Vernon, Connecticut

Hello, I would like to get in touch with current professionals within the clinical / counseling / therapy / social work field. I would like to know the pros and cons, challenges, and what an average day would look like!

I find political science and anthropology both very interesting, but I'm not sure that I want to carry these out through all four years and make it my career because I also have many other passions.

I worried that I might not get into my dream school. #college

I've heard interpersonal skills, patience, and organization, but it would be nice to learn about something that I wouldn't expect but could definetly help me. #psychology #skills

I think it's fair to say that a decent chunk of people will say they chose a certain job because in the long run they'd be happy to show up there everyday. The side I don't usually hear from are the people that chose a specific career solely based on the amount of money they'd make. I wanted to...

Looking to go into the education field. #college #education #education-management

I am quite nervous about going to a large college (roughly 20,000). I wish to make my application stand out to future employers by getting involved with the school however I am not sure what exactly would make me stand out as an individual.

I am currently looking at a study abroad program which involves my specific major(Pharmacy), however, I am worried that not taking the rigorous classes on campus would make me less attractive to future employers.

They say its not what you know, but who you know...is this just a saying or is there more truth to it than I think? #networking

I'm newly returning to school after taking a few years off and completely changing my degree to finance. I'm good with numbers, but still not entirely sure which route to go after college. #finance

Taking 6-7 classes in a row in one day for high school can be a grueling task, but I have heard that most people take far fewer in college with breaks in between. What should I expect going into freshman year? #class #freshman

I am currently a high school senior anxious to get out of high school and pursue a major in finance. I have received many mixed messages regarding the workload of an average college student (which makes sense), but I would like to know more specifically what the workload would be for my major?...

I’m worried about getting physically lost and not knowing where I am going, and therefore being late or missing a class. How quickly do you get the hang of it? And what are some tips for learning your way around? #campuslife

Money is important. We all want to be able to live comfortably. If I get an opportunity to have a stable job with a steady income that I’m not necessarily in love with, real talk should I take it? Or try to find what makes me “happy.”
#dreamjob #moneyversushappiness

I'm asking because I cannot imagine myself in the future at the moment, so I am curious about when that feeling comes and what that feeling actually is. #success

I'm asking because I am currently undecided about my major in college and ultimately, what career I want to pursue as well. #clueless

I"m curious when a college student should start looking for internships. #internships

My degree will be a Bachelors of Music with only room for a few liberal arts classes. I hope to get advice on what courses are good to round out my knowledge. #vocalperformance

I am not sure what classes are available to me as a freshmen besides English 9.

We are all pressured in high school to know what we want to do for a career when we grow up but how should we know? What happens if we get into $50,000 in debt for college to become a vet and then realize we want to be a police officer? Then what do we do? #debt

I want to be a probation officer but I don't know if I want to be for adults or juveniles. What types of things should I consider while makin my decision? #helpingothers -makeadifference-lawenforcement-army-psycologist-counselor

Considering majoring in psychology because I find the subject matter interesting but unsure of what jobs there are beyond research and psychologist #psychology #what-kind-of-jobs-can-i-expect.

I have no indication of any field I particularly enjoy and would want to spend the future working in. I don't have much of an idea on how to try and narrow down my interests and decide on a major #college-majors #career-choice

In college I want to double major in writing and engineering. I'm really passionate about writing it's my favorite subject and thing to do. I'm getting more into the field of engineer and I enjoy it minus all the math #electrical-and-electronic-manufacturing

A lot of people apply for scholarships online, so I want to know that if I apply for a scholarship, what are the chances of me getting it? What are some better ways that I can get a scholarship?

In the future, I plan to go to a college for a computer science and cyber security major. I just haven't been able to find the "perfect" college. I thought I would ask for people's opinion who are actually in the field of study. Thank you. #computer-science #computer #computer-security
