What is my best path into law school?
I met with a pre law advisor today, and it’s made me rethink everything. To start, he let me know that political science won’t prepare me for the lsat or law school so I should ideally major in something I enjoy or can fall back on. I’m interested in corporate law so I’m thinking something business/ finance related, but what are some good majors that aren’t necessarily just “business” or “finance”? He did say that a legal studies minor is what will actually prepare me for the lsat and law school, so I’m gearing towards that. I was also interested in philosophy because I’ve heard they tend to do better on the lsat , but he let me know that’s actually often not too true/significant. To add, I’m also interested in psychology / sociology and think they would be a good compliment for my law career. I guess what I’m asking is: what all of this is true and where should I pivot regarding majors and minors? (I’m open to doubling in either as well) Secondly, I’m a first year but I came in with high school credits classifying me as a sophomore, so with my current full time load I’m on track to graduate in the next 3 years. My resume needs a lot of work and filling up, and I’m not sure I’m gonna have enough time to properly study for the lsat, get internships, and join/lead organizations while still having to work. Should I lighten my course load and graduate in the typical 4 years to pad my resume, or continue on my full time course path? Thirdly, I’ve been cold emailing firms and trying to secure an internship for this summer but I’ve had no luck this far. Any tips or methods for internships? He also gave me an insight to what law school will actually be like regarding the course load, exams, and the frequent grillings I’ll get . I mean I knew law school was gonna be hard, but I wasn’t expecting 3 years of pure hell. The meeting really brought me back to reality and made me question if I’m cut out for law school and everything I thought I knew about how to get there. I would really just like to know if a political science degree is worth it and will be beneficial to me and any advice on my path into law school.
Answering “Why did you leave” honestly?
I find this a very instrusive question given that i find that it's not really other people's business to know why and how I left my previous company. How should candidates answer the interview question “Why did you leave your previous role?” when the reason involves negative experiences such as poor culture, burnout, or misalignment? How do you stay honest without sounding defensive or unprofessional? Should I be alerted when organisations ask me this question during the interview? How much do I divulge?

What jobs should I look into based on my interests?
Hi all. I've thought I wanted to be a dermatologist for a while now but I'm having doubts in my capability to do so. I am very passionate for Motorsports like formula one, and would totally work in that realm if I had the chance. I would also totally work corporate. I am in high school still but I'm super stressed over what I'm to do with my life and have no idea what to major in. The only thing is I'd prefer to have a very comfortable salary, but find it difficult to find job ideas. I also find myself very drawn to creative or artsy jobs, but hate the pay. Any help or career options?? I will take all the advice I can get... seriously.

What is a good path for a human resources career?
Hi! I am Abby, and I don't actually know what I'm going to do with my life. It's a little intimidating and scary as a high school senior. I have done some research on what I am interested in, and declared my major at most prospective schools as psychology. I genuinely like it and I feel like it opens doors to different future careers. However, it is not something I can see myself doing forever, and most psychology majors have to pursue a post-BA education to have a shot at a job. While I am interested in psych, I think a career like HR or another corporate path would work and to keep the door open, I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on how to get started, or what paths people took. My main questions are: - How will it take to exit the "entry level" tier in HR? - How well paying is it? Or, how long did it take to get to a well paying position? This is not something that's extremely high on my list of factors, but I do think it matters quite a bit. - How large is the potential for growth (promotions, bonuses, etc)? - How hard is it to find a job? - Will a psychology major be looked down upon in the hiring sense? I have heard from other sources that this may be an occurrence for psych majors looking to go corporate. - Any other career advice or other potential paths? Thank you so much for your time, and any advice is appreciated! #psychology #college #college-major #career #major #corporate #humanresources #psychologymajor #business #chro #management
B.A. in Psychology + Associates in Business Management
Hi! Currently, I am obtaining an Associates's degree in Business Management from my community college before transferring into a university for a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology. I see that in the United States, people are especially discouraging of Psychology undergraduates in a business field. A lot of people would say to switch for a Bachelors in Business instead and get an Associates's in Psychology, which I do not plan on doing because I love my current placements. I have heard and read from many people that Psychology majors are deemed useful only within clinical and social works. If I were to take the path in those aspects, I am mainly interested in becoming a college academic advisor/counselor. However, I have put it in my best interest and am very determined to find myself a career in the business field after I graduate. I want to ask what is the REALITY of someone with a BA in Psychology and Associates in Business Management to be offered great positions in the business fields. What are some jobs and careers can I be qualified for with these degrees? What is something you would recommend me to do in order to gain experience or expose me to the works of psychology and business as an undergrad? Please give me any additional advice or information you think would be helpful too! I really appreciate and thank you for your responses! :-) #career #business #humanresources #human-resources #marketing #businessmarketing #business-marketing #psychology #businessadministration #business-administration #corporate #businessmanagement #business-management #counselor #academic-counselor #academiccounselor #univeristy #communitycollege #community-college #universityofcalifornia #university-of-california #psychmajor #psychologymajor #psych-major #psychology-major #company #california #unitedstates #uited-states
How do companies view military service?
When hiring, do companies view military service as a good or bad thing? If it it a good thing, what branch looks best? Marines, Army, Army National Guard, Air Force, Air National Guard, Navy, Coast Guard? And does it look better to have been an enlisted or officer? (I'm guessing the best combination is Air Force Officer) #military #any #army #pilot #navy #coast-guard #aviation #marine #marines #college #career #major #technology #hiring #future #company #corporate
