Is taking on more than one profession/career in one's life plausible/acceptable?

Part of the nature of being a human is that we change. We take on different hobbies, interests, and personality traits as we age and gather new experiences. This is one thought that has pestered me on my journey to apply to colleges and decide what to do with my life. That being said, I knew...

I am in my 50’s; went back to college after realizing I Love interior design. Is agism a problem in this field, what jobs would be open for an older graduate?

I went back to school after raising children and starting/running a flooring store for 15 years. I know I love the field, especially in the eco friendly areas. I’m concerned at my age of investing in university costs. What jobs would realistically be available for me in Northern California?...

Is FBLA good on college apps?

FBLA is a relatively smaller club at my school, and I've done fairly well in it, and it seems a bit easier than another club like, say, Speech and Debate. Does it have the same weight and gravity as other clubs on college apps?

What mechanisms do you have in place that make it so the atrocities you deal with day-to-day don't spill over into your home life?

One of my biggest concerns regarding a career as a criminal profiler is that I will be unable to disconnect myself from my work once I go home. I imagine the stories and people you meet stay with you and unavoidably haunt you. I am afraid this will ultimately darken my view of life. How do you...

At what point in your college experience is it best to confirm your major?

I like many other high schoolers am not 100% confident of the career I want to pursue yet, but I also do not want to end up spending any extreme time in college than I must. I am afraid that if I do not go in with a set plan, I will not be able to finish in four years. #undecided #whentodecide...
