Should I change my Marketing degree into a General Business Degree?
Hello everyone I am looking for some career guidance I am a senior in my last semester of university. I believe I have lost interest in my marketing degree although I enjoyed learning many topics within my curriculum when I completed my required internship during the last semester of my junior year I found myself bored and unhappy. I was set to complete an internship position within my sophmore year but due to family health issues this did not occur. I tried applying to many other marketing positions but had no luck landing any which made me feel uneasy about the value of my degree and how it would not provide me the stability I was seeking. However, I was trying to stay positive throughout my college years as I thought my marketing major was a good fit for me, but after completing my internship I feel as though it is not for me as I am not being challenged. In addition I now feel that marketing does not give me a sense of fufillment as well. I feel ashamed because I know think I have wasted four years towards something that does not align with me. My question now is that would it be better to change my major to general if I am no longer interested in Marketing? I do not want employers to box me into marketing side of things since I no longer want to work within that space. I am now open to the idea of working within finance and human resources but my university does not offer these majors. There is only a finance minor. I have even thought about just graduating with a general business degree and pursuing an elementary teaching certification as one of the requirments is to have a bachelors degree. Please let me know your thoughts as I am feeling stuck and behind in life.
What major should I choose when I go to college?
Hello, I really love painting and I have some talent for page drawing, but I don't know if I have what it takes to study graphic design. Because recently I discovered that I have signs of hand tremors. I haven't told this to anyone in the family yet. Can I continue to pursue this passion?
Art Teacher / Art Therapist
Hello, I’m a junior about to graduate this September and I am a little lost on exactly how to go about my college / career. Currently, I’ve narrowed down my career choices to either an Art Teacher or an Art Therapist. (With ambitious plans on eventually doing both, not simultaneously of course.) Planning on going to community college for 2 years to get my associates, but after that I would prefer to transfer to a college somewhere northeast-ish (NY, NJ, PA, etc.) for my bachelors & masters. I don’t have a specific question to ask, but any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How can I overcome my fear of math and build the necessary skills for nursing Are there resources or support systems available for students like me who struggle with math?
I've been contemplating a major in nursing, but I'm grappling with the fact that math has always been a struggle for me. Throughout school, I've often felt embarrassed about my difficulties with math, to the point where seeking help became daunting. Despite my best efforts, I haven't grasped math concepts since elementary school. Considering the math requirements for nursing, I can't shake the feeling that my weakness in math might hinder my ability to become a nurse. It's disheartening when others seem to understand what's going on in the classroom, and I feel left behind. I want to address this challenge head-on and not let it define my future. How can I overcome my fear of math and build the necessary skills for nursing? Are there resources or support systems available for students like me who struggle with math? Sharing my story feels vulnerable, but I want to ensure that I can pursue my passion for nursing despite this obstacle.
How do you earn money while being in med school?
I am a senior in hs, and will be pursuing a biology bs/ pre med degree in college and after that want to get into a good med school, but since med school is quite expensive and I will certainly have to take student loans, how do i earn any good money in med school? For most other majors, you can do jobs after your undergraduate degree and get a better job if you get a master’s degree, which is usually completed in a maximum 6 years, but for med school i will be unemployed for a whopping 8 years! How do i earn money in that time to take care of my finances??

What are some ways/tips or what general direction should I take in order to pursue a film career?
