How should I determine which area of engineering I want to excel in, does it matter Should I already know where I want to work after college and how can I find jobs/interships right now??

I'm going to college next year and I'm not exactly sure what I want to do in the future, I know I want to be some type of engineer and possibly minor in physics. I'm debating whether or not I need to go to a well known expensive school or settle for a less known but affordable one.

What are some jobs that use math a good amount within the engineering field?

Hello, I like math lots, but programming not so much. I was wondering if there were any jobs within the engineering industry that use math a decent amount. Any ideas are useful… Just not really sure what I want to do with my life. Also some soft/hard skills that would be needed for the job would be a start to see what I need and can work on.

What is the best way to narrow an area of study in cybersecurity ?

I am interested many different fields, with many of them in the computer science industry. I have been exposed to the vast potential that a career in computer science or cybersecurity could have but I have had trouble narrowing down a specific area of interest. I have also been told by some of my teachers and family that I have potential in specific areas so identifying which one is the best for me isn't easy. Some advice on how to narrow down my field of study would be greatly appreciated.

How to know which engineering field will be prevalent in the future?

I’m uncertain about which engineering field to choose as my future career. I enjoy mathematics, physics, and computer science, but after observing the current job market and the rapid rise of AI, I’m confused about which field will remain relevant and not be completely taken over by AI. I want to pursue a field that aligns with my interests while also offering long-term career stability and high pay.

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?

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.

What entry level roles should I look for with an associates in business?

Hello everyone!! I am currently a junior majoring in Business admin with a Concentration in HR. I am supposed to graduate next year, but I am severely burnt out and my mental health is declining.

What's the one thing you would do differently if you could travel back in time to where you started your career / coding journey?

As a self-taught web developer, at some point during my coding journey, I got distracted and switched to a different language just out of curiosity. (switch from JavaScript to Python). Three months later, I realized that Python or Data science isn't really my thing. (I definitely see the beauty and power of Python!) However, I love JavaScript or Front-end web development more than extracting insights from data set. So for me, I would definitely tell myself to FOCUS on one language if I could travel back in time. 1. What about you? 2. What kind of advice would you give yourself if life can rewind and replay? I'm asking this question because it allows me learn valuable lessons / insights from others' story! (If you don't mind sharing!) As always, Thank you for your time in reading this post and sharing your story! I wish you all the best & take care of yourself! #career #business #coding #professional #timeTravel #Focus #programming #webdevelopment #python #javascript #careerguidance #education #Learning #careeradvice #careerchoices #technology
