How do I select a major that will benefit me in the long run?

I lot of people that I know who graduated college have degrees in fields that have absolutely no correlation to their jobs. I don't want to make that same mistake. I plan on double majoring in Math and Creative Writing. #math #majors #degrees #creative-writing

Do most people that become audiologists go to school full-time or part-time after graduating from college?

I am planning to get a master's degree in speech pathology and am then considering continuing on to become an audiologist. I was wondering if most people continue to work as a speech pathologist while attending additional classes to become an audiologist or if they go to school full-time...

Are the requirements for becoming a speech pathologist the same in every state?

I am planning to study speech pathology, and I know you need to have a master's degree in most states in order to practice. I am wondering if that is the case for all states or if some require additional education or a test to become certified to practice. #speech-pathology #audiologist

For anyone who has been/is pre-med: How many years into college did you learn you wanted to go pre-med? What experiences or classes in college made you decide pre-med? How many years (undergrad and med-school) did it end up taking?

I'm possibly interested in pre-med, but am wondering if it is best to go into it directly, or if it is possible to go into it in say, my second year of college and how that may affect my time in school. Thanks! #doctor #medicine #pre-med #medical-school #undergraduate

Looking back on your college experiences, would you say that the social and net-working aspects from college are just as valuable to your current careers as the education you recieved in college? why or why not?

Although the point of college is to learn and become educated for future careers, I've been told the importance of networking. I am wondering, from others' personal experiences, how being social and networking may have helped them build their careers. #college #career #graduate #social #networking

How much training do you need to be a graphic designer?

My instructor told us that we don't get certification in our program because "you can't certify talent." That being said, how do I know when my skills are adequate? What kind of training is most important for a graphic designer- knowledge in the software, artistic skill, or raw creativity?...

Is it better to work from home or from a workplace

Is it better for a graphic designer specifically to work freelancing from home or AT a business, for a business? What are the pros and cons to both? I know this is the career field I want to enter, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is. Thanks! #design #graphics

Is it worth going to graduate school for art? Would it help me get a better job in that field

I plan on majoring in art in college but I am not really sure what I will be able to use it for after college. So, I would think that going to an even higher level of education for it would be futile, but then again it might help. #phd

What would be the best minor to pair with a major in accounting, in terms of helping get a job?

My major is currently set as accounting as I start college in the fall, but I am still unsure what the best path is for determining a minor. I know I am interested mostly in business, but don't know exactly what else to study besides accounting. #business #accounting #job #major #future-careers...

In your professional opinion, do you believe the increase in technology will decrease the demand for accountants because some of their jobs will become obsolete?

I am planning on majoring in accounting, but I am beginning to worry as I've heard comments about how technology will decrease the demand for accountants and therefore getting a job will be increasingly difficult. #technology #jobs #accounting #majors #demand

Do most student loans have to start being paid when you are still in college?

College is expensive and I am wondering if I should take out student loans or not. If I have to start paying it off right away and not after college, then I do not want to get them because I do not have a lot of money as of now. #college

If I were to pursue a career in accounting, what should I major in, in this day and age and for the next couple of decades?

I know some people prefer to major in math and others just take the major in economics, but is there a preference in the labor force? Will the demand for one be higher, and which one is more flexible to getting a job? #business #accounting #math

Is it possible to get a good job in business without enrolling in a specialized business school/college of a university?

I was rejected as a Ross pre-admit at the University of Michigan, so I started thinking about what would happen to me if I never got in, even for regular admission of Ross. I heard people who major in economics at LSA (the general studies college at UMich) are not nearly as successful as those...
