How can I work in Cybersecurity for the government or military, and is it better than working for a private company?
I'm a currently a senior in highschool, I have taken AP Networking and I am currently taking AP Cybersecurity. I learned, through the recruitment officers that came to my school, that all the major branches of military have a cybersecurity program, and I am interested in learning what training or qualifications I'd need to join. I'd also like to know if I would be better off working for a private company instead of the military or government.

Lost in embedded systems, how to get back on track?
Hi, For fall 2025, I'm going to take Embedded Systems 2 which covers more embedded systems and stuff using the Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad - EK-TM4C123GX. The problem is I don't even know what's happening anymore. I have no idea how I passed Embedded Systems 1, let alone Intro to Embedded Systems (which is basically Embedded Systems 0)... Every time I'm in class, I hate everything and wished I could switch my major to applied mathematics or something (it's too late to change now). I legitimately have no idea what's happening anymore and it's worse that there's an embedded systems 3 class afterwards. I'm, admittedly, a little worried I won't be able to graduate because I kind of need to do a senior project that involves embedded systems (I could do a thesis but I don't know what to research). All in all, both sound god awful. Does anyone have any good resources I could use? Or should I just keep guessing on the exams and just help with the writing parts of the projects... because I'm so lost... could not explain anything to anyone--I'm only good for moral support, that's how useless I am in the labs. I fear I lost the plot. Help.
What programming language is the best and easiest to learn?
I’m a rising sophomore in high school, and am now starting to realize how important being able to code is, especially if I want to land internships and research positions. So, I’m planning to learn over the next few months, but I wanted to know what programming language would be the best to learn. I am not planning to pursue computer science in any means, but I do want to have some basic knowledge so I can put it on my resume. Mostly, I am aiming to land internships in biology and chemistry as I want to go into pre-med.
What are some research opportunities in STEM that provide hands-on experience and knowledge in that field or internships?

What can I do for new life in Houston texas?
I recently moved to Houston, Texas, and I am looking for a job. I applied to many places, such as IKEA, Walmart, Target, Macy's, and other stores, but I was not approved. My major is computer engineering and I studied in Iran. I am a hardworking, creative, and creative girl, and I have other skills, and I learn everything very quickly. I have experience in network plus, website design, digital marketing, robotics, and many computer fields, and even fine arts, Photoshop, and photography in Iran. But in America, with this work experience, I was not given a specialized job. I understand that a degree from America is necessary. I also worked at Amazon in the warehouse. Also, since I recently came to Texas, I need guidance for work and life. I also need academic counseling because I would like to study paramedical and dentistry in Texas. I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas or can give me some guidance, please message me because I really need work and progress.
Feeling lost! Can I build a remote tech/AI career without experience?
Hi everyone, I’m going through a really difficult period in my life and would be incredibly grateful for some honest advice. I am 34 years old and I recently moved to Japan (Fukuoka), and I’m struggling to find a viable career path. I don’t speak Japanese yet (I’ve started studying it), and I’ve been applying for English or Italian teaching jobs (I'm Italian) just to keep things moving but that’s not my real passion. My background is in commercial HVAC pipefitting, with over 10 years of experience on large construction sites across Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, without Japanese language skills, it’s nearly impossible to continue in that field here in Japan. In the past 5-6 months I started studying cybersecurity, using platforms like Coursera and TryHackMe (earning two certificates: Google IT Support and Google Cybersecurity). I was really motivated, but just recently I started to feel discouraged, without hands-on experience or industry connections, it felt like I wouldn’t be able to break into the field. I paused my studies because I was afraid I was wasting time, but deep down I still want to continue. I’ve always been passionate about IT. I’ve had a strong interest in this world for as long as I can remember, and recently I’ve become more and more fascinated by how AI is changing the way we work and solve problems. I love exploring tools and workflows that help automate tasks, improve productivity, and create new opportunities for people like me, without a formal background in the industry. I’m also interested in the creative side of AI, such as image generation (which I occasionally share on socials), but my main goal is to find ways to use AI and IT tools to build a remote career, even starting small. That’s why I’m reaching out here. I’d really appreciate any honest, practical advice on: Is it truly possible to start a remote career in IT, without prior experience or a degree? What learning paths, certifications, or tools are actually worth focusing on? How can someone like me start from scratch and build a sustainable future in IT while managing day-to-day survival? Are there beginner-friendly roles where curiosity, consistency, and self-teaching are enough to open doors? Thank you so much for reading. I’m feeling lost, but still hopeful. Even a bit of direction or encouragement would mean a lot to me right now.
What is a good secondary major for technical theatre?
I am about to be a senior in high school and I want to major in technical theatre/maybe stage management, but I’m very nervous about the lack of job stability/lower pay. I want to do a double major in something related to technical theatre (i want to specialize in sound and set/props) so that i have something to fall back on should it not work out and something i can do on the side to earn extra money to cover expenses. does anybody have recommendations for another major related to this?
What do you think about AI-powered solutions ?
What I mean by that is like prompting AI to create solutions using the design methodology + references. It seems that I realized I have thought of the same thing but AI got it covered even better + feasible. I feel guilty taking the ideas especially for hackathons or projects.
I had marketing internships but now i am scared to do tech ones. Any advice?
I am an IT senior but my resume is more business-centered focus since I am not a technical type of person. I hate coding but lately, I want to dive into non-tech roles with minimal coding or like other branches of IT but I chickened out. Some of the requirements like python code development. I do not have that skillset. Should I still apply and learn from the internship? or should I beefed up my resume first? Some roles I am interested in: business analyst, project management, product development or ui/ux design.
How can I get into an UI UX internship?

If my strengths are patience and fast learning and my hobbies are coding and drawing, what types of careers or industries might best fit me?
I am a freshman in high school and I have interests in art/tech based careers.
I'm confused, as a running start student completing their AA in Arts but wanting to be a Software Engineer, and now noticing that there is an AA for CS, I don't know what is the best plan for me?
Hello, my name is Daniel, I do running start as a junior and am completing my AA arts this upcoming year. I want to be a Software Engineer in my future but now I'm worried if I'm perusing the right degree, there is a CS-AA in the college I attend and a friend of mine is trying to persue it, so that when she finishes it, she can get a beginner job (like analyst) and going into internships - which does not seem like a bad plan to me. I'm doing my AA in arts degree and almost done but if I want to get into CS-AA then I might not have enough time to be able to complete it before I graduate high school. I contacted the University of Washington which is mainly where I want to go, the admission office said that my AA is good and to just focus on advancing in my core classes (English, science, math) and that CS-AA does not really give me an advantage. Can anyone help me on what my best options are now? Thank you a lot.
