How to find what interests me ?
I am a high school student interested in engineering and maths, but I am confused about which college major to choose. I keep joining different courses, but I still cannot find my real interest, and college applications are coming up soon. I feel stressed and unsure about what to pursue in the future. How can I choose the right engineering or math-related major, and what should I consider when making this decision?
what kind of portfolio projects?
Hi! I've already picked up basic skills in Python, HTML/CSS, and Figma. Looking ahead to college, I'm torn between majoring in Computer Science or Interactive Media/UI-UX Design because I want a career that combines coding with creative visual design. Could you recommend specific college majors or interdisciplinary career paths (like slope) that bridge these two areas? Also, what kind of portfolio projects should I focus on building this year to prepare?
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.

What did you do to discern what career to pursue?
I’m a high school senior, and I’m currently undecided on what major to pursue in college. I’ve always loved playing guitar and singing, but I’m unsure if this will be a secure career for me if I’d also like to attend college. So I’ve looked to engineering, even though the most engineering I’ve done was during middle school. I’ve looked into sound engineering and also I’ve gotten curious about biomedical engineering, because I think it’d be cool to program robots or design new tech in the medical field. I just want to have a stable career after college, so I want to make sure I choose a major that I’ll love but will also grant me financial security.

Anyone who does career counseling ?
I am trying to figure out what I want to study in either for trade school or college. I currently am unemployed and 17. I need a job now as well that pays well and long term but I am not sure if I should do a program or internship at PCC instead because the job market is really bad right now.

What path should I take after School?
I'm confused between these 2. As BBA is already flooded by job seekers and B.Com most probably will be very tough for me. As a student of Commerce for which degree should I go for? You can also advice me something other than these two. Not to mention, I did not took Mathematics in 11th and 12th so, the door of B.Honours are clossed. And if you are a professional, it will be great and I will be very thankful to you if you let me know how your daily life looks like in the profession and what tasks you've to do.

I'm Shiloh, a 7th grader who hopes to pursue a career in aerospace and eventually become an astronaut. Currently I'm building my portfolio to get a scholarship that can boost my career. Students are often encouraged to build strong networks, but it can be difficult to understand the real impact, in aerospace or any related fields, how much do professional relationships influence career opportunities, and in what ways?

How can we build a stable life, when work forces us to constantly move?
I honestly wonder: how do many people build lasting relationships, make long-term plans, move in together, start a family, have children, and maintain a strong social network when the job market and career opportunities often require moving from one city to another every few years? I have the impression that the only people who manage to build a stable life are those who start from a more solid position: a family fortune, an inheritance, a stable financial situation, or a well-paid job. Those who don't have these conditions find themselves chasing precarious job opportunities, constantly moving from one city to another in search of stability (of a life) that always seems postponed. Every move requires rebuilding part of one's life from scratch: new friendships, new social circles, new points of reference. It's a process that, in the long run, can become exhausting. (And for those who have been there, they know that sometimes, or rather, most of the time, they also have to rebuild their relationship with their partner.) On the one hand, there's professional ambition, the desire to grow and improve one's position at work. On the other, there's the need to stay in a place where bonds, friendships, and a sense of belonging have been built. These two needs often seem to conflict. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I struggle to understand how the two can be reconciled without completely sacrificing one of the two, unless we start from particularly favorable conditions.

What jobs can I get with a bachelors in Criminology?
