I always get the question on “what do you want to work as?” and my response is always “I’m not sure yet.” Im tired of giving that response and want to truly know what I’m best to specialize in. I’m honestly scared to go to college without having any clue on what I want to be for the rest of my...

So I want to pursue a career in social media. Social media remains as a goldmine of opportunity, even 10 years after the creation of arguably the most prevalent platform, YouTube. These platforms are filled with just normal people whose lives are entirely transformed by virtue of being...

My name is Louis, and I've always felt that my path in life has never fit with the typical hours of the 9-5 cubicle career that so many others are content with. I enjoy having control and determining things for myself, rather than allowing others to dictate what, when, and how I should do...

Next year I’ll be going to college, and while I am there, I fear that some of the things that I like about myself will change due to the environment I will be a part of. For example, in college, a lot of people attend parties. In my four years of high school, I have never, other than birthday...

I am struggling balancing my social life and my academics. As of now my time as a student has been mostly spent studying and working to pay bills. Is it worth sacrificing my social life during college to achieve high grades?

I have heard the basic qualities of outstanding students such as asking a lot of questions and studying hard (actually reading the textbook, because let's be real we don't have time to read everything!) I would love to hear what other characteristics are good to have to be successful in the...

I am recently divorced after 23 years and never worked a day in my adult life. I am going to school but have limited funds. #college #financial-aid #grant-writing #college-tuition

I'm asking this because I have been undecided between these two careers for about a year now . I'm not sure what is the best way to get started. I am going to eventually become an RN. #career-paths

I've been having a really tough time trying to get into the swing of being an adult.

I am applying to graduate school, and many scholarships (70% I would say) are specific to undergraduate studies. In addition, there are very specific graduate school scholarships around stem, a field I have no interest in. #stem #college #college-advice #graduate-school #financial-planning...

As medical technology improves, people live longer, healthier lives. Anti-aging technologies are getting better and better. If people start regularly living to 100 or longer, or if human life is extended even further beyond natural limits, how we provide for everyone? How will people in my...

I read Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano" as well as several of his short stories that depict a future in which all "jobs" have been eliminated - machines do everything. The people who have meaningful work find their life has less meaning. They ask, "What are humans FOR?" So, I wonder what...

I'm currently an undergrad, but I want to go to law school and be a lawyer. I've been thinking about minoring in psychology but would it be helpful in the long run at all? #psychology #law

As a white middle class female, I have not gone through a lot of trauma or heartache in my life. I have a loving family who can provide for me, good friends that I trust and adore, and a future at a well respected university. I have decided to major in neuroscience so that I can help people by...

I have been receiving my college acceptance (and sadly, rejection) letters lately. I understand that admission officers have to read literally thousands of applications but it hurts to not know why you weren't selected for their school. There are students out there getting rejected by their...

What is a typical college day like? What do you do? I have some friends who love their college experience and others hate it. I want a holistic but honest idea of college. I am looking forward to it but I just want to know. Everyone's experience is different but I'd still like to know....

I have recently been accepted to one of my top choices for school, but unfortunately the annual tuition is over $50,000 a year. I would rather not have to take out loans and start my working career in debt. #tuition #education

I applied to many schools before December 2017 as a community college transfer student. I sent my fall 2017 transcripts to these schools back in January and I still have not heard back from four of them, so I'm just wondering how long it should take on average. #college #transfer-admissions

I want to know more about their shifts and the time they spend at a hospital. Also, how they manage their time to work and rest throughout the day. How long are most neurosurgeries? #neurosurgery #medicine #hospital-and-health-care

I'm passionate about art! However, I don't want to try and make it into a career. I won't go into the reasons behind that right now, but I do want to keep creating on the side and continually improving, something that's really only possible if I dedicate a lot of time and effort to it, in...

I have a general goal I want to achieve- make people's lives better. At this point in time, I have equal interest in doing so either through studying psychology and becoming an advisor or something that can provide greater mental health resources in institutions/communities or by going into...

I've been looking into data science careers, and I know that it is closely related with machine learning and big data. I'm confused as to what the difference between data science and machine learning is, and also how big data plays in a part in both fields. What exactly is data science and...

I'm currently a third year computer science major, and I've recently discovered a passion for data science and machine learning. I've been trying to learn more about it, and I've found many online resources (Udacity's data analyst, machine learning nano degrees, Stanford's Intro to Machine...

I remember when I was just an upcoming freshman at my high school and I was eager to get involved with my school and the community around me. However... I'm getting more and more stressed out on one area where colleges/universities like to see in their applications: extracurriculars. I haven't...

As of right now I am debating between attending a UC that has offered me almost no financial aid and a college in New York that has offered me a considerable amount in scholarships. What would be the pros and cons between the two? Would the cost of living expenses in New York outweigh the...

I have been studying to become a geological engineer and recently was accepted to a very prestigious engineering university. The only problem is many classmates and teachers have told me that because I am a girl I will struggle to find work in my field and should look into something else....

I recently chose my major for college but I've been having some second thoughts. I don't have any close family members who went to college and it would be really great to hear from someone who has experience how exactly you knew you'd made the right decision when choosing your major. #major...

I am a high school senior who has always wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, and I have been doing thorough research on the various aspects of the occupation. I am very interested in veterinary dentistry or surgery, and I would really like to specialize in these areas. Is there...

I am a high school senior who is considering going to UC Davis and majoring in animal science. I plan to go there because they have the best veterinary school in the nation, and the vet school also accepts around 40 undergrad students from Davis, which is the most, and around 10 students from...

After having a career as a programmer and business analyst leading teams and projects for over 20 years, why am I always overlooked for a promotion to management, though I've expressed interest? #notpromoted #howtobecomeamanager #needadegree

I'm currently almost finished with my Bachelor's. I also currently work as a Behavioral Therapist. But are there alternative options? Psychology is a pretty vast field and you can do so much with it. I was wondering on what everyone's thoughts were. #psychology #school #college #associatesdegree

Hello! I have been considering in Minoring in something lately. Of course, I'd like to minor in something beneficial to my major. I'd eventually like to pursue Applied Behavioral Analysis or Clinical Psychology in Grad school. Any tips? #college-minor #college #college-major #psychology...
