Do companies view some military branches as better than others?

Who are you most likely to hire?

How will colleges view my academic profile?

So I accepted the apprenticeship for the rail company. But the problem is that it's every other day. (My school is set up as an A/B day with different classes on either day. So I go to the apprenticeship one day, and go to school the other.) So I can't take all the classes I want to. It looks like a great opportunity to get my foot into the door for the engineering industry, and it pays $10/hour for my first year, $11.50/hour my second year, and $13/hour my third year. I get an associates out of it and a guaranteed job after it. It's the first apprenticeship in the state, so I'd be one of the very few (12 or so) pioneers. But I will also have to quit my job that pays $9.00, and the people there are really fun. I can't take any AP classes during school, and I'll have to take online classes after school to catch up on credits. I'm just curious how colleges and employers will view it. I'm also doing cross country. So will it look better if I do an apprenticeship (It might be fun and has good training, but I honestly probably won't complete the three years)? Or, will a strong academic record with athletics and an after school job look better? #college #engineering #career #computer-science #medicine #science #technology #engineer #tech #college-major #education #biology #any #math #acting #mechanical-engineering #mechanical #english #aviation #military #chemistry #robotics #physics #airline-industry #biomedical-engineering #information-technology #writing #high-school #aerospace-engineering #pilot #aeronautics #ap #navy #author #marine #army #band #community-management #air-force #schedule #marines #armed-forces #hashtag #pathway #airline #career-pathway #fighter-pilot #raptor #civil-air-patrol #first-responder #business #fun #apprentice

As a young writer trying to practice my trade, what are some things I can break into that allow me to make some money alongside being able to write? I've comtemplated ghost writing on sites such as Fiver, or transcription. I'm realistic and I'm not looking to quit my day job, just looking for some outlets that might also benefit me financially.

What’s the best career option for me?

I’m going to get a degree in English. I’ve had a passion for writing for as long as I can remember. Ideally, I’d like to find a nice writing job that’d be perfect for a very shy, quiet introvert like myself—in other words, a writing job with minimal interaction with others. I understand if this is too much to ask for, but it’s a dream of mine to find a job as perfect as what I just described. #english

Best Military College Option?

I want to become an officer in the military. I don't want to enlist. ROTC only pays the last two years of my college. That being said, what's my best option? 1.) Attend college then go to OCS: (Would attend college with my friends out of state, but the college is more expensive) 2.) Attend ROTC in college: (Attend in-state=super cheap, plus I might get a band scholarship) 3.) Military Academy: (Completely free, but hard to get into) 4.) The Citadel- Corps of Cadets (ROTC): (They're interested in me, but they're expensive) #college #military #finance #money-management #money-management #navy #high-school #college #engineering #air-force #military #engineer #marines #any #career #navy #fighter-pilot #marine #armed-forces #aviation #army #technology #physics #pilot #math #tech #biology #science #hashtag #airline #raptor #airline-industry #aerospace-engineering #mechanical #aeronautics #computer-science #chemistry #robotics #college-major #schedule #mechanical-engineering #band #biomedical-engineering #career-pathway #information-technology #pathway #medicine #english #ap #writing #acting #education #community-management #first-responder #author #civil-air-patrol #college-admissions #rotc #jrotc #state #university

Are ACT Prep Classes really that helpful?

I need an ACT score of at least 30 to get into a military academy. From my PSAT score, I'll probably get a 28. Will an ACT Prep class actually raise my score by two points or more?

Debate vs AP Literature and Composition

In my school instead of a Language Arts Class, you can take Debate. Would it be better to be on Debate and the Debate team, or should I stick with a hard class like APLAC? I also have the option of taking college English or Business Communications. What's the option for college applications?

Ok so, I’m panicking about majors and I’m not sure what to do. I love writing and graphic design. I’ve got a talent for English and such. But I also wanted to pursue graphic design and other arts. I’ve heard about double majors and majoring and minoring. I have a bit of an understanding but all the examples I’ve heard didn’t really pertain to my struggles so I find it hard to understand. If I were to get a major in English and a minor in graphic design or another art. Could I pursue a career in art? If I were to find something there would someone even care about a minor in art?

What are good majors to pair with English Literature for a double major?

I'm really wanting to go into English Literature during college, but I think perhaps it would be wise to get a double major, for practicality and broader scope of career, but I'm not sure which major would be best to go into to supplement/compliment my Literature degree. #english #double-major #majors #college-major

How can I know if becoming an editor is right for me?

As a kid, I always wanted to become an author. Now that I'm older, I'm more interested in editing at a publishing company. When friends have given me their writing to look over, I enjoy cleaning up the grammar as well as improving the flow and phrasing. However, since this has been my dream for a few years now, I'm worried I may have overlooked other interests I could enjoy more. How can I tell if editing is the career for me? #career #editor #publishing #writing #english

What's a good major to pursue if you have an AA degree in Health Sciences General Studies and you enjoy subjects involving English/Writing?

By 18, if I work hard enough, I should have an AA degree in Health Sciences General Studies, though now I'm wondering if I still want to pursue a career focused entirely on health. I've always struggled with math, which as I've found is quite involved in this field, making me reconsider my decision to pursue a health-focused career. Now, I'm focusing on my interests in writing, English, debating, and things of that nature. I'm now wondering if there is a major that could lead to a career involving both my health skills and my current interests. #general #health #professionals #english #writing #creativewriting #linguistics #journalism #debating #communications #opentoideas #career #healthcareer #liberalarts #professors

School Supplies

So I will be starting college this next semester however I will be taking all my classes online this year, so I want to make sure I’m taking really good notes to pass my finals. What kind of notebooks would you recommend for classes like English 101-102, Biology 223, etc. (Don’t remember all of the classes I’m taking this semester, I’m taking bio next semester actually but I’m just curious). I know the syllabus should tell me but since I’m doing my classes online I’m not so sure. #general #notetaking #schoolsupplies #english #biology #incomingcollegestudent
