How Did You Figure Out What Your Dream Job Was?
I'm a high school senior who has wanted to be a veterinarian ever since middle school, but after shadowing every veterinarian in my area, I realized that I did not want to be a veterinarian anymore. Since then, I have changed my "career path" numerous times. I thought I wanted to be a wildlife biologist, a photographer, a dancer, a choreographer, a systems architect, a lawyer, an environmentalist, a teacher, a surgeon, and more. I just can't decide on anything and due to the fact that I have my 2-year AA degree (through PSEO) my generals are all completed so I really only need to do 2 more years of college for my intended major, but I don't know what it is yet. Any advice would be appreciated! #stressed #help #veterinarian #dance #choreography #wildlife-biology #environmental-science #systemsarchitect #surgeon #teacher #lawyer #photography #pseo
Is it hard for a foreigner that went to American Law School to find work?
I'm an undergraduate at UT Austin currently on a student visa and I think I want to go to Law School but I don't know if it'll be easy to find work since I would need the workplace to sponsor an H1-B visa or a Greencard for me to stay in America. Does anybody relate to this situation or know someone that does? It's hard for me to bet my future on this since going to Law School here would be useless if I had to move back to my country afterward. Thank you!

I took a career test and it results concluded I should be a lawyer, but I've heard that's a lot of schooling. I've also volunteered at Alzheimer facilities and similar activities and have been told that might be an option, however I'm not sure it's for me. Any suggestions on what I should become?
