I'm looking to go into a career in engineering, and I've applied to UW, but am also applying to WSU as a backup. My GPA is well above 3.5, so I know that I can get into UW for sure (they have guaranteed admission for those with a GPA of 3.5 or greater). If I don't make it into engineering at...

I'm 20 and have been enrolled in community college since I was 16. It's been a roller-coaster as far as my academic performance; I've done well in many classes and failed just as many. I think the biggest factor of my failures is my tendency to procrastinate when I get overwhelmed or stressed....

I heard quite a few people saying that their majors are actually not what they want or like after graduation, and that this scared them since they have put some much money, time, and effort in college life. I wonder how should one cope with such situation? #college-major #career-path...

I'm recently graduated and thought about applying jobs in Americorps, however, I heard that their jobs are very low-paid. I do not expect myself getting a high paid job right after I graduated from college as it is unrealistic, but I do hope to find a job that is intermediate-paid so that I...
