How did you decide in pursuing as a psychologist or LCSW despite the lack of career options at the start or struggles?
Hello I am a junior in high school currently in a program where I am getting my associate arts degree (A.A) when I graduate. I’ve been interested in psychology. As I been doing research since the end of sophomore year. I’m currently undecided whether pursuing as a psychologist or a LCSW as I heard it is far less limiting in the field than a psychologist. As it’s more accessible for patients to go to a LCSW and better to be in a private practice. But I’m not sure because I love psychology. However I would want to be able to have a career that I am passionate about and is a stable job (money wise). I plan to do more school after a bachelors to be able to be a psychologist. I’m just worried that I won’t be able to find a job after bachelors to help sustain myself while being in grad school,etc. It’s just lots of worries about that and for paying it all back after doing more school. I need advice or help if anyone is currently a psychologist or in the career field of psychology/lcsw. Or if you were in my position before!!

Should I pursue biotechnology in BSc?
Heyy! I’ve always wanted to pursue Biotechnology, but I’ve noticed that many universities don’t offer a BSc specifically in Biotechnology. Instead, they usually offer programs like Biomedical Sciences or Biochemistry. This has left me with two choices: either go for Biotechnology at universities I’m not really interested in, or choose Biochemistry or Biomedical Sciences now and specialize in Biotechnology later during my Master’s. Because of this, I’m genuinely confused. If Biotechnology is such a promising field, why do so many universities not offer it as a main BSc degree?

What can I do this summer (summer before senior year) to improve my college applications?
Hello! This summer will be my last summer in high school. This fall, I'll be applying to colleges. I was wondering what things I could do this summer to improve my applications.
