I am a pretty intense athlete and I would love to continue playing sports in college. I know pre-med will contain hard courses, so I am worried about how my grades would do, if I continued to splay sports.

My parents are separated, and my mother is barely able to keep my family afloat. Many nights I've had to go to bed hungry because my mother simply couldn't afford to buy food. I work a part-time job, but because my mother asks for money constantly, I lose my paychecks quickly. Nobody is going...

Why I am asking this because I am currently looking for a job and I feel unprepared whenever they would ask me " What is my strongest quality?" or "What is my weakness?". Also, because this year I have applied to some hospitals to volunteer during the summer and I have always been rejected and...

I am currently struggling with being more social since I am more of an introverted person. However, I am challenging myself to be more open to other people and try to be nicer because sometimes I can come off as angry or pessimistic which is what I am not trying to do with people....

A lot of people I know are going to college for a form of marine science, like #marine-biology. Is it already a competitive career? And will it become more competitive? #marine-science #career #biology

It is very time consuming and tedious to apply for one hundred low-value scholarships, but it is difficult for me to write essays for the prompts associated with higher-value scholarships. #scholarships #college-advice #college #financial-services

My name is Ben, and I'm planning on majoring in Molecular Biology, with plans on going to med school. However, because of my passion and talent in music, I am seriously considering to pursue a second degree in music. But after doing some research, I am unsatisfied with the results I have...

I'm majoring in Molecular Biology, and I'm planning on graduating in three years, not necessarily for prestige (though that would be cool!) but mainly because of costs. Using my AP courses, I would likely take 18 semester credit hours a year to complete the required courses on time for med...

I'm moving from Texas to attend San Jose State University, but my father keeps warning me about how much more expensive California is than Houston. I want to know some tips on saving money since I don't want to stress my family out about expenses. Tips on making money would also be...

I plan to major in illustration/animation at San Jose State University but am clueless on how to go about finding a job after college. I've never had an adult who was into the arts the way I was, so I haven't found much solid advice. I realize that it will take time and experience, but my goal...

I am worried that when I register for my classes that I'm going to take too many hard classes and not make the grades I want or possibly even fail.

The closer I get to graduating I wonder if I am going to choose the right major to study. Some days I seem positive that I know what I want to do and others not so much.

I am seeking a Master's Degree in software engineering, with a side degree in video game development. In order to obtain both, I would need to attend one school, get a Master's Degree, and then attend another school that has video game development degrees. Is this a smart idea? Or should I...

I am planning on majoring in journalism at the university I will be attending in the fall, however I am having second thoughts on my choice. I am considering changing my major but I want to at least give journalism a try before doing so. If I eventually decide on changing majors, what year of...

Just trying to figure the game here.

Technical Colleges offer real world training for instant job market readiness. Yet most students and High school push for big Universities and state colleges. I didn't know about my state technical college and found it almost by accident. Since then I have convinced 2 others to join, who...

Some Universities will cost families over 200,000. Loans based on this could take 10-20 years to repay. yet many students come out of college without great opportunities.

I apply for scholarships, but never seem to get them, I was wondering what I could do to improve my chances. #scholarships #financial-services

My family is middle class so we aren't able to qualify for any extra money, and we have bad credit, so we aren't able to apply for any loans. Any suggestions besides scholarships? #financial-services #money

I am registered for websites that show me available scholarships like Cappex, but I still have a very large sum of money per year that I will need to be paying because I am paying for college on my own. #financial-services

I know that recent graduates rarely get a job in the field they majored in in college, and I understand that you have to make connections, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that in a manner where I will be successful. #after-graduation

In high school, the closest thing to a medical degree we have talked about is biology so I don't know what classes, volunteer programs, or internships I should take to help me get into college for pre-med.

#premed #medicine #highschool

I know I want to become a kind of specialist in the medical field but I haven't narrowed it down to which one. I have seen several people during my own doctor's visits shadowing my doctor but my school doesn't provide a way to do this that I know of. So if there are any programs or websites...

I am a female, high school senior considering a career path in upper level mathematics, academia and research. I am very concerned with underrepresentation of women and I would like to know of any first hand experiences. Researching online I find a lot of statistics, but I would like more. Has...

I am a high school senior looking toward a possible career as a math professor. The things is, I have so many other passions like theatre. I am perfectly happy doing art on the side, but I would like to know if I pursue mathematics if it will be a possibility. #mathematics #professor #theatre...

I'm asking because I want to be one and I want to know if that is what fits me. I'm also asking so I can see what the experience is like so if I become one I already know. #engineer

I know this might seem trivial or silly to some people but I think weather could be a really important factor. I've lived in Michigan and Indiana but I've also lived in Texas, both with very different types of weather. I've heard that people who go to school in more northern climates tend to...

I have so many friends who have already figured out what they're going to do with their life and their college reflects that. They want to go to schools with the best nursing department or with a strong accounting department etc. I know I want to go to college but I feel it's hard when I'm not...
