How does one maintain a healthy work/life balance so that the demands of a career or academic goal do not stifle other passions?
I have always had a desire to acquire a deeper understanding of our natural world and its living processes at a molecular level. I am applying to college to pursue Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, with the hope of one day attending graduate school or even taking the Medical sciences route. I know that this will be a challenging endeavor and I am fearful that the workload and long hours will dampen my passion for Science or even stifle other areas of my life that I treasure, like my friendships, sailing and playing hockey. How do professionals maintain that healthy balance so that their studies or jobs do not become their whole identities?

What are some extracurriculars I could do that is stem/medicine based?
I’ve had a lot of ideas on what Extracurriculars I want to do but they just seem too much for me to accomplish as a 16 year old. Some ideas I had was formulating an eco friendly sunscreen using chemistry principals but I would assume you need to have a degree in chemistry. Another idea was creating a skin cancer detecting app, or starting a program by going around to different schools, and/or community centers providing information on skin cancer and hosting events with the help of volunteers from my school. Honestly this all just seems really complicated for me to do especially without a mentor. I plan to start volunteering at a kidney center next month and get a part time job on the weekends. At the moment I am applying to stem/medicine based internships. I need some advice. I am 16 and in 10th grade. I plan to major in chemistry and I aspire to be a dermatologist.

How do you choose your majors and the college you want to attend?
I am a High School Sophomore and my Career Management teacher has us selecting what college we want to attend with our majors. I say that it is best to map out your plan for your major, try to narrow down the colleges, read some reviews, ask people that you know attend(ed) the college, and see what you can get rid of for your colleges.
What major should you NOT go to college for?
Hello! As a college student in the middle of my career, I wanted to submit a question. What majors should students NOT go to college to study for? If you do list any majors: What do you recommend students do (instead) to pursue their career goals? I hope this question could help future students interested in jobs and help them make the most of their time after high school. I feel I went through a lot of indecision and stress over how to use my time after graduation. Let's start the conversation!

Two questions on choosing a career and college/university.
I will graduate from a community college in Spring 2023 with an accounting degree. I plan on working for 2-3 years and then going back to school. I regret that I did not spend more time researching degrees, doing HS internships, or exploring different community colleges while in high school. However, I feel that I made a good choice in choosing accounting for my associates. Before I return to school, I want to take a lot of time researching colleges, careers, job opportunities, etc. before I make my decision. One thing going to college has taught me is to be open, flexible, and to accept the challenges/surprises that life throws at us. I would appreciate answers/advice for these two questions: 1.) How should I go about researching colleges/universities? One article recommended that I research application process, admission rate, accreditation, graduation rate, support services, scholarships, degree programs offered, program availability, and student life. Other factors that are important to me are networking and internship opportunities. I personally would like to attend a public college/university in Kansas, one that was preferably close to my family. However, I am open to attending a non-public college/university. I am also open to attending online school. Is there anything else that I should research, or other factors that I should consider when researching colleges/universities? 2.) How should I go about researching careers? As I mentioned above, I have a wide variety of interests. How should I go about narrowing it down? Are there ways for me to have a first-hand experience of the day-to-day life of different professionals? I don't really want to relocate for my career, so how I can research in-demand careers in my local area? I apologize about the length of this question. I hope I remembered everything! I appreciate any comments or advice that you can offer! Thanks in advance!!
Would having transferrable credits from a community college be useful if I'm on the fence about going to a 4 year college?
I heard about college credits from community colleges that people can transfer over to a 4 year college to save money in the long run. I'm not really sure if I want to attend a 4 year college but would it be good to have transferrable credits just in case I make the decision to attend a 4 year college?
