How can I become a CNA ( without any expensive funds) as a 17 year old who's school doesn't offer CNA classes, & with limited resources ? My local community college offers it but it cost almost 2000$, any opportunities!?

I want to become a CNA / take classes and have a license, to build up for my devotion for healthcare / nursing in the future. I truly believe this experience will give me the expertise and help me to where I want to be! I appreciate any help and advice.

How much harder are STEM Courses in college compared to Business courses in College?

How do academic successes and challenges, combined with significant personal experiences, act as catalysts in shaping an individual's aspirations for higher education and their ultimate career goals?

Hello! I hope everyone reading this is doing well. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Connecticut studying Biomedical Engineering. I am planning my future schedules and want advice in choosing a concentration and minor. My school requires BME majors to select a concentration. I am torn between the two concentrations; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology (first conc.) and Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation (second conc.). I am also looking into minoring in Electronics and Systems, and most of the courses required to complete this minor overlap with the Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation concentration. Electronics and systems has been something that I have been interested in for a while, so this pair is calling out to me the most as of late. This past summer, I participated in a practicum where I explored both bio-signals and biomechanics. During this practicum, I was able to build a 3D printed robotic hand while investigating various methods of body-machine interfacing for prosthetic control. Most of the work I focused on was working with flex sensors (which we made) and making things like an instrumentation amplifier, an active band pass, and full rectifier, which were used to make an electromyograph. This experience reignited my passions and curiosity for both biomechanics and bio-signals. This is why I am torn between both concentrations, and which to pair with minor I’m interested in. So, the options I have made for myself are; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology concentration paired with Electronics & Systems major OR Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation paired with the Electronics & Systems major. I am also wondering on which pair would be the most beneficial for me in industry post-graduation. Any advice helps. Thank you in advance!
