Are UC (University of California) schools not preferable for premed?

I read something online that UC schools aren't the best for premed because of the amount of students that attend the schools, and because of the harsh grading curve. Is this true? Should I consider applying to other schools such as University of Washington? #doctor #premed #medical_school...

What is a doctor's work schedule like?

Vacation days? How many hours/days a week? Amount of stress? How would this schedule compare to that of a nurse practitioner? #nurse #doctor #medicine #nurse-practitioner #pediatrician

In psychology major, students need to get a graduate degree in order to earn enough for living. Why don't schools just inform their students about the labor market and the steps needed to take to succeed before choosing a major?

Looking for a graduate school while still being stuck with the college loan.

Why do students graduating from social science get paid just above minimum wage but our labor market is short of this workforce?

I don't know what to pursue in, and I can't find motivation to find it either.

I don't feel motivated by anything to try and find out what I want to do. I thought I might've have wanted to go into the computer science field, but now I realized that it's not the direction I think I should go. So I don't know what I want to do now. #career #computer-science #career-choice...

What’s the difference between marketing and advertising and what would a job in these fields look like?

I think I might be interested in advertising, but I’m not exactly sure what such a job would look like. I think if I knew what a job could look like I might be able to identify whether I might have an interest or aptitude for a similar field. #marketing #marketing
