I've been thinking about biomedical engineering, but it seems to be a broad topic. What exactly is it? Are there any good Jobs that go with biomedical engineering?
How can I start preparing to become a mechanical engineer while I am young?
I’m 14 years old, and am very interested in mechanical engineering as a future career. My question is, how do I start? Mark Rober is one of my role models. How can I get to where he is?
What should I know about a career in social work?
Hi :) I'm considering a career in social work and was wondering what a typical day in the life would look like. How much of it is based in technical aspects like answering emails or personal aspects like physically speaking to a client? What is something I should know if im considering a career in this field. Also is there any way that I could have a better chance at landing a well paying job out of uni? I've heard a lot of horror stories about how bad the pay is and have been trying to see how I can even that out. #spring24 Thank you in advance to whoever you are

How do I make connections?
What is a good way to make connections with other people working in the industry that you're interested in working in? #Spring24
How do you balance doing a career from college with a biology or business degree with your passion of wanting to do trades. Some summers I am doing an internship at a company but I also want to focus on trades like working on cars and concrete/laborer because it’s fun. Does anyone else have the same predicament?? #Spring24
I am currently double majoring in Business Administration and Communication Studies, and will be interning at a company for a design/marketing position. I always have the thought in the back of my mind to work in trades but feel like I should focus on my business degree. Has anyone ever done both a blue collar and white collar career? If so, can I do both? #Spring24
What careers would allow me to create something that will change the world?
I'm interested in math and science, but love writing and traveling. I don't like jobs that are not hands-on, or that are lifeless - in other words, jobs like mechanical engineering or computer science which don't deal with life. I want to get out of "the matrix", but I can't for the life of me find or decide on a career where I can pretty much be guaranteed to create something that will change the world while eliminating the poor prospect of sitting on a computer all day.
What are some good ways to establish a healthy relationship with your manager/supervisor? #Spring24
I am working right now and am about to start an internship in the summer. I feel I struggle with maintaining a healthy relationship with my supervisors, either by being extra agreeable, to the point where its hard for me to start up for myself, or by being closed off and not being seen as approachable. I am trying to find a balance between these two extremes where my relationships with my supervisors are mutually beneficial and not toxic for either of us.
