Next year, I will be transferring to a school and pursuing a Wildlife Biology Bachelor's degree. Originally, the Wildlife Biology degree with a concentration in Wildlife Rehabilitation interested me because I thought the rehabilitation concentration would provide increased skills. My career...

I have lots of friends with internships unrelated to their majors, interests, and future career goals but they think it will look good on resumes later on. Do you recommend I get any internship I can get just for the sake of having a full resume?

I am personally interested in anything related to documentary, journalism, creative writing, and English, but don't know what job I want yet. What do you suggest I pick for my major in order to allow for the largest possible career options down the road? I know a lot of people end up doing...

In the last year, I have volunteered anywhere I can: local forest preserves with prescribed burns, invasive plant control, promotion of native plants, and weed scouting and a wildlife center educating the public about conservation challenges, introducing guests to resident animals, and caring...

While my career choice would be to become a video game programmer, I'm open to suggestions that would benefit other programming fields as well. Also, I would be interested to know what kind of minors that companies have an eye for in programming jobs in general.

I love Disney and I am interested in the Disney College Program but I am not sure if it will help me in the future. If anyone has ever been a part of or knows someone who has been a part of the Disney College Program I would love to just know information about it. #Disneycollegeprogram #DCP...

I am interested in minoring in Accounting, but I'm not sure what I can actually do. Most things I have looked at you need a major for. #accounting #college-minor

Sometimes I find it hard to focus on my classes when doing online classes. There are so many web sites that I'd like to spend my time on instead of doing homework. How do you stay focused? #College #focus #motivation #study-skills #organization #classes #online-classes

Over the course of the past month I have applied to a lot more scholarships the. I ever thought I would, and I have started looking at the odds of me getting a scholarship being 1 of a hundred on average meaning if I wanted to pay of my tuition that would mean applying to say around 100...

As a perspective college student I have been advised by numerous college students and admissions officers that I won't have to take early classes when it comes to starting college, when college is meant to be for preparing students for starting rigorous and time structured jobs. #8amclasses

I am wondering about something you may have struggled with sometime in college and how you overcame the problem. #college

In high school or college, do businesses provide the opportunity to gain hands on experience in the workforce? To learn more about the major we are studying. #business #internships

What characteristics are beneficial to exemplify to employers that you have, and that are positive in the workplace. #interviews #jobs

As a high school junior, what advice can you give me in the selection process. #college #college-selection #college-course-selection

On average, college tuition has more than doubled in the last 20 years. Many college students graduate with significant debt, is it worth going to a school that is more expensive with an equal reputation of another school. While still getting the same degree. #business #after-college...

For example, if you were going to a college with vocational courses, would it make sense to try to pursue something that prepares you to become a drafter? Are engineering firms still looking for people to handle just drafting, or do they only want engineers? If they are, what are the...

Is it sensible or feasible (or how does the outlook seem in general) to get one's first degree at 40 as a civil engineer? (Entering college at 35, graduating at 40) Would potential employers be biased against an "old" newbie, making it impossible to pay off school debt at such a late date...

There are millions of formats online for a cover letter. Some are longer and more specific. Others are short and don't provide much information (i.e., bragging points) about the writer. Some are double-spaced and others are single-spaced. Some are twelve-point and others are ten-point. Does the...

I can't stay in school forever. I graduate with my MFA (yes, I'm going for specialization), but I'm worried that after I'm specialized, I still won't be able to find a job I enjoy. #workforce #career #career-advising #finding-a-major #passion

I am going to pursue Engineering, however, I have never taken a physics or calculus class. It is the only career field that I enjoy and have participated in many engineering programs. #engineering #chicago #computer-science

I want to study engineering, but the school I want to go to only has a dual degree program. Will it make a different if I get two degrees compared to one? #engineering #college-major

I see a lot of full rides based on sports but not on merit. #scholarships

I've recently been denied from my reach schools and a few of my safety schools. I've applied to a couple more but at this point it's hard to get scholarships from those schools since i've applied too late. However, i've been accepted to two small private liberal arts schools but they're not...

Should someone be choosing their major on whether they'll be making enough money in the future to financially support themselves or if it's a major that will in the end make them happy. I know the ultimate answer would be to do what makes you happy but is it possible to do that while being...

I find this career interesting and would love to know what a neurologist studies before becoming one. #neurology

I've always had my mind set on business. My senior year, I ended up taking a psychology class and loved it. I found it fascinating how the brain works and every other aspect of the class. I don't want to make the wrong decision when I have to decide what classes I have to take. #psychology...

I have a part-time job and I'm commuting from home to college (so that's helped a lot), but I'm still trying to save for additional costs and even the next year.

I ask because I have terrible study habits (namely me cramming the night before and even then not really studying like I should). I'm trying to find habits that will help me when I get to classes in college.

I love taking photos and I own a DSLR camera. I want to learn more editing techniques, especially on Adobe Photoshop. I am looking to own the program, but it looks like it is a yearly fee now. I am wondering if there is a way that I can just own the product totally, and what tools I can use to...

They always say college is very different from high school and that the work is more difficult. I'd like to know how the work is different and what you can do to succeed in the classroom. #classswork #college

I know it might be difficult to balance trying to have a social life with school work so I'd like some insight on how some people in college do it. I'd like to do both so I want some helpful tips. #college #time-management
