Career Help!! I would love some help if anybody can recommend any pathways to look into. Thank you so much!?
Hi there, I am in Year 11 (sophomore year) and I am struggling to connect to any jobs that match my interests but also match my personality and lifestyle. I love psychology, history, research, journalism, and statistics. I am very passionate about climate change and human rights, so I would love a career in which I can help others (I am also a very empathetic person so that also contributes to my desire to help others). I know that I want a good work-life balance - possibly a career where I can make my own business - and possibilities to earn a decent salary. I also can be quite anxious, so working in a corporate 9-5 setting sounds like my nightmare!! I would love some help if anybody can recommend any pathways to look into. Thank you so much!

I have to take fine arts at my school, but which should I choose if I want to be a doctor? Does it matter at all?
My school has a fine arts requirement to graduate. I would like to become a doctor and am not very interested in art. What genre of classes are best for my situation? My school offers choir, band, orchestra, theatre arts, visual arts, dance, technical theatre, and art history at various levels and subgenres. Does it even matter that much and should I choose any of them? This is high school, by the way!

Advice/tips for gap year students?
Hey, I'm an incoming freshman electing to take a gap year due to various concerns. Just curious if there's anything people would recommend -- not only prepare for a successful college career but also as a person in the long run. I'm currently interning in the curitorial department at a museum (since I'm interested in art history) and may tutor some U.S. History if possible. I'm just worried that I won't be able to write frequently and precisely during my gap year as if I were in an academic setting(English is not my native language, but I went to a U.S. boarding school & college). Thank you so much in advance for your kindness :)) #gap-year #art-history
How easy would it be to be hired at an art auction house/art gallery without Art/Art History as a major?
I intend to study Political Science and minor in Art History, but I have heard that many people within the art world are majors in art/visual art/art history. I wanted to deal with the business side of art, but wasn't sure if my minor would be acceptable to the likes of Sotheby's, Christie's, etc. #art #art-history #galleries #careers #business

I am thinking about double majoring in nonprofit organizations and art history. Is this a good idea?
In the future I would like to eventually work in a museum and or gallery. I would preferably like to work my way up to becoming in charge of a museum or something of that nature. I know most museums now a days are nonprofit so would teaming up majors be a smart decision? All I am for sure of right now is that I would really like to work with in the art world. #college #college-major #art #nonprofits #museums #art-history #galleries
