What, if any, additional certifications do you need in New Jersey in order to be able to teach in a special education Job Skills program for students who have graduated but are continuing to attend school until age 21?

How do I decide between a stable, well-defined career path and a riskier path that could lead to greater innovation or impact?

How do you balance taking advantage of opportunities in college without overcommitting yourself?

Throughout high school I consistently overcommitted myself to a plethora of diverse activities like robotics, marching band, and theater. How do I help ensure I'm able to prioritize personal health and success at a university that has such abundant oppurtunity?

How do I engage with music in a meaningful way as a career path?What opportunities exist post-college for a music major (no matter the concentration), and what steps should I take to achieve them?

Asking for a friend! I am currently admitted to ten schools as a music performance major, but am also contemplating a switch to music ed due to what I believe is a higher amount of job security.

Does where you get your degree from really matter in the business field especially if you are trying to get a job in big firms?

I've recently gotten into an in my opinion ok business school but it's not like an Ivy league. I was just wondering since I'm an incoming freshman should I try to transfer to a better college? What matters more, the place you get a degree from or where you rank in your graduating class grade wise?
