What do you regret in life?
Hey there, I was wondering what you regretted in your life such as misbehaving in class, not caring about certain oppurtinities that would've helped you with life, or even rejecting offers that were huge. I'm going to 7th grade, and I just wanted to know if there's anything that I should not do, or should do. In addition to that, I also want to know people's experiences.
What is the #1 thing that you will or do miss after graduating from middle, kindergarten, pre-k, elementary, and high school?
We all have that one regret of graduating from different levels of education, especially when you were young and missed how it was before you finished your education.

I'm in 9th grade, and before I wanted to be a non-surgical orthopedic or a Sports medicine physician, but know i want to do marketing in sports or just marketing in general.

What kind of jobs can I get if I don't have a good enough gpa, which is a 2.5 GPA, and at least get to 75k entry level
I'm a 9th grader, and I love playing soccer, and I love the marketing world, and I just want to know if I can find a job in marketing because I know right now it's challenging with my 2.5 gpa and i havent taken any marketing classes (im doing that my 10th or 11th grade), and I just want ot make a lot of money, and I hate math and science, but I don't think that would get in the way. Thank you, and also one more question: I've been thinking of going into finance if I don't like marketing, so I just want to know more about finance with my interests, and I know a lot of places have different salaries, and I just want to know the median, or even better, in Minnesota
What should I do during the summer before my freshman year or during my freshman year of high school to have a strong foundation for college apps?

Should I take the SAT or ACT or both? When should I take them?
I'm a rising freshman and I've already completed math classes up to Algebra 2. However, the reading and comprehension part is not my forte. I'm wondering if I should take the SAT/ACT in my freshman year or not, and if I should take both.
For my freshman year, should I take AP Precalc AB or BC? If BC, should I take Multivariable Calc & Lin Alg or just AP Stats for my junior year? If I take AB, that means I will most likely take Calc BC in 11th grade, which doesn't sound too appealing. The idea is if I'm taking BC, I could directly go on to Calc BC for sophomore year, so I could have my 11th grade year easier and just take AP Stats instead. However, I'm just worried it will be too much to handle.
I'm currently a rising freshman and I've taken all previous math classes before.

How can I build “career capital” before college in a way that compounds over time in business and marketing?
Hello everyone! I am a high school student interested in pursuing a career in business, marketing, and finance, with the long-term goal of becoming a marketing director and eventually earning an MBA. Instead of only focusing on traditional milestones like GPA or college admissions, I have been thinking more about how to build “career capital” early—skills, experiences, and networks that will continue to compound and help me create opportunities over time. At my stage, it sometimes feels like students are encouraged to do many disconnected activities just to look well-rounded, rather than focusing on a few high-impact experiences that could actually develop real-world value and cane open opportunities into the different area one set his dreams on, and the door those skills could open into his future. From your professional perspective, what are the most valuable types of experiences, skills, or projects that a high school student can start building now that would continue to compound in value during college, help me differentiate me in competitive business/marketing environments and accelerate my long-term career growth beyond just getting a first job. I am especially interested in advice that goes beyond the typical recommendations (like “join clubs” or “get good grades”) and instead focuses on strategic, high-leverage actions. Thank you!
