What's the best way to get started in learning about nonprofit management ?
I have a strong interest in becoming a librarian, and I especially love the community engagement aspect of the job, so my main goal right now is to pursue a Master's in Library and Information Science. However, I've been thinking a lot about my career plans for the distant future, and I think I would be interested in starting a nonprofit at some point. I've been casually browsing MBA programs, but it doesn't seem like many offer a specific concentration in the nonprofit sector. So, what kinds of courses should I look for after completing foundational courses, as someone who has never taken business classes? As I said, this is for the far future. I just started my first full-time job a few weeks ago, so I'm in no rush. I'm just charting the course a bit.

How do I find entry-level remote opportunities that align with my certifications as a Business Administration student?
Hi everyone, I'm currently in my first term of a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at the University of the People (an online US university), and I've just started my academic journey (week 2). Alongside my studies, I've been building practical skills through professional certificates on Coursera, including Google Project Management and Meta Social Media Marketing Associate. I'm also currently working on Google Digital Marketing & E-Commerce, Google Data Analytics, and Meta Marketing Analytics. In addition, I have some hands-on experience managing a small home-based business for handmade sweets. I handled the financial side by tracking costs and profits, organizing data using Google Sheets, and helping plan operations. I would describe myself as detail-oriented and precise in my work. I enjoy organizing information, creating schedules, and planning projects efficiently. I'm also creative and comfortable using tools like Canva for various design tasks, as well as PowerPoint for presentations, and I have basic video editing skills using CapCut or other editing apps. I'm very motivated to gain real-world experience early, especially through a remote job or internship that I can manage alongside my studies. Given my beginner status but growing skill set, I would really appreciate any advice on: - Entry-level remote job opportunities or internships
-Roles that align with my certifications (project management, marketing, analytics)
-Platforms or strategies to find legitimate remote work
-Skills I should prioritize to increase my chances of getting hired Thank you in advance for your guidance!

How do I choose! I am a high school senior starting college in the fall as an undecided major. Like many 17-year-olds, I’m still figuring out what I want to do long-term. I’ve always had a strong passion for teaching, but my mom encourages me to pursue healthcare for financial stability, and my dad suggests business administration for similar reasons. We all know most educators are underpaid! Are there areas within education or education-related careers that offer higher earning potential while still allowing me to work in the field of teaching or education? Do I just go with my passion and not cave in to my parents? #Spring26

Is Starting an Online Business Administration Degree in 2026 a Strong Career Path?
Hello, I am planning to begin a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2026 at UoPeople, an online university. My long-term goal is to pursue a strong career in business or possibly continue to a master’s degree in a well-ranked, in-person university. I would appreciate professional insight on a few points: How does a Business Administration degree look in terms of career prospects in 2026 and beyond?

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.
