Electrical vs. Industrial Engineering
I’m a high school student trying to choose between Electrical Engineering and Industrial Engineering, and I’m considering universities in both Europe and the United States. I want to be honest: I’m not currently passionate about Electrical Engineering specifically. A major reason I’m considering it is the career opportunities and earning potential, and I’m willing to work very hard to become good at it. I’m currently doing AS-Level Math and Physics, but I would describe myself as an average student in math/science rather than naturally gifted. Industrial Engineering is actually the engineering field I’m most interested in because I like the combination of engineering, business, economics, optimization, and problem-solving. However, I’m worried about the job market and earning potential for Industrial Engineers, especially in Europe and the US. For someone with my background: 1. How difficult is Electrical Engineering actually at university? 2. Can an average math/science student realistically succeed in EE with enough studying, tutoring, and persistence? 3. What are the main career paths and earning potential for Electrical vs. Industrial Engineering in Europe and the US? 4. Is choosing EE mainly for its stronger job market and salary potential a reasonable decision if I don’t currently have a strong interest in electricity/electronics? 5. If you were in my position, would you choose the field you find more interesting (Industrial Engineering) or the one with potentially stronger technical career opportunities (Electrical Engineering)? 6. What do you wish you had known before choosing your engineering major? I’d especially appreciate answers from people who have actually studied or worked in Electrical or Industrial Engineering.

I want to become a software engineer but I'm not certain about a subject I chose. What do I do?
I want to study software engineering and I'm not sure about my subjects. So basically at my school we have 4 streams and you can only chose 1 subject in each. I chose pure mathematics, physical sciences, tourism and business (my school does not offer CS, IT or CAT). The problem is that some people are advicing me to not chose tourism and to instead do either accounting or life sciences (other subjects in the stream). I don't want to do either since tourism is the easiest in the stream I want to make sure I have a high APS score. What should I do?

recommendation letters?
Hello! I have a question and would really appreciate your advice. I need recommendation letters for some programs, but in my country they aren't very common, so it's difficult to find teachers who have experience writing them. Would it be acceptable if I explained my academic record and achievements to a teacher, provided evidence and supporting documents, and then asked them to evaluate whether I deserve a recommendation letter based on that information? If anyone has experience with this or has been in a similar situation, I would be very grateful for your advice. Thank you!

How should I approach launching my first SaaS product as a software engineer?
Hello everyone, I'm a software engineer currently working on building my first SaaS product. My goal is to launch it successfully and eventually turn it into a sustainable business. I would love to learn from professionals who have experience building or launching SaaS products. Here are a few questions I would appreciate your advice on: * What steps should I follow before launching my SaaS product? * How do I validate whether people actually need the product before investing more time and money? * What are the biggest mistakes first-time SaaS founders usually make? * How should I plan pricing, user acquisition, and marketing for the initial launch? * If you were launching your first SaaS today, what would you do differently?

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.
