I believe most people answering the questions on careervillage are mainly people who are willing to help students find their way as they grow older. As a person who is helping others such as us students on career village, are you satisfied with where you are now #college #career #jobs #life

I know a couple people who have graduated college and have not a job specific to their majors. Depending on the field, they either work in low-paying jobs still trying to find higher wage jobs while others work in jobs that are related but not specific to their major #college #school #major #degree

The real world (I'm assuming) is definitely different from the college bubble. Before I graduate college, what should I prepare for /expect from the real world? #college #graduate-school

I am thinking about going to a school in the city instead of a school from upstate. I want to know how many college credits will transfer over if I completed all my gen eds in the upstate college. #college #gpa #credits

haha just doing a little wondering. At what age were you when you felt like you were at the happy moment?

Just wondering if along the journey to reaching your goals, if anyone has ever helped you or offered you advice that really helped you progress. What advice did they have or what did they do to help you ? #career #advice

you know, same old, just want to make my future positive ! :D #career #future

I guess I just don't want to have to look back and wish I did something else #career #life

Okay so to rephrase, I want to know if after you have reached your dreams, if you do that is, do you climb more into the management ladder of your field? #career #jobs #money

Are there organizations or something that you would recommend I join/do in the community? What is a good way to start getting involved ? #career #job #community #community-involvement

When working at a job, or even daily life, what types of skills do you have that help you on a day to day basis? #career #jobs #skills

Was there a moment in your life when you decided to change and try to be a better person? What caused this change? Is there a certain age in which you believe you have to start to be responsible for everything that you do; school billing, jobs.. #career #job #person

What are the greater benefits of going to an ivy league college vs. a standard college? How can Ivy leagues give you a better future? #college #career #standard

Is there a better way to sort out many of the teenagers confusion, by letting them known about which areas they are good at and at which areas they are going to excel? This will give them a clear view about their future. #engineering #medicine #law #architecture #high-school #arts #politics...

I'm a communications major and business minor, since these interests are very general, what are the types of jobs you can find in these fields? #college #career #major #field

I've noticed that high school definitely emphasized the idea of going to college and getting good grades. If you are a person who started their career right after you have graduated highschool, do you have any regrets or wish you should have gone to college? #college #career #high-school #life

Assuming you graduated high school, college, and you're moving up, are there any specific steps you had to pass in order to reach your career? I am hoping more than one person would answer so that I can compare the answers and see if there are any similarities and differences. Thank you!...

funds, funds, funds. Getting education is very expensive, so making it out 4 years in college with debt is a common thing to happen. How can we lessen our debts? #college #career #money

My parents have provided me with so much all my life and presently, I feel so bad for asking them for help on anything. A semester ago I did not have any money at all in my name and when my friends would want to hang out or if I had an event, I wouldn't go. Since I dorm in college, I also did...

We've all been there where we dislike the manager in our job. So, what makes a manager a good manager? When you are working at a job, what makes you respect this person ? #career #jobs

Going to college, there is an option of going to another country and studying abroad. I want to ask anyone who has gone abroad how their life has changed and how it has impacted the steps you took in the future. #career #money #future

I work a minimum pay job, and I want to show my boss that can do well/ better. I want them to know that I am dependable and can do things on my own. How can I impress them? (Considering the fact that the job is a minimum wage job) #career #money #job

Working a minimum pay job ($9) and having only 30 hours a week I think is not that much money. I like to spend money which I know is really bad. I need to learn how to stop spending all my money. How can I save money and put it to greater use? #career #jobs #money

This question may be un-attainable to be honest. I wanted to know if anyone out there doesn't rely on money as much. Knowing that our country relies so much on financial aid and currency, how can I rely less on money, if possible? #career #money

Super general, I just wanted to ask if there was something that you have done to impact your life for the better. What made you succeed at what you do, and how did you go about doing this? #career #work #life #success

This is also a pretty general question. In your field of work, whatever you are doing, what pushes you to try and perform better than the other people around you. What's that thing that really inspires you to be the best you? #career #success #motivation #passion

The question was worded very differently from what I am trying to ask.To clarify, even though I had tried very hard to get a good overall GPA for my second semester in college, I still seemed to get lower than a 3.0 GPA. So, I believe that even when I tried my best I still didn't get the grades...

Throughout high school, I noticed that most teachers prefer a student that is loud and opinionated. Me on the other hand, would be loud when it came to talking with my friends and family. Are the students that speak up and talk the people who in the future become the most successful? #school...

I think that many of us take our homes as guaranteed, especially if our family still supports us. We don't realize how much money they use to support us. So, what is the salary we have to earn in order to live by ourselves? What is the salary we have to earn in order to sustain a family or 2?...

This isn't really a career question, but I believe it's relevant in all the perspectives of our lives. How can I better myself with family, school, friends? How long will it take to reach my full potential?

As a college student, I'm worried about the future like many others. As a communications major, how can I get intermediate level jobs when I only work minimum pay jobs at the present moment? #career #job

The subject of communications is a pretty general. What type of jobs can I get in the communications field and how can I get good jobs in that field? What do people who have communication major degrees do? #jobs #major #communications

A big part of our lives is financial security, and it seems as if most people will get a job just for the money although they might not like the job. As a person who works without any love for what you do, are you satisfied with your life ? As a person who is passionate in what you do but does...

I am applying to jobs, and I (hopefully) will be getting calls back for interviews. How can I stand out, or give a great first impression to the hiring manager? As an anxious person, I tend to stutter and look around a lot. I know that this habit is bad, so what can I do to make up for...

Since there are so many people who apply for jobs, what makes a person stand out? What catches your attention or makes you want them as part of your workforce? I am referring to entry-level jobs specifically, but I believe that there are qualities of a person that can get them hired at all...

I have an interest in a few things; fashion, advertising, and other miscellaneous subjects. I have figured out what I want to do in the future (fashion merchandiser) but the problem is that I always have this little doubt in the back of my mind. This doubt pesters me and produces insecure...

Since I came to college, it was hard adjusting to a new place and having a lot of independence. During my first semester, I took a turn going the wrong direction. I would not go to class, and it hit me hard the end of the semester when I realized I had done really badly. I am trying to improve...

I've recently started school a year ago, and sadly I haven't been as active as I could have been. Now, I am applying for jobs but I am getting no replies. I was redoing my resume and realized that most of my volunteer work come from high school and that the experience is irrelevant now....

I'm a college student, my major is Internet and Information Technology. Bc I want to be a gaming designer or development That's why I really want to have more experience in C++ area. But my school only have one C++ classes for my major to get the degree. there are other two C++ classes in my...

I found that many jobs, even jobs that traditionally were entry level, require previous work experience. Where can one go to find experience when everyone requires experience? #volunteering #career-plan #business-networking

I would like to be an intern for the summer but don't know a law firm that hires a 16 year old junior. #law #communications #communication #intern #pre-law #new-york #junior

I want to get a grant because I know you don't have to pay them back. #graduate #financial-aid #grants

I have recently been browsing some jobs online as any college student would to be able to do something over the summer. However, it seems sketchy and unconventional that how are people able to work from home and make more than one can imagine. The past year I worked as delivery and it was a...

I am asking this question because I am planning on becoming a medical doctor but I am not sure if I want to specialize or practice family medicine. #medicine #family-medicine

I am asking this question because most students planning on attending medical school find it difficult as to what is the right time to engage in a suitable research project without any form of hindrances. #medicine #pre-med

So, when I was younger I always thought I'd like physics and took a class this semester in college. I would love to learn the material, but had to drop it after it became apparent the class would negatively affect my G.P.A. Now I'm caught in a dilemma, do I take the class again next semester...

What type of work is usually done by a mechanical engineer working for a company? Is it largely desk-work and modeling? Is there any product testing? How multidisciplinary is your work? Is there a problem with intellectual property between you and a company? Would you recommend staying...

I have always been fascinated by the medical profession, and I would like to gain some more insight on how a person can gauge whether medical school would be a good career option. #college #medical-school

I'm #undecided whether to become a civil or mechanical engineer. I know that America, where I live, needs about 3.6 trillion dollars by 2020 to address infrastructure repairs and that the bureau of labor statistics estimates that civil engineers have the highest growth projection (by demand)...

I would like to know some recommendations for productive ways to spend the summer after graduation from high school. #college #college-bound
