Career questions tagged highschool
As a high school student, how do I know if a hobby isn’t what I want to do after high school?
I’ve always stressed over the question “what do want to be when you grow up?” because of how many hobbies I have. I wanted to be a writer for a very long time but I’m starting to think it is just a hobby. I love to do theatre and improv, along with art on many different mediums including digital art. Are these all just hobbies or could they be something more?

Is high school honors worth it?
I'm wondering if high school honors matter to empoylers. I already got accepted ED into Northeastern University, so I assume it won't matter to colleges if I didn't get one. I'm planning to drop a math class as I hate math and it just stresses me out. Will Northeastern rescind my application if I drop that math class? I failed the first term of that math class, so I retook it, but will they recind me if I don't finish the second term. Will graduating from high school matter to empoylers at all?
