College classes vs. AP classes?
Ever since I started high school, I always thought taking actual college classes made more sense. However, I’ve begun to wonder if specific selective colleges will look at them differently regarding college applications. I have taken 20 credits at my state university (UMN) and more at my local CC. My school offers multiple AP classes, but I choose college classes because they allow me diverse options of courses each semester. I will graduate from high school with 80+ college credits. Is it possible that I may be at a disadvantage regarding this choice? Will the college review my application and say they want students with AP classes?

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.

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??

How can I become a teacher and doctor?
Is there a way I can become a teacher but also be a DO(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine)?

I figured a DO would be the best for me because I don't want just to show them how to use medicine I want to show them that they can do other things than just be on medication.

What major should I go for ?
I have always been interested in mathematics and physics. After graduating from 12th grade, I have discovered that I'm really good at mathematics, though I used to get over 95% in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. I know getting a good score isn't everything in a career; there are so many skills that are required to have a top-notch career. Now I am planning to do my major in electrical engineering or software engineering. As I like grinding mathematics more, will it be a wise decision to major in electrical engineering? I really want to do a startup. Will it be a wise decision to major in electrical engineering, having the passion to do the startup and maintaining academics perfectly? One thing I would like to say, I'm going to move to Montreal and planning to do my MBA afterwards.
