Is it safe to take gap years for internships

Most people drop out to pursue a job opportunity, but I would prefer not to go down that path however is it recommended to go through with a presented job/internship or to continue with school until the very end? #career #experience

How can I be sure that these classes will help me get a profitable career or land internships?

I hear a lot that degrees don't mean much any more and I want to make sure that I am not going to school to get the same result as if I did not. #career-path #career

Is a Master's degree necessary?

I am pursuing an engineering major and was wondering if I should pursue a Bachelor's degree or a Master's. Is it necessary for engineering students to continue their studies after undergrad? Also, is a BS degree a lot more practical than a BA degree?

Does ABET accreditation matter?

I am pursuing an Engineering major, specifically computer engineering, but the program at my school that I will attend is not ABET accredited. Does it matter much? Will it affect my career path?
(the school I will most likely attend is University of California, San Diego)

For physical therapists.. to go into programs accredited by CAPTE, would schools consider choosing students who've gotten health related majors?

I'm looking into physical therapy. The CAPTE programs in universities like San Francisco and Sacramento don't have any references on what majors would work well for the student. I'm not confident yet if I want to go on this field, but it would help. #physicaltherapy #college-recruiting

Is FBLA good on college apps?

FBLA is a relatively smaller club at my school, and I've done fairly well in it, and it seems a bit easier than another club like, say, Speech and Debate. Does it have the same weight and gravity as other clubs on college apps?
