I am a senior in high school and wonder what jobs can I get in the sports tech world with a mechanical or electrical engineering degree, specifically if I want to work on sports devices, wearables, and performance technology? I am leaning more towards getting a EE degree just because the high demand & pay but I'm still doing my research.

Mechanical Engineering Master's or Master's degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics?
I'm currently a Biomedical Engineering undergrad planning to work in the field of prosthetics. I've heard the BME job market isn't the best right now, so I was planning on doing an accelerated program with my university that would allow me to graduate with my mechanical engineering master's in the same 4 years as my BME bachelor degree. I thought this was a good idea to get more prosthetic knowledge overall and make my resume more competitive. I recently found out that if I want to work with patients and design prosthetics, I would need a specific master's degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics. This degree isn't offered at my university or many universities in general. I would have to spend 2 years pursuing this degree plus a 12-18 month residency. I'm questioning doing this because I don't want to spend the time doing this degree and boxing myself in. If I do the Master's degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics instead of mechanical engineering, I don't think I would have as much room to pivot fields if I decide to. I believe I can still create prosthetics with a BME or mechanical degree, but I just won't get to work directly with patients.
Need help?
I am a high school junior currently suffering from a chaotic time due to career confusion. I want to know a clear path for my future. My majors are maths and chemistry, and Computer science as a minor. I want to get a clear-cut path for my future, as I am running out of time. I need to decide what to do next. I need genuine help from a mentor. Along with that, I need to know about some useful free websites as a teenager to get into top universities
I like both Biology and Maths, but I don't want PCMB burnout. then what subjects should I choose in 11th?
I'm a Class 10 CBSE student deciding between subject combinations for Class 11–12, and I'm torn between two paths. I'm genuinely interested in biology and enjoy understanding how living systems work, and I'm also naturally strong in Mathematics and find it engaging. However, I'm concerned about taking both—most students who choose PCMB report feeling overwhelmed by the pressure, and I want to avoid that suffocation. I'm interested in engineering, but I'm unsure whether I should go with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Maths), PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), or push through with PCMB. Which combination actually supports engineering careers? And what engineering fields can I explore with each option—especially if I take PCB instead of PCM?
Where can I find funding or fellowships to scale a greenhouse prototype in Zimbabwe/Southern Africa?
I've built a greenhouse prototype that has already worked successfully at small scale. My immediate need is capital to move into industrial-scale implementation and testing, including testing with real farmers in the field. Alongside this, I'm also focused on growing and scaling client work for my company, GLUCO, and expanding our overall capacity. My primary focus right now is Zimbabwe and the surrounding Southern Africa region, but I'm open to exploring international funders and networks if there's a strong fit with what we're building. Any programs, fellowships, or expert connections you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! *Note: This is an anonymous question submitted
