I need help to the right career. ?
My most liked subjects are computer science and biology but now I am choosing one subject as my field. I should choose computer science but I want guidance.
Why did you choose Psychology? How was the process like?
I am a Junior at Baruch College, pursuing a BA in Psychology. I chose to major in this field because I love helping people and I'm passionate about supporting others who deal with mental health problems. However, I have many interests, having previously majored in CIS, being very strong at mathematics, and I absolutely love sports. I would like to hear from anyone who has dealt with uncertainty, how did you definitively determine that psychology is what you wanted to do, and what were your subsequent steps? If you never faced uncertainty when choosing psychology as your field of study, why do you believe this to be the case?
Is being a Graphic Designer a good job for me?
I asked what some good colleges are earlier, but I just thought, is being a graphic designer a good fit for me? I have ADHD and atisum, and I love art I've always hated math, and I'm a good problem solver but I have a hard time doing somthing I say I'm ging to do not like I lie but like "I'm going to get this done before the end of this period!" 2 days later "I'm half way there!" I just can't stay focused! And I do know what college I'd go to if I were to become a graphic designer, but I also want to be a teacher!
How can I determine what is the best kind of Engineering for me?
I know I have to go to college and get a Bachelor's degree and obtain my PE license, but I'm just not sure entirely of which specific Engineering degree I really want to pursue. I am stuck between a few kinds such as Civil, Electrical, Architectural, and Constructional. I love to work outside and to use my hands and to think.
How do I know if this is the right path for me?
I’ve often been unsure of what I wanted to pursue, with switching around career prep pathways in high school, and often jumped from career to career about what I wanted to do. For a while recently, I’ve looked into going into the legal profession. I found myself interested in reading since childhood, and writing. My strengths and interests tend to lean towards advanced English and Social Science classes, than STEM related courses, which I struggled in. I find myself as well engrossed in political topics. I may intend on majoring in Political Science with a minor in Literature or Journalism, on a pre-law track, but am not definitely certain yet.

Do law schools prefer you to major in something law related?
I have read that law schools prefer students to have a degree in something that isn’t law related but I want to confirm the accuracy of this. I have chosen to pursue a degree in Computer and Information Sciences. I am interested in learning about this and think I will be able to maintain my high gpa. I originally wanted to go to school for law a little over 17 years ago but I got pregnant and had my first son when I was 17. At that age the amount of time it would take to become a lawyer seemed so long that I thought i couldn’t possibly stay on that path and provide for my son. Now that him and his brother are older I am ready to go back to school and have came to the realization that 7 years goes by so fast that if I blink I miss too much of it. I really just want to make the best informed decision to help my chances of getting into law school when that time comes

How do I find the field of law I want to practice ?
Hey, whoever can please guide me? I am a psychology major on a prelaw track. I want to pursue law and go to law school, but I have been seeing people who say law school is not worth it and being a lawyer is not worth it, money-wise and emotionally ( miserable). I have been told that people often recommend pursuing a career in nursing and becoming a Psychiatric nurse, or studying more neuroscience. I am in distress and no longer know what I want to do. I feel very overwhelmed because I love the law, and I have been interested in law programs since 8th grade, when I declared my intention to be a lawyer. However, now I feel questioned and tested. I want a job that I am passionate about and one that I will be mentally okay with. ALSO MONEY WISE with debts. What type of law field should I lean towards if I follow my dreams?
