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?
What is the best course of action, doing straight into getting my nurse practitioner license after getting my RN or working 1-2 years as an RN then getting my NP lisence??
I have been a certified medical assistant for 26 years, for primary care and urgent care. I have recently gone back to college to get my RN. I want to get my NP after my RN. I am wondering if I should just continue right after completing my RN to get my NP, or if I should work as an RN for a year or so, then get my NP? I feel I have a lot of experience and knowledge that I could go straight through; however, I am just wondering what the consensus would be for this. #Spring26

As a high school student from Bangladesh, how do I know what is the right major for me when I've barely been exposed to any?
I'm a 10th grader, highly interested in Computer Science and technology. I was interested in creating sustainable and environment friendly tech. But, I can't seem to figure out if it's the right choice for me, especially in the current world where automation is threatening to replace many jobs related to this major. And looking at my other academic interests, which mostly includes STEM(minus medicine), I'm having a hard time understanding what I should choose. Engineering? But what type of engineering? Biology? Both my parents graduated from biology background so it has always fascinated but then again, what exactly? My parents do jobs that are totally different from their field of study now, so I've never really known what it's like to be STEM major or a STEM professional. I thought CS was it for me, but dreams aren't enough. As someone with a middle class background, I have to take into consideration scope, jobs, and pay too.

Should I pursue a career in finance or graphic design?
I like finance and graphic design equally. Finance can be a little be challenging and need a lot of math classes in order to get that degree. For graphic design, i thought it might be easier since it’s creative performance and stuff. Finance positions does pay a lot more than graphic designer. But I’m not sure if I will like finance in the future, because it can also be a very boring job of just processing numbers and stuff. Additionally, do you know what college that is suitable for graphic design and what college for finance major in areas in or near New York City (Includes Long Island)? Maybe even a college within those areas that have both majors.
