I'm thinking of taking the 2+2 route, starting at a CC and transferring to a 4-year for my bachelor's. What should I be prepared for? Tips? Advice? Is this the right choice?
I'm a high school senior, 4.3 GPA and going to a CC and transferring feels like I'm failing at life. Dramatic, I know, but there's a lot of pressure on me to go straight to a 4-year. While CC truly is not my top choice, my parents can hardly provide any support for 4-year tuition and I'm not sure how far scholarships can get me. Please give ANY advice you have to work through this problem!

Is it possible to get a good paying job after graduating college with a bachelor's degree?
I want to study psychology and neuroscience in college, and while I'm interested in seeking a master's degree, it's just not financially justifiable. I will already have so much debt after obtaining a bachelor's degree, and searching online what jobs I can get with it didn't help reassure me. It doesn't matter what field you studied in college, I just want to know that it's possible to get a decent job after studying at a 4-year college, and any pursuable plans for getting an even higher degree when you don't have the money for it.
What entry level roles should I look for with an associates in business?
Hello everyone!! I am currently a junior majoring in Business admin with a Concentration in HR. I am supposed to graduate next year, but I am severely burnt out and my mental health is declining. I also had other factors in my life happen recently which made things worse. I am receiving therapy and getting help right now. My plan is to find full time employment, take a semester or two off of school and then resume part time college while working full time. That being said, I have an associates in business with a very strong customer service background. What type of entry level roles should I target with that degree? I am also interested in healthcare/social work and other areas of business as well. I would love to gain experience before I go back to school. Let me know any good ideas!! Thank you!

Feeling lost and stuck. How do you decide what career path to take when you have no experience?
Hello, I’m 23 years old. I am about to graduate next year with Bachelor’s in Business Admin with an HR concentration. I am a fully remote student and feel this has hindered me in a lot of ways such as networking etc. I picked my major mostly because I wanted to help others and I had aspirations of being a social worker or counselor but they require a masters/license. Being that I was pushed back from graduating 2 years due to surgery and other things, I felt pressured to just pick something and graduate. I am doubting my major. It’s not that I don’t have interest in HR but feel completely disconnected due to lack of experience. I also am more introverted/shy and the thought of new hire orientation/recruiting sounds dreadful to me. Everything just feels off to me. The only other things I can switch my major to would be accounting or marketing and not push me back further. I’ve learned you can get into HR without a major and most people just sort of land into HR. Which I didn’t know prior to picking my major. As well as that, there are absolutely no entry level jobs for HR. It’s super upsetting. I have been attempting to get an Internship with no such luck. They are few and far in between. I’ve made it to final rounds but have been rejected. What I really want to do is be a counselor, social worker or nurse/mri tech etc. I would love to work in something medical/helping others. Nursing would set me back 3 years since it’s a totally different path. Rad tech etc are two year programs with pre reqs. I just don’t want to waste my college credits and hard work but I feel very confused at this point. For instance I have about 116 credits, as I changed my major once before and took courses I didn’t need. I will graduate with 146 credit hours. I will graduate at 24, before I turn 25 and I feel old and have absolutely no experience besides retail/fast food jobs. I was supposed to graduate in 2024, so it is upsetting seeing peers graduate. I want to graduate and gain experience and maybe potentially go back to school one day once I actually experience the world. I need a break from school and can’t imagine pushing myself back or enrolling in another program once I graduate. I’m just scared and unsure of my future. I don’t know how to stand out or what my next move should be. I don’t know if I should continue with this Business Admin degree with a concentration in HR, but I fear it is what I mostly align with other than Nursing and such. I don’t even feel confident in saying this is my major because I lost all passion/motivation due to rejects of internships. Being an online student, I also know no one else who went to college. All of my friends are mostly in trades. Do you have advice? I’m feeling lost and struggling a lot.

How can an MBBS graduate become a licensed therapist without pursuing a full psychology degree like a Bachelor’s or Master’s?
I’m currently in medical school and passionate about becoming a therapist, not a psychiatrist. I’ve learned that an MPhil in Clinical Psychology is a direct path, but I’m worried I may not meet the eligibility requirements, as most programs require a strong foundation in psychology. Are there alternative pathways for MBBS graduates to transition into therapy while minimizing time spent on additional degrees? Any guidance on how to proceed would be deeply appreciated!

Meteorologists, how would your degree be applied to the scientific research community, if it would?
As a sophomore who just changed to an Environmental Science A.A., I'm exploring B.S. options that will open up more specialized job opportunities. I love considering how weather patterns change or maintain ecological activities, or even interact with the ocean ... but won't I be pigeon-holed into weatherman positions if meteorology is my major?
Should I switch to a business degree? Or something entirely different? I don't know what to do. Help!
Hello! Soon-to-be college freshman here. I need honest advice. Embarassingly, I am still a little bit confused on what I want to do. Recently, I was considering on changing my major to Business Administration (thankfully, the first day of classes haven't started yet, so changing majors probably won't be that much of a problem compared to the students who decide to switch majors in the middle of the year). I selected BS Psychology when I did my application to my community college. Why I am considering a business degree: - I have an entrepreneural spirit. I love making sales, crunching numbers, budgeting, being independent, marketing/creating marketing material, packing items for shipment, interacting with people, the entire process of it. I love the idea of making a living from my own hard work. - Past experiences. I was in charge of an entrepreneurship project in high school. We had to set up our own physical store, and also promote it; we sold baked goodies. I loved it! It doesn't mean much, but I got the highest mark on my report card in Entrepreneurship. I also currently have an online shop where I sell clothes and have had great success with it. I also setup garage sales by myself here and there. I am able to earn and spend my own money. - I would love to avoid working for somebody in the future (at least in the long run). I want to start my own small business/es. An online business, a café, a salon, etc. I have many ideas. I especially love the creative side of business. I also want to be a professional photographer/artist on the side. It's my true passion. However, advice on the internet all seem to suggest avoiding spending 4 years on a photography degree—just master the craft and make it your side hustle until the time & money is right. Besides, photographers don't make that much. That's what they say. So, I am thinking of freelancing as a side hustle, earning a photography certificate, and maybe start a photo studio business in the future. - I want many career options (I am okay with working in PR, HR or Marketing. Not my ideal dream, but.) - I do well under pressure - I love being a leader However, - People are telling me I can do any of the above without a business degree. Well, what do I do instead, then? - Apparently, the classes are boring? - Business majors get a bad rep. I admit that I am slightly worried about being perceived, although I know I shouldn't be. - The internet says business administration is too broad, and that I should do Finance/Marketing/MIS/Economics, etc. instead (something focused on one subject) - In general, it's "not a good major" The reason why I selected BS Psychology in the first place is because I am interested in the brain and human behavior. I was drawn to a rewarding, intriguing career. Arguably, psych is more interesting than business, but I know I wouldn't have many opportunities with a Bachelor's in Psych without getting a Master's. And I am not thinking of getting a master's, to be honest. So business seems to be more a realistic option. With this in mind, should I minor in Psychology when I transfer from community college? Is that possible? I read that a minor in Psychology can give me a leg up as a business major. Should I switch to a business degree? What do I do?
