How do I find mini projects or academic projects?
I am doing my MBA in Infrastructure Management, and I want some experience along with my studies, so I think working on projects will be more sensible. However, I cannot find any projects to work on.

If any of you have any suggestions to offer to work on with me, I am open to them, too.
If I'm attending a university through an online program and I'm interested in working in higher education (i.e. in the admissions office), how do I get relevant work experience?
I'm currently attending Southern New Hampshire University online, and I've realized that college or university campuses are the right environment for me; I'm unsure how to get the right kind of experience, as working for a different university or college seems contradictory (and most of the job postings require 1-2 years' experience anyway). EDIT: Here is some additional context. I am 29, and going back to school, currently pursuing a BS of Computer Science; I have a year's work experience in the tech industry, and am considering the shift due to the last half decade's trajectory for the industry. I am not currently in a position to attend university in person.

How should I spend my summer- gaining relevant experience, or gaining money to pay for college?
Hey everyone! Aspiring exotic animal veterinarian here, I'm trying to decide how to use my summer. Last summer and throughout this current school year, I've interned at a vet clinic unpaid. I've just gotten my CVA Level 1 Certification, too. Here are my two decisions- Option 1) Apply to work a paid job at the clinic I've been interning at. I'm comfortable there and pretty sure they would hire me on the spot; however, their pay for the position I would work (vet assistant) is less than nearby restaurants/retail stores, which I find crazy. On the other hand, I would be getting great experience, key to getting into vet school later on (especially since they are the only exotic animal inclusive clinic within an hour's radius of my house). But I would be sacrificing earning good money to help pay for college the next year. Option 2) Work somewhere else, with a more decent pay. I would be saving up for college better, so this would be the more financially wise option. However, I would be missing out on getting good experience having a job at an exotic veterinary clinic, especially one where people already know me and are comfortable with me, since I've interned there for about a year now. Essentially, my dilemma is this: do I go for 1) gaining important experience for vet school or 2) getting better pay to help me afford college? Thanks for any feedback or tips!!!
How can I build my professional acting portfolio while being active in college, what will professional companies most look for ?
I'm a seventeen year old in high school, and am going to college for theatre. More specifically live theatre. I've had experience in competitive and community plays in the past and have enjoyed both experiences thoroughly. However, I've never experienced theatre on a professional level, as there haven't been any opportunities available to me.
