What college should I choose? what should I do with my degree afterward?
I am currently a junior in high school and I really want to major in journalism in college. But, I am not sure what college I want to go to and what I want to do with me degree (I want a bachelors degree). I would like to stay in the state of Ohio for my college. I would also like my job to be something that pays well but something I don't have to do the same thing every day in and I get to travel. With all of that, what college in ohio would be the best fit for me? And what job could be able to do the things I have described above?

Thinking of dropping a degree and going for another one, I mean should I? After giving it a year.
I'm in my first year of a BA degree, my subjects are Psychology, English Lit & Education. Things are not working well for me, I am not liking it so far, disappointed with my college and myself. All I think of is working in the media field, taking interviews, hosting shows, working in publishing companies in abroad. A reason I choose English Lit & Psychology at the first place, plus options are very limited here, their isn't much choice for a degree and I can't move out yet. It's so freaking confusing! Should I drop this degree and go for a media degree instead? Is it too late? Is the media field safe? What if I loose everything and ruin my career? Family disappointment is another issue :-( Failure scares me so much.

Which is better: continuing to work a job you've grown to dislike because it is advantageous for you career-wise, or finding a new job that you genuinely enjoy?
I've always believed that if you pursue a career you love, then you'll never work a day in your life, so I've followed my dreams and have always planned to pursue my passion, even if it might not result in the most high-paying job. This passion is writing. However, throughout the years, I've discovered that not just any type of writing suits me. I did informal work as a journalist by copywriting for my high school yearbook for my entire four years of high school, and now I’m continuing that type of journalistic work by working as a copy editor and staff writer for my college newspaper. The problem is that I don’t like journalism. I don’t quite hate it, exactly, but I’d much rather be devoting my time and energy into creative writing. I forced myself to do copywriting for all four years of high school even though I disliked it and thought about quitting so many times, mainly because I wanted to have one extracurricular that I had done consistently to put on my college resume. But now that I’m in college, I find myself stuck in the same position—I’m writing for the student newspaper, but I don’t actually like this job because it’s practically identical to my yearbook role. I can’t quite bring myself to just quit so easily because I’ve convinced myself that if I stick with writing for the newspaper for all four years, then it will be good job experience, especially since I want to go into publishing in the future, but do I really want to put myself through yet ANOTHER four years of forcing myself to tough it out in a job that I don’t like? Is it wrong to want to put my mental health and happiness first, even if I know that sticking it out in this job might be more advantageous career-wise? The thing is, I don’t even want to do journalism as my career—I want to work in creative writing or publishing, but I’m trying to be open-minded about all writing opportunities. At the same time, though, I don’t want to get stuck in a career in journalism when that was never what I wanted in the first place. I’m just so stressed and confused about what I should do. When I asked my aunt for advice, she basically told me I was being too naive and that it’s called a “job” or “work” because you’re not SUPPOSED to like what you do in the first place, so she advised me to just stick it out. The whole reason I wanted to pursue a writing job is because I love writing, but the thing is, I’m not enjoying THIS type of writing, and it just makes me think… what was the point of pursuing my passions in the first place if I’m still not happy? Instead of doing journalism, which makes me so unhappy, I might as well have worked toward becoming a doctor or lawyer or something, since I’d be equally as unhappy but they’re higher-paying jobs. I’m a seriously conflicted student in need of career advice. #college #journalism #writing #job #work-life-balance #work #career-advice #help #career-help #advice #technical-writing #creative-writing #publishing #editing #career #following-your-passions #career-counseling #career-choice #career-path #student #career-planning #student-advice #writing-and-editing

My friends and I are starting a student-run magazine surrounding topics in the humanities. What should I know as the writer of the health/medicine section?
I’m a high school student who likes to learn about medicine as well as the intersection between medical science and the humanities/social sciences. Since our magazine is mostly humanities-based, my writing will be based on public health, bioethics, and other ways medicine and health are connected with society and culture. As a high schooler, my limitations include a lack of budget, lack of time, not being able to travel, and knowledge that mostly comes from biased sources. What are some ways I can minimize bias in my writing and avoid spreading misinformation? What are some things I can do to provide information that is accurate as possible? What are other things I should keep in mind? Thanks #CV23
