I am very overwhelmed with choosing a college and being able to get into a good school, but to factor in costs, I was wondering how much choice of school really impacts the trajectory of where you could end up in the job market. Do companies really care where you went to college, and does that...

To all BS/MD program participants... How did you get in? What was it like? Would you suggest it to someone who wants to become a General Surgeon? Does it matter which one? For example, Brown's PLME vs. Union's BS/MD program with Albany Medical College?

What specific strategies, employer types, or short-term projects would you focus on over the next 30 days to land a U.S. job that will sponsor?

I’m finishing my STEM OPT year after an M.S. in Advanced & Intelligent Manufacturing (lots of additive-manufacturing R&D and defect-mitigation work). I’ve spent six months applying for mechanical / manufacturing roles but the H-1B sponsorship requirement keeps stalling my search.

How can we advocate for better pay for mental health professionals?

There is a shortage of qualified clinicians, yet salaries are really low. In some agencies, the pay is so low that clinicians cannot make a living wage, let alone pay their living expenses or pay off their student loans. Higher salaries or fees will attract AND retain more professionals.
