at 18 what can i do if idk if college is for me/don't know what career I want?
I think that college isnt really for everyone and my mom has been constantly talking about my older cousins who graduated as plastic surgeons. I dont really have a passion for medical/health careers . My strongest subject in highschool was journalism , where I use Canva to creating fake magazines and ads for companies like Pepsi or NYX. tbh, rn I'm learning how to do basic CSS/HTML, video editing, making Roblox assets. and I spent most of my highschool years on social media. But when picking a major or even a career, I hesitate because I just don't know what I want rn. Idk if I should stay in community college for another year (I'm freshman) or transfer straight to a far away college to avoid my parents. idk, I just don't feel like I'm having any options: transfer or drop out. also here are some side hustles I tried when I graduated but they sorta failed. e-commerce was hard bc every week a new product would rise and fall + ads were expensive, day trading was calm bc it depended on me and no one else but I had a 45% wr. I tried to learn about freelance brand scaleing bc it seemed similar to making stuff with Canva but quit cus I was confused. then I started doing freelance graphic design. I was super cautious bc of scams and one time I refused an actual client who offered $200. I tried doing clipping for streamers which paid a little but I enjoyed it. I tried getting into memecoins but they're very volatile and I couldnt tell which coins were trustworthy. I sometimes get very unique dreams and I kinda wanna turn it into a video game? also, another thing that might help me know what to do... apps on my phone. I have Roblox.sims, depop, Netflix, Instagram/TikTok, YouTube, capcut, Canva,discord, Pinterest my love, Uber. bank apps. ig that's it. if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it! <3

What steps should I take during my freshman year to ensure I am on the right track? #Spring25
I am a high school senior. I have decided to pursue a career in Early Childhood education. I have been accepted as a freshman to the college of my choice. Now that I am all set to leave for college, I am nervous because I am somewhat of an introvert. What steps should I take during my freshman year to ensure I am on the right track? Is there someone on the college campus that I should stay in contact with to help me sign up for the right classes? Is there an office or group that I should familiarize myself with if I need to sign up to get a tutor? How do I become a member of a study group if I don't know anyone else on campus? #Spring25

Starting dropshipping/print on demand business as a minor as someone who wants to make money with limited income?
Hello! As a freshman in high school, soon sophomore, I have learned a lot out and in school. I want to begin making money now, and I have heard of both drop shipping and print on demand businesses for minors. Print on demand seems more easily accessible to my age, and I want opinions on how to start, my success rate, and from those experience, how much money can be expected to make if I put my all into it (which if I do I will)! I am more likely to do print on demand, but it depends on the money that goes in and out of it, and how each works legally. I still have research a bit, but I wanted to know some opinions. I am also aware I may not make a lot, but with the right effort and hardworking I believe I can.

What are some of the easier AP classes?
I'm currently a freshman in high school only taking AP World (my school only allows this or AP Human Geo for freshman), and it's not my best class but I managed to pass last semester with a B.

Are there any other AP classes that I'm able to take sophomore year that aren't as vigorous as AP World and APUSH? And is taking AP psych a bad idea for sophomore year?
