What opportunities should I look for in college to help me stand out in a future career in either zoology or marine biology?
I am currently a high school senior. My goal is to study marine biology or zoology in college so that I can get a career working with animals.

What degree shall I pursue that will allow me a career in aviation possible piloting? Should I apply for mechanical engineering or other options available? Please let me know what your opinion would be. I really like to build things, but I also wanna fly.

How do I know that the job I want is what I truly want to do with my life?
I am going into 9th grade next year and I am wanting to be an FBI Special Agent and then go into being an Intelligence Analyst. I have considered many jobs like marine biologist, pharmacologist, epidemiologist, veterinary epidemiologist, marine mammal veterinarian, and now I have found this. How do I know that this is what I truly want to do? I would rather not know what I am going to do rather than make the wrong choice. I love math, science, and problem solving(especially things that require logic. Out of those my favorites are math and problem solving. I have to have variety; I can't have an office job or a job where I work in a lab all day. I just need more ideas to research to really narrow down what I want to do.
What does a "typical" day look like for an FBI Special Agent?

How do I start a career without going back to college?
One where I can wear a skirt/dress and wear my hair covered. I do not wear pants of any kind and I don't wear jeans. It would be great if I didn't work with money or food. Working with and around food makes me sick. I tried it twice and it didn't work out both times. I get too nervous when it comes to handling money and I just end up messing things up. I tried and I just can't get over my nerves.
How do I know which of the two jobs I am considering is the best for me and my preferences?
I am going into 9th grade next year and I am stuck between being and FBI Special Agent because I love problem solving and physical activity or being a marine mammal field veterinarian because I love dolphins, otters, pinnipeds, and all other marine animals. I don't know how to determine which one I would have more satisfaction in.

What career choice is really best for me if I graduate with an Accounting degree?
I'm going to Michigan College as a freshman in Spring 2026. I'm going for accounting but don't know what career I want specifically. I love math so I chose accounting because I saw it fits me. Everyone says the same thing to me but never explains why. When I look up the jobs they describe almost the same thing. If they're so similar which is the best for me? I love figuring out problems related to math and double checking them. I'm great at time management and very organized.

Piano Professor + Opera Singer?
Is it possible for me to be a piano professor with all the duties that come with that career (teaching, planning, office hours, performing, doing other side-gig type things, etc.) and also have a serious, yet part-time opera career? I know having a role in an opera requires you to be available for 3-6 weeks of rehearsals during the day, so how could I make that work while also teaching at a college? Is it even possible?
What should I do for college and work when I really want to be an entrepreneur but don’t know where to start?
I really want to run my own business or create an app, but people keep telling me not to jump right into starting a business. They say I should get some experience first and work a regular job before trying that. I kinda agree, but the jobs people suggest don’t really interest me. For example, my sister said she would help me with money if I went to college for nursing, but I don’t want to be a nurse. My dad talks about engineering a lot, but I never thought about that for myself, and I don’t think I would like it. I’m just not sure what I should do for college or work right now, and I need help figuring it out.
My class is exploring Careers on virtual Reality, I’m trying to figure out what career a should choose, any ideas?
I am a 7th grade Middle school student in Yuma Arizona. I have many suggestions but I don’t know currently which one is the best. Ever since I was in second grade I was interested in science and astronomy and I wanted to be an astronomer, but now I’m getting thinking maybe I should pursue my other interest such as aerospace engineering. I want to build/ develop the spacecrafts sent on missions. I love the idea of both of them. If you have any suggestions please answer my question and state why. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
What does a remote hiring manager really want to see in a candidate?

What would you do for a living if money wasn't a factor?
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. So much of our career choices are shaped by survival, not passion. We all have that childhood dream to help the needy and now, somehow, most of us are the needy. But if money wasn’t a factor, no pressure, no bills, no expectations. What would we really choose? Would we still do what we do now? Or would we create, teach, build, explore, heal, write, or help in ways we have buried for years? I’m genuinely curious. What would you do for a living if money didn’t matter?
