(Provide a name of the company and a description) 2.) Number of years working in this career? 3.)What exactly is your career? What do you do? (Provide your position/title and a brief description of your responsibilities) 4.)What do you like most about your job? 5.)What do you like least about your job? 6.) How did you become interested in this career? 7.) What education and training are necessary for this job? 8.) What is most challenging about the job? 9.) What types of personality traits or skills are most helpful in this career? Why? 10.) What are some of the benefits and “perks” of this job? 11.) Approximately how many hours a week do you work? 12.) What is the approximate salary range for this job? 13.) Would you recommend this job? Why or why not? #computer-software #business #engineering #medicine #science #design #architecture #aerospace #financial-planning #career-details #personal-development

How necessary is it for Mechanical Engineers to get a Masters Degree in order to make a higher paying salary?

I want to make lots of money doing something I love. But I'm questioning the affordability of it with tuition costs SO high. I hate the thought of getting into that much debt, but will it pay off in the long run? Just trying to plan ahead. #engineering #mechanical-engineering #financial-planning

What is the best educational and cost efficient route for nursing?

I've been told to start out with my associates and get my RN, and then later explore an RN to BSN program. But I've also been told going to school for the two years to get my RN instead of getting my BSN right away would be a foolish mistake, and I would never find a job. What route should I take to give myself the best opportunities and sae the most money? #nursing #college-major #healthcare #health #pediatric-nursing #nursing-education #financial-planning #registered-nursing

When choosing a career which is more important, interest or benefits?

i know it is important to pursue a career in something you love and find genuine interest in. However, with the way the economy is now a days, it is more important to choose a career based on the benefits and salary. Can you sacrifice not making any money to have a career you enjoy? Can you sacrifice having a career you don't enjoy to make a lot of money? #anyone #financial-planning

I live in Bayville, New Jersey. I heard that jobs down here will pay less money than jobs further north near the Hoboken, Jersey City, NYC areas. Is this fairly true?

It really makes me wonder how this can be. I mean, its got to be common sense because further north means more people and more business. Personally, I would not want to change locations for work just for better income. People always tell me to go north because that is where the money is. I get this type of acknowledgment from friends that have graduated with a degree and even others who have no school education/backgrounds at all. Coming from persons with professional backgrounds, is this technically true? If so I now have more to stress about! #money #income #career #financial-planning

What is a fair amount to earn as a "Founding Engineer" in my situation?

I am currently a student about halfway through my college education. I worked a summer internship at a startup, earning about 36k/year salary. Now, they have offered for me to take 2 quarters off of school and work as the "founding engineer" for the same salary with 3% equity. My main responsibility has been to create the whole software side of the product. Is this a fair amount?#financial-planning

How much does the parental contribution increase for the colleges I'll mention if I try to pay it all off by scholarships?

I heard from the Standford admission office that if you try to pay off all the parental contribution through scholarships, they reduce your need based financial aid and increase your parental contribution. How much do they increase it by? Do they also do this for MIT, UCSD, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Caltech, University of Chicago, and University of Nevada? #financial-planning #admissions-counseling #college-admission

Should I choose the job I love or the job that makes me money?

Looking back at my 16 years of life, I would have never thought I would have to choose between doing what I love and making money. As a little girl, I always dreamed of being a teacher. I looked up to the agents of change at my school and appreciated all of the things they do for me and the other students. For as long as I remember, I have gone to the local dollar store to buy teacher supplies to use to teach my "students" at home. I kept all of my old workbooks and homework from previous years to reteach lessons to the invisible kids sitting on my bedroom floor. (I don't know if that's creepy or not) As a first-generation U.S. citizen from the Philippines, my father has always disapproved my love for teaching. He would tell me that he didn't come to America to work his butt off and raise a child that would make a lower salary for the rest of her life than he makes now. I have to say, I am smarter than the average student. I get all A's and the occasionally B once in a while as a high school student. I am in the top 10% of my class and in my opinion, I could definitely get a high-paying job in the future. My father knows this and doesn't want me to waste my intellect on becoming a teacher. I understand where he is coming from and would tell my own kids the same, but I believe my true calling is becoming someone who inspires, molds, and teaches others to strive to be the best they can be. I will be a junior in high school in the upcoming school year, so I don't have much time before I will attend college. Please let me know what you think it is best to do and add in any experiences that you have had regarding this life-changing choice. #money #career-choice #future-careers #financial-risk #life-choice #financial-planning #career-details #personal-development

Which is more important when choosing a job: salary or work-life balance?

As a high school student, I have many needs and wants throughout the school year. Obviously, I would have to financially support myself if many of my desires are a bit pricey or my parents are no longer supporting me financially (other than food, shelter, etc.) Is it better to take up a part-time job that has a high salary, but would cause me to be stressed and/or too busy for me to maintain a proper social/school life? Or is it simply better for me to have a part-time job that isn't giving me that much money, but is still allowing me to freely juggle my work, school, and social life? Please give me your input and share any experiences that you had regarding a work-life balance during your high school years. #money #salary #work-life-balance #education-management #workflow-management #financial-planning

Any suggestions for intermediate-paid jobs relating to social welfare/NGOs?

I'm recently graduated and thought about applying jobs in Americorps, however, I heard that their jobs are very low-paid. I do not expect myself getting a high paid job right after I graduated from college as it is unrealistic, but I do hope to find a job that is intermediate-paid so that I can be financially independent and at least support my livelihood. What are some entry level options for me to look into if I'm interested in NGO-related work and that has normal salary? #career #job-search #first-job #nonprofits #ngos #organizational-culture #financial-planning #career-details
