate school is necessary for your career path? #education #graduate-school

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...

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
