Is it possible to have a Pass in Mathematics and still eye scholarships in abroad or other countries ? How slim is it? What is the best advice you can give me?
I studied Mathematics in a prestigious institution and I tried holding on to 2:2 (Second class lower) right from 100-300 level but as life and situations will have it I finished with a Pass (3rd class). Dreams felt impossible and I scared of the next step to take.

What to study to become Detective?
What path in studies and all should I pursue if I plan to become a detective(like in law enforcement, probably like CID/CBI/FBI, etc.), (without being a patrol officer and all first, and then taking the long-term journey?) Also, will the same path work out for an investigative psychologist? If not, then what path should I pursue in this case? Can I work in(or with) law enforcement in this case?
Advice for picking between Orthodontist and Dental Hygienist?
Hi! I'm a rising senior that's been interested in dentistry for over a year now and I wanted some advice for which career to pick within it. For a while, I've wanted to be an orthodontist; however, after really looking into the huge amount of debt that comes with it, I'm not so sure if it's something I can manage. I am interested in becoming an orthodontist, but I'm not sure how doable it is, especially for paying off debt. I know there's also a huge difference between the years in school for an Orthodontist versus a Dental Hygienist, and I've heard very good things about both regarding their lifestyle. I'm looking for a career that will pay well, be stable long term, and preferably as least stressful as possible. Any advice is welcomed, thanks!

Being a student, I can't afford any chargeable sessions, and for maintaining my confidentiality, I'd like to avoid any video/voice calls.

Why do careers get wipedout by a newer technology or advancement in civilisation?
Why do careers get wiped out by a newer technology and advancement in civilisation? Is it really to be considered a wipe out or more of a transition? Why does it feel pain to see a career shift or total annihilation of certain workforce especially does at their time being which seem totally untouchable and are considered the pinnacle of a job career one can attain? Lastly if you've experienced such in the past, how does it feel like? Is your experience helping you now that this new career shift is happening with AI?

How to get a pharmacy technician job without any degree or experience?
Hello! I’m an incoming freshman, about to attend college this fall. Therefore, I have no experience or degree for any medical field yet. However, I searched online and saw that you don’t need experience working as a pharmacy technician in a retail store, sometimes even in hospital. I’m in a pre nursing major, and it has nothing to do with pharmacy except that they both are medical related field. I thought I could try applying for some retail jobs in CVS and/or Walgreen and get those pharmacy tech skills. But I got rejected both times when I applied. I think they mostly want people with experience working in the position. Do you know what I can do to maybe increase the likelihood of getting into there? I heard if I start out working as a cashier in CVS, there’s a more likelihood that I can be promoted to working in the pharmacy area. Is it true? I’m not as serious about pharm tech jobs as of right now, that’s why I wanna try working there to see if I like this job or not. Thank you!

What associates are worth it in 2026?
I’m currently a Registered Behavior Technician making $22/hr and am looking into associate degree options because I’m feeling pretty burned out in my current field. Unfortunately, due to working full time and having bills to pay, programs that require clinicals aren’t really realistic for me right now. One thing I’m struggling with is that a lot of the careers I’ve looked into seem to want experience that I don’t have. I’m also not sure whether my experience as an RBT would be considered relevant healthcare experience for non-clinical hospital or healthcare roles. I live in a smaller city in Brevard County, so there aren’t a ton of job openings for some of the careers I’ve been researching. So far, I’ve been considering Business Administration, Office Management, and Health Information Technology. My goal is to transition into a stable career that pays at least close to what I’m making now, with opportunities for growth and advancement. I’d be willing to take a small pay cut if it led to better long-term career. I’m just trying to find a realistic path that fits my situation.
Which career would suit me based on the way I think and what I enjoy.?
One thing I've noticed is that I'm fairly good at reading people's emotions and picking up on how they're feeling, even when they don't say it directly. I'm also naturally curious about why people think and behave the way they do. If I could, I'd love to understand the mind of the person in front of me. I love mythology a lot and love learning about different myths(got this love from Percy Jackson) Another thing about me is that I rarely accept an idea at face value. Whenever I support a statement, I almost immediately start thinking of its weaknesses. After a minute or two of deep thought, I can usually come up with a convincing argument against it. Then I often find myself questioning that argument too, creating another opposing statement. And the series of contradictions goes on. Plus, I love those high and mighty rivalry talks you mostly get to see between enemies and all. Makes me feel royal- and I love feeling royal. I am fairly good at academics, but I tend to forget it easily. And I particularly don't like Science much. Because in physics and chemistry, most of the things aren't very clear; I am still unable to get the meaning of velocity(How does distance play a role in it...So I take it as speed in displacement) Outside of academics, I love reading manga, manhwa, and books, especially fantasy, science fiction, psychological, and mystery stories. I also enjoy anime—both mainstream series and those with deeper psychological or philosophical themes. I'm drawn to stories that explore complex characters, moral dilemmas, and human nature more than series that only contain battles. Some of them I love are: Percy Jackson, A Song of Ice and Fire, One Piece, Tokyo Revengers, Naruto, Tomodachi Games and thousands of others.But, I am no good at drawing. I'm especially interested in psychology, human behaviour, and understanding how people think. I would love to read the mind of the person in front of me. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want a job where I spend the entire day sitting alone reading or reviewing long documents, reports or graphs(I hate statistics). I have considered careers like a detective specialised in psychology, a forensic psychologist, an author and all. I would love a career with some adventure. Based on this, what careers do you think would genuinely fit my personality, strengths, and interests? I'm looking for suggestions beyond the obvious ones like "psychologist,"(I could consider it, but it's not the best one) especially careers that involve analysis, investigation, strategy, behaviour, or decision-making. Also, the career should have a good salary. But please, try to recommend me a career that would be kind of adventorous for me, one that I would enjoy.
Help me find a Job.
I recently completed my Master’s in Economics, and I am currently feeling quite lost about what direction to take. While people often assume that completing a master’s degree means having a clear career path, I honestly do not feel that way right now. My course was largely theoretical, and I have realized that I lack many of the practical and quantitative skills that seem to be expected in today’s job market. Initially, I wanted to become a professor. I genuinely enjoy teaching, and the idea of being in academia, doing research, and engaging deeply with a subject is something that still interests me. However, I have not been able to clear the exams required to become eligible for teaching positions, and it has made me question whether I should continue pursuing this path or consider other options. I want to clarify that my goal has always been to become a professor rather than simply take up teaching as a job. At the same time, I am now open to exploring other career paths if they align with my background and interests. The challenge is that I do not know where to start. If I decide to switch roles or move into a different field, I feel like I would be starting from scratch. I do not have a strong practical or quantitative skill set, and I am unsure about what I should learn, how to learn it, and which career paths would actually be realistic for someone with my background. Before suggesting internships or entry-level roles as the first step, I want to mention that I have already tried applying for them. Unfortunately, I have struggled to even get interview opportunities, which has made me realize that I may need to first build the right skills and profile to become a stronger candidate. For people working in economics, research, data, consulting, academia, or related fields, I would really appreciate your advice: * What skills should someone with a theoretical economics background build to become employable? * Should I start with quantitative tools like statistics, econometrics, Python, R, SQL, etc.? If yes, what would be the right order to learn them? * What career options are realistic for someone with a Master’s in Economics but limited practical experience? * Is it possible to transition into research-oriented roles, and what steps would help make that happen? * If I decide to move away from academia, what fields would make sense to explore? I would genuinely appreciate guidance from individuals who have experience in this area or have undergone a similar transition.
Is Nuclear Neuroradiologist a real career path I can take?
I've been on a long journey trying to find a career I want to pursue, and this one sounds very promising to me. However, the only problem is that I can't find any real information about it besides AI overviews. I'm starting to believe this isn't a viable option to consider. If anyone has real information about this career, please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it.
What was the biggest goal that you achieved during your journey?
I would like to know, and how did you feel about it? Humble, Tired, etc... Some people get pretty high scores on their MCAT, while others pass their CFA exams. People get to do their dream job while others do entrepreneurship. Did you tell should your family about the goal you completed that was huge, or was it a quiet thing. What do you plan to do after completing this goal, and how will it affect you? Are you satisfied with yourself, do you think you could've done anything better while completing this goal? How much did you have to go through to complete this? What were the good choices you made that helped?
Is pursuing a bachelor’s in Biotechnology in Malaysia a good decision in terms of long-term career prospects ?
I am currently facing a career decision and would like guidance. I originally wanted to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, but many people around me are advising me to reconsider because they believe the field has limited job opportunities and low market demand. I applied to NUST for Biotechnology, but due to limited preparation time I did not score well enough to secure admission (although final merit lists have not been released yet, my chances seem low based on my marks). Before that, I had also applied to universities abroad, including Malaysia and Turkey. However, after deciding to stay in Pakistan, most of the application deadlines for Turkish and other universities passed, except for Malaysia. I have now received offers from two Malaysian universities: Taylor’s University with a 50% scholarship and INTI University with a 45% scholarship. However, I am now hearing concerns that Malaysia also does not have a strong biotechnology job market, which is making me reconsider my decision. At the same time, I am thinking about whether it would be possible or realistic to go to another country for higher studies (Master’s or further education) after completing my bachelor’s degree in Malaysia. Given all of this, I would like advice on the following: Is pursuing a bachelor’s in Biotechnology in Malaysia a good decision in terms of long-term career prospects? And is it a viable pathway to later pursue higher studies or work opportunities in other countries, even if the local Malaysian biotech job market is limited?

Common misconceptions of astronauts?
I'm a 7th grader who hopes to pursue a career in aerospace and eventually become an astronaut.

What misconceptions do ambitious students have about becoming astronauts that can actually hurt their chances in the long run?

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?
How can I become a CNA ( without any expensive funds) as a 17 year old who's school doesn't offer CNA classes, & with limited resources ? My local community college offers it but it cost almost 2000$, any opportunities!?
