What can I expect in a career like non-partisan policy analysis?
I am a 15 year old and I enjoy researching in my down time and a drive to solve world issues. In my recent dive into future careers, I found out about a policy analyst career, which I found interesting and, perhaps, too good to be true. I would like to ask professionals about the positives and negatives of getting into non-partisan analysis, which path is best for both my interests in social/environmental issues, and what skills I might need to develop as a current 9th grader, going into 10th grade. A lot of details would be highly appreciated.

How to Market a Health Science Degree?
I recently graduated with a B.S. in Health a few months ago and feel stuck. While in undergrad I tried many different career paths but nothing seemed to really stick until I found out about health science/medical libraries towards the end of senior year. I was able to find a library assistant job to get a feel before getting my MLIS, and I love it here, but I am having second thoughts about whether the degree is worth it or not due to very little job opportunities and less funding because of the current political environment. I'm not really good at anything other than a knack for creativity and finding/organizing information (I've been told I'm a good writer too), but I can't help but wonder if there are any other careers out there?

Which path should I follow?
I am currently at a decisive stage of my education. At 22, I am about to complete my undergraduate degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of the Andes a discipline I value and enjoy. However, Medicine has always been my true passion and the ultimate goal I wish to pursue. I am considering two possible paths: Pursuing Medicine: Starting this journey after graduating in Nutrition. I am aware it is a long road of approximately 6 to 7 years, but it would allow me to become a physician with an exceptional foundation in nutrition. Specializing in Nutrition: Deepening my expertise in my current field to enter the clinical and professional world more quickly. While time is a significant factor, my desire to serve through medicine remains strong. I am now looking to define which of these paths will lead to my greatest professional fulfillment

Is Healthcare the right path and how to get employed in Healthcare (Orlando, FL)?
I'm dropping out of Mechanical Engineering to pursue a career in Healthcare. From what I've learned in this current landscape and job market, healthcare seems to be the last bastion of hope for job security and stability. I've landed on something administrative or business related, and not anything nursing adjacent, also since I wouldn't like to spend a lot of time in schooling. From what I've read, heard, and gathered tech healthcare careers are very competitive are hard to get and nursing is exhausting according to the ones I've talked to ( anyone correct me if I'm wrong, I would like to hear experiences and other perspectives). I'm thinking about doing Medical Office Specialist (MOS) since it seems specialized and quick, at least what Chatgpt can tell me lol. My universities resources for career advice aren't really helpful to me either. Anyone know what someone in this field needs to do get a job right after a certificate or degree completion? Do you need to go to job fairs, cold DM or calls? Do hospitals have programs or job placement after wards? Do I need a portfolio of experience? I have experience at a Health Center in medical billing and being a cashier for patients, if that helps. Does anyone know any better alternatives for my situation? What path did you go down and what would you say is best?

How can we improve health practices or get better at them?
I’m interested in going to medical school to become a psychiatrist, one day hoping for my own private practice. I have often heard many stories about medical professionals not helping patients or advocating for them. How do you think we can improve health practices for the community and what can I implement in my own private practice. I understand not everyone is the same and different people prioritize different things, but I want people to feel safe going to hospitals or any place of heath and knowing they will be treated with care, honesty, and knowing workers trying their best.
