How can you best find internships, jobs, networking opportunities and etc in college Is it mainly by asking your professors and other staff members?
Wow, it has been way too long since I've used this. Well, here are some updates about myself: I'm sixteen now, I just finished 10th grade at JD Clement Early College, and I've decided that I want to major in English and minor in journalism. I actually joined Hillside's theatre department and jazz band (playing the guitar), and I was second-cast (behind a senior) for a main role in Seussical: the Musical as Jojo. I'm mainly invested in my creative writing now, and have a few manuscripts of stories that I've already finished—although I will continue doing theatre and jazz band. I know that I may not make much money from publishing books, and I've decided that I would also like to find a job that is still related to writing, even if it isn't fictional writing. Should I just talk to people in the English department?

I am lost. How to find alignment with what you want?
I have goals and dreams before graduation, and I should have a job offer. Here I am two weeks before graduation, in a rut. I have my ultimate dream internship. However, my experience was cut short since I moved to a remote setup. My goal for 4 years was to land an internship outside my province. I did it. And so what now? I feel hopeless.

I want to do a lot of things but still stuck of what feels true to me at the moment.

MBA or Keep looking for a job?
I recently just got accepted to an MBA program with a good scholarship and I don't know if I should take it. It also means moving across the world, back home with the program starting in 2 months and I don't know if I'm ready for a change like that in such a short time span. The reason I'm doing an MBA is largely because I don't feel equipped at work and lack the business knowledge. I also want to start a business one day and I don't have the skills for that. I've also been job searching for the past year and I haven't had any luck with it. Mainly because I'm unsure about my direction. Would you recommend pursuing an MBA?

I am looking into being an aesthetician, but I am not sure if I will be successful?
I am in high school and wanting to be an aesthetician, I already have a medical spa I can work at, and I am not planning on going to college, but I am planning on going to a beauty college. If you have experience with this, can you tell me how easy it is to be successful, get clients, and if I can even be successful only going to a beauty college like Clary Sage or Paul Mitchell or if there are better schools. I have many questions but mainly I am unsure If this path will work out or if I can even make good money not being able to do filler or Botox since I won't have a medical degree, but I love aesthetics.

Is there a place that teaches the Japanese language online, and what are some ways to get into an art focused job in Japan? #Spring26
I am a Senior in high-school right now, and I'm going to go to college to study art. My dream is to go live in Japan one day, and either teach art or join a company and be a character designer. The school I am going to attend does not teach the Japanese language, and I am guessing there are very few collages that do. Does anyone know of an online, or in-person Japanese course that is quality and affordable? Also, any tips on getting an art-focused career in Japan? Thank y'all!

How do I build a life that is genuinely successful, not just one that looks successful on paper, where my college choice, career path, and daily habits all line up with who I actually want to become rather than who I feel pressured to be #Spring26?
I am someone who is ambitious and wants to do well in life, especially in college and in my future career. I care about success, stability, and making smart decisions early, but I also do not want to end up pursuing something just because other people see it as impressive. I want to find a path that fits me as a person, not just as a résumé. I sometimes wonder how to separate my real goals from outside pressure, and how to know whether I am building a future that will actually make me fulfilled.
