For those working in healthcare, in fields like medicine, pharmacy, and optometry. How do you know when it’s time to make a pivot in your career, and what do think are the most appropriate steps to take? As I’m getting further along in my career journey, one of the things I worry about is feeling stuck in my chosen field. Have you ever felt like this? If so, what have you done to overcome or avoid this?

Why are so many CPA's not actively using their license after spending all the effort to acquire it? #Spring25

It poses a serious question of whether accounting is still a valid career in 2025. To acquire a CPA license and not use it would just tarnish its name, would it not?

Do you feel that you've lost your "passion" for creative arts if you pursue an art major?

I'm going to school for fine arts (painting/drawing) and am nervous that my initial love for the arts will be diminished by the academic pressure of doing it for school.

I was wondering if anyone else had experiences this or had similar concerns, and what did you do to cope with that?
