Is a minor in legal studies or something business/finance related a better fit for me?
I'm a college freshman double majoring in political science and philosophy. I'd like to declare a minor later on, but i'm not sure if I should go the legal studies route or something related to business/ finance. Legal studies would help prepare me for law school, but I'm interested in corporate law so I know having some background knowledge in business will also help me down the line. I'm already majoring in political science to help me in law school and philosophy to help me on the LSAT and bar, so I know legal studies can seem like i'm pushing it a little, but you can never be too prepared for law school.

I am a High School senior and am hoping to get a degree in Business Administration and then take 2 years of religious studies.

What would be the best business major for someone going into dentistry?
Hi! I'm currently a junior in high school and I'm especially interested in dentistry as I'm aiming to become an orthodontist in the future. I've heard different things about suggested majors to choose while in undergrad, mainly bio or chem. I'm considering being a business major even if I need to take extra classes for pre-reqs as I think it'd be good preparation if I were to ever have my own dental practice so I'd at least know something about how to. Other options I'm heavily considering are Public Health and maybe (?) Microbiology? I'm really looking forward to pursuing this career, I'm just a little lost on where to start, so any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Which Career Path, Major, & Industry Should I Go Into?

I’ve spent the past four years fully immersed in business and marketing—I’ve worked as a marketing intern, served as a state officer for Business Professionals of America, and received multiple awards in the field. I would also say I have a talent for it as I am very creative and business minded. However, recently I’ve experienced a shift. I’ve been deeply drawn to advocacy—especially in supporting underserved communities, advancing youth education globally, and championing women’s rights and access to resources. It feels like this is what I’m truly meant to do, and I want to take that passion to a professional level. I’ve started looking into careers in law, policy, and even advocacy-focused marketing, but I’m still uncertain about the right direction to pursue in college. As someone who’s navigating this transition, I’d be so grateful for any advice you could offer—whether on combining these interests or exploring pathways that align with my purpose.
