I always get the question on “what do you want to work as?” and my response is always “I’m not sure yet.” Im tired of giving that response and want to truly know what I’m best to specialize in. I’m honestly scared to go to college without having any clue on what I want to be for the rest of my...

Next year I’ll be going to college, and while I am there, I fear that some of the things that I like about myself will change due to the environment I will be a part of. For example, in college, a lot of people attend parties. In my four years of high school, I have never, other than birthday...

I've been having a really tough time trying to get into the swing of being an adult.

I am applying to graduate school, and many scholarships (70% I would say) are specific to undergraduate studies. In addition, there are very specific graduate school scholarships around stem, a field I have no interest in. #stem #college #college-advice #graduate-school #financial-planning...

As medical technology improves, people live longer, healthier lives. Anti-aging technologies are getting better and better. If people start regularly living to 100 or longer, or if human life is extended even further beyond natural limits, how we provide for everyone? How will people in my...

I read Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano" as well as several of his short stories that depict a future in which all "jobs" have been eliminated - machines do everything. The people who have meaningful work find their life has less meaning. They ask, "What are humans FOR?" So, I wonder what...

As a white middle class female, I have not gone through a lot of trauma or heartache in my life. I have a loving family who can provide for me, good friends that I trust and adore, and a future at a well respected university. I have decided to major in neuroscience so that I can help people by...

I will be entering college in the fall and I want to know what strategies I can use to get an internship that I want.#internships

I have found effective ways to study for some classes, but not all of them so I wanted to what other people have done.#studying-tips

I have recently been accepted to one of my top choices for school, but unfortunately the annual tuition is over $50,000 a year. I would rather not have to take out loans and start my working career in debt. #tuition #education

I know that the entertainment industry is a hard field to get into, so I am curious to know the best route to take to achieve my goals. #entertainment #careergoal

I recently was accepted into University of California Santa Barbara and to pay room and board, they recommend $8,000 in loans. Are getting loans a good or bad idea for college? #college-tuition #loans #college

I've been looking into data science careers, and I know that it is closely related with machine learning and big data. I'm confused as to what the difference between data science and machine learning is, and also how big data plays in a part in both fields. What exactly is data science and...

I'm currently a third year computer science major, and I've recently discovered a passion for data science and machine learning. I've been trying to learn more about it, and I've found many online resources (Udacity's data analyst, machine learning nano degrees, Stanford's Intro to Machine...

I am not an athletic person, or a big fan of sports, so I’d like to know what other activities I can be involved in as a sort of “alternative.”

#sports #extracurricular #activities

So right now, I am involved in three programs that I recieve good hours in, but I want to do more hours, as well as having a variety of experience in other fields.

#volunteering #nonprofits #volunteer

I am transferring to a four-year institution this Fall 2018, and I would like to know if I can change my major from one science to another if needed or if I desire.

I'd like to have a lot of jobs when I'm older. I'd like to be an environmental activist, a teacher, an archaeologist, an author, and many more! How can I do all these if I can only go to college to prepare for getting one job?

I'm wanting to become someone that helps the environment when I grow up. It's my preferred field of study and I'm currently taking AP Environmental Science at school and I really want to get involved in it when I go to college.

I love science but I also love writing short stories and sometimes I wonder if I will ever regret not choosing English as my major. I love biology and everything that involves it but how do you know if you are making the correct decision?
#undecided

I have realized that I don't know how to study, I could be reviewing vocabulary and the next day I'll forget it. I have tried many methods but I don't think they are helping.

I currently work as a Behavioral Interventionist. Recently, I've grown an interest on maybe pursuing my graduate studies in Applied Behavior Analysis. What's the process to become a BCBA? How do you make your way up, etc? Thanks! #boardcertified #psychology #aba #behavior-analysis

I'm looking to taking the Registered Behavior Technician Examination soon! Any tips in what I should look forward to? #rbt #psychology #applied-behavior-analysis #behavioral-intervention

I'm currently almost finished with my Bachelor's. I also currently work as a Behavioral Therapist. But are there alternative options? Psychology is a pretty vast field and you can do so much with it. I was wondering on what everyone's thoughts were. #psychology #school #college #associatesdegree

Hello! I have been considering in Minoring in something lately. Of course, I'd like to minor in something beneficial to my major. I'd eventually like to pursue Applied Behavioral Analysis or Clinical Psychology in Grad school. Any tips? #college-minor #college #college-major #psychology...

I was looking into pursuing this field of study for grad school as well. But can anyone who's already in the program/or beginning their graduate studies in the program share their thoughts? #family-therapy #individual-and-family-services #counseling-psychology #therapist #psychology

Currently, I work as a Behavioral Therapist. Would this be a good way to get my foot into the clinical aspect of the psychology field? #clinicalpsychology #psychology #mental-health-counseling

I'm definitely planning on pursuing my graduate studies. But I don't know in what. Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated! #psychology

I get really nervous before a job interview and feel like I may come across as less confident because of my nerves.

I sometimes find it difficult to figure out the best way to study for exams and tests. I feel that no matter how much time I give myself or how early I start studying, I still don't feel as confident as I would like to.

I'm open to answers from both fellow students and former students for this question! I'm currently taking a literature class, and I absolutely love it, but that's in regards to all the novels on our reading syllabus being outstanding reads and my own innate passion for literature. When it comes...

Rather than being one or the other, I'm wondering if you can be both. I'm aware that each type of editor has a different skill set; however, I love the idea of doing both types of editing and I wouldn't want to limit myself to one type. Plus, wouldn't the flexibility of being able to do either...

The veterinary field is a great interest for me so knowing some extra information beforehand seemed like a good idea. Plus i wanted to know what the work load is like for someone in pursuit of this career whether in college (undergraduate,graduate) or already working within the veterinary...

In the future i hope to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and was interested in what they do on a daily basis or what a day for them would look like. Also what makes them stick with the job and causes them to love it. Since it takes years to be able to work as a vet, i wanted to know if...

I'm a third year computer science major, and I've been trying to learn more about data science/big data/machine learning. There aren't any classes offered at the college that I'm attending that cover these topics, and I'm a little lost as to how I would get started in any of these fields. What...

For those who are in the engineering work force, where do you all live? Do most engineers live in major cities, or more in the suburbs? I don't really want to live in a big city, but I am worried that that will hinder my choices at getting a job, at least a first job. Do any of you all live in...

I will be attending college as an engineering major, and I don't know if I want to pursue a graduate degree or not. I was wondering what percentage of the engineering work force only has undergraduate degrees and what percentage has graduate degrees. How significant is the job difference...

I've heard that applying to architecture schools is really competitive. I've looked up some sample portfolios online, and they're always so amazing! I think of myself as an artistic person, but I don't think my art skills are phenomenal. If I don't have fantastic art pieces for my portfolio,...

I'm asking this question because I'm interested in studying architecture in college and maybe making it my career. Before I do decide, I just want to know the difficulties of being an architect and see if it is for me.

My dream career is to be a fiction author, but I know it's not really a financially-stable career, so I've been thinking of being an editor because I really, really love editing writing. I think I have an eye for it since I've always been the one that my peers come to for proofreading and...

I'm not in college yet, so it might be a little early for me to be asking, but I'd really like to be a copy editor for books and I was wondering if I could get an internship at a publishing company in the future, to scope out the environment and get more experience with the job. Will I have...
