how to make my subject strong ?
I plan to pursue Computer Science as my major, and I would like to know what additional activities I should focus on beyond my college coursework to strengthen my profile and improve my chances of getting into a good university. I am especially interested in learning about online courses, summer camps, online programming platforms or other programs that I can apply for to build my skills and gain more experience in this field
How do you figure out what career you want to pursue in life?
I'm and advanced student and am on path to learn calculus when I'm a junior in highschool, I accel in all other courses I think hospitals are amazing and I once thought of becoming a psychiatrist as a long term goal. Recently I've looked into logistics as well and found it interesting, but I've been getting questions in school for my future career plan, and when I think I just get lost and don't know what what to put down. When I try to picture how people with great jobs got where they are I find myself in doubt that I would be able to accomplish something similar and what position it would be towards. How do you do it?
Recent graduate looking for career guidance and advice on what to do next
Hello, I need career guidance. I recently obtained my qualification in Logistics this year (2025) and I applied for Bachelors of Education for 2026 because I'm worried of not finding a job within my qualification and then I'll have a qualification with no job so I opted for plan b which is the B Ed while I still have time because all I'm looking for is financial stability for myself in the near future. I also regret not doing B Ed as my first qualification because, in my opinion, I think it is rare, not impossible, for teaching graduates to not find employment after completion especially if they need to adhere to certain funding requirements. The advice i need here is that should I wait for 2027 to start B Ed or should I go for it next year 2026 as I had planned, pay registration fee and on campus residence deposit, then apply for funding throughout the year? My application for Funza Lushaka is pending. Should I try other bursaries as I'm studying or should I try finding internships with my Logistics diploma? I'm scared of waiting; all I want is employment, financial stability, financial independence and move at home which is why I have the B Ed as plan B?
Help me find a suitable career(based on the career assessments)?
I am planning on taking a gap year after my graduation as I don't feel passionate about the major i took in college (computer applications). I want to build a strong career (I have no idea which career i want to pursue), build skills from scratch and build child like experiences- Best words I can put it into. I literally have 0 experience on what I want to do. I am from India and I tried applying for online internships but got ignored. I will graduate in a few days and then I will be left questioning my life. I have hardly convened my parents on taking a drop cause I need to find myself. I lowkey find myself interested in - design (mostly Spatial design), business+ enterpreneurship. I have done various career assessments on Google too , here are some of the results: * Holland code : Creating > persuading > organizing> building > helping> thinking * MBTI - INFP-T * Ikigai - You are a natural mix of creativity, structure, deep thinking. Your ideal path is somewhere between design, problem solving and leadership (Did the johari window exercise) {I don't believe in all of this but I have heard that career counsellors these days use all this data to figure out your career paths} * learning style: Visual - INTP * O*NET interest profiler - Realistic, Investigate, Artistic, Social , Enterprising, Conventional. (*Need advice with both tech and non-tech careers) * I want a job which would pay me well
What should I do if I don’t know what I want to do with my life?
I’m in school, but I don’t really know what career or path I want to take. Everyone’s asking me about my goals, but I honestly don’t have a clear answer. Is that okay? What can I do to figure things out slowly?

What do you do, when you don't know what to do with the rest of your life?
How do you know when you are 18 and starting to think about your major what you really want to do with the rest of your life? What if you are unsure? Did they talk to you about careers in high school? Mine didn't. It was accelerated, average, and vocational, oh wait and farmers. Maybe I should get a career in guidance counseling and sit in an office and hope I make it through another year (sarcastically speaking). #interviews #recruiting #guidance-counselor #career-guidance #undecided
