What career paths would be most realistic for me to enter now?
What career paths would be most realistic for me to enter now? I completed my MBA in Finance in 2015, but I have not had any corporate work experience since then. I have been away from the workforce for about 10 years and am now looking to restart my career. I am currently exploring entry-level opportunities in the U.S. and want to choose a career path that is realistic for someone with an MBA but no prior work experience and a long career gap. I am considering areas such as Business Analyst, Data/Financial Analyst, Accounting/Finance, and other entry-level business roles. I am willing to learn new tools and skills from scratch, including Excel, SQL, Tableau/Power BI, and basic data analytics.

Also, if so...could you recommend some good job/volunteer/internships in the triangle area of NC! Thanks so much! (EDIT: This question has been answered!

What to study to become Detective?
What path in studies and all should I pursue if I plan to become a detective(like in law enforcement, probably like CID/CBI/FBI, etc.), (without being a patrol officer and all first, and then taking the long-term journey?) Also, will the same path work out for an investigative psychologist? If not, then what path should I pursue in this case? Can I work in(or with) law enforcement in this case?

How to get a pharmacy technician job without any degree or experience?
Hello! I’m an incoming freshman, about to attend college this fall. Therefore, I have no experience or degree for any medical field yet. However, I searched online and saw that you don’t need experience working as a pharmacy technician in a retail store, sometimes even in hospital. I’m in a pre nursing major, and it has nothing to do with pharmacy except that they both are medical related field. I thought I could try applying for some retail jobs in CVS and/or Walgreen and get those pharmacy tech skills. But I got rejected both times when I applied. I think they mostly want people with experience working in the position. Do you know what I can do to maybe increase the likelihood of getting into there? I heard if I start out working as a cashier in CVS, there’s a more likelihood that I can be promoted to working in the pharmacy area. Is it true? I’m not as serious about pharm tech jobs as of right now, that’s why I wanna try working there to see if I like this job or not. Thank you!
What kind of jobs and opportunities can I find with a Creative Writing or Musical Theater major?

I often find myself worrying about not being able to find good jobs in creative fields. If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it greatly!

Which career would suit me based on the way I think and what I enjoy.?
One thing I've noticed is that I'm fairly good at reading people's emotions and picking up on how they're feeling, even when they don't say it directly. I'm also naturally curious about why people think and behave the way they do. If I could, I'd love to understand the mind of the person in front of me. I love mythology a lot and love learning about different myths(got this love from Percy Jackson) Another thing about me is that I rarely accept an idea at face value. Whenever I support a statement, I almost immediately start thinking of its weaknesses. After a minute or two of deep thought, I can usually come up with a convincing argument against it. Then I often find myself questioning that argument too, creating another opposing statement. And the series of contradictions goes on. Plus, I love those high and mighty rivalry talks you mostly get to see between enemies and all. Makes me feel royal- and I love feeling royal. I am fairly good at academics, but I tend to forget it easily. And I particularly don't like Science much. Because in physics and chemistry, most of the things aren't very clear; I am still unable to get the meaning of velocity(How does distance play a role in it...So I take it as speed in displacement) Outside of academics, I love reading manga, manhwa, and books, especially fantasy, science fiction, psychological, and mystery stories. I also enjoy anime—both mainstream series and those with deeper psychological or philosophical themes. I'm drawn to stories that explore complex characters, moral dilemmas, and human nature more than series that only contain battles. Some of them I love are: Percy Jackson, A Song of Ice and Fire, One Piece, Tokyo Revengers, Naruto, Tomodachi Games and thousands of others.But, I am no good at drawing. I'm especially interested in psychology, human behaviour, and understanding how people think. I would love to read the mind of the person in front of me. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want a job where I spend the entire day sitting alone reading or reviewing long documents, reports or graphs(I hate statistics). I have considered careers like a detective specialised in psychology, a forensic psychologist, an author and all. I would love a career with some adventure. Based on this, what careers do you think would genuinely fit my personality, strengths, and interests? I'm looking for suggestions beyond the obvious ones like "psychologist,"(I could consider it, but it's not the best one) especially careers that involve analysis, investigation, strategy, behaviour, or decision-making. Also, the career should have a good salary. But please, try to recommend me a career that would be kind of adventorous for me, one that I would enjoy.

Help me find a Job.
I recently completed my Master’s in Economics, and I am currently feeling quite lost about what direction to take. While people often assume that completing a master’s degree means having a clear career path, I honestly do not feel that way right now. My course was largely theoretical, and I have realized that I lack many of the practical and quantitative skills that seem to be expected in today’s job market. Initially, I wanted to become a professor. I genuinely enjoy teaching, and the idea of being in academia, doing research, and engaging deeply with a subject is something that still interests me. However, I have not been able to clear the exams required to become eligible for teaching positions, and it has made me question whether I should continue pursuing this path or consider other options. I want to clarify that my goal has always been to become a professor rather than simply take up teaching as a job. At the same time, I am now open to exploring other career paths if they align with my background and interests. The challenge is that I do not know where to start. If I decide to switch roles or move into a different field, I feel like I would be starting from scratch. I do not have a strong practical or quantitative skill set, and I am unsure about what I should learn, how to learn it, and which career paths would actually be realistic for someone with my background. Before suggesting internships or entry-level roles as the first step, I want to mention that I have already tried applying for them. Unfortunately, I have struggled to even get interview opportunities, which has made me realize that I may need to first build the right skills and profile to become a stronger candidate. For people working in economics, research, data, consulting, academia, or related fields, I would really appreciate your advice: * What skills should someone with a theoretical economics background build to become employable? * Should I start with quantitative tools like statistics, econometrics, Python, R, SQL, etc.? If yes, what would be the right order to learn them? * What career options are realistic for someone with a Master’s in Economics but limited practical experience? * Is it possible to transition into research-oriented roles, and what steps would help make that happen? * If I decide to move away from academia, what fields would make sense to explore? I would genuinely appreciate guidance from individuals who have experience in this area or have undergone a similar transition.

I am lost. How to find alignment with what you want?
I have goals and dreams before graduation, and I should have a job offer. Here I am two weeks before graduation, in a rut. I have my ultimate dream internship. However, my experience was cut short since I moved to a remote setup. My goal for 4 years was to land an internship outside my province. I did it. And so what now? I feel hopeless. I am having trouble asking myself what I really want to do + time constraint... I want to do an MBA, but it seems impossible at the moment. I want to do a lot of things but still stuck of what feels true to me at the moment.
