Is electrical engineering right for me?
Hello! I'm a high school senior applying for college, and I know I want to do engineering but I'm still a bit unsure about what type to apply for. I was considering Electrical Engineering because the classes sound interesting and I've read up on a couple topics independently because of that, but I'm afraid I don't really know what they're like -- I've taken AP Physics 2 but not AP Physics C, and I really don't know much about hardware in electronics. I'm also not the time to take things apart and put them together, but I'm still interested in math/science as well as problem solving. I just want to know if choosing EE as a major could work out, or if there is a better option for someone like me. Thank you! #ee #electrical-engineering #high-school #college #engineering #tech #technology #major #electrical #college-majors

When going into college, is it fine to not have a clear idea of what you want to do?
I am only a sophomore in high school and I have a general gist of what I would like to do, but I am not really sure if I could decide when the time comes later. There's a few things I enjoy but I don't really know how classes will work for college exactly. I really like subjects like biology and computer science, but I don't really know if it is something I would enjoy for a career. I am worried I will commit to something I don't want to pursue anymore and waste time and money. It's also difficult to decide on a college for this reason.

Any tips on saving for university?
Hi! I’m hoping to attend university in a few years and the financial burden of it all has been worrying me. I’m a high school student, and the only source of income in my family comes from my dad. I’ve spoken with my parents about plans for college and it seems that they expect me to at least partially rely on scholarships and financial aid to be able to afford an undergraduate education. I‘d be willing to take up a job or whatever other options there are for someone in my position. I know it’s a pretty vague question, but I’d really appreciate it if anyone would share how they managed their tuition fees. What would you recommend I look into so that I can avoid any serious debt in the future? What can I do throughout high school to take some of the stress off of my parents’ shoulders? Any general guidance would be very helpful! #college #financial-aid #scholarship #financial-planning #university #high-school
