How do I devote my career to serving others while making sure I'm financially stable and independent?
My college education has been rich in genuine service, social action, and giving back to my campus and my community. I have loved every second of this experience because I thrive on interacting with new people and I want to change the world. I truly believe people can make an impact and I want my career to be devoted to making the world a brighter place. With that being said, I also want to be financially comfortable and able to support myself and a family one day. What are some of the best opportunities or career fields to enter for someone dedicated to making the world a better place while also financially supporting themselves? #service #leadership
How do I go about creating my own Company in the Engineering Industry?
Being enrolled in the Drexel Co-op program has given me the incites that I am grateful for experiencing before I enter the workforce.

I am a sophomore in high school and I have known ever since I was little that I wanted to go into business. With an #MBA, I know it would be possible for me to work in any field that I may desire in a #leadership position. With so many options, it leaves me unsure of how I'll find a job that is both exciting and fulfilling to work at. I also do not want to apply for a job that I'm overqualified for.

For female professionals: Have you even encountered any obstacles obtaining leadership positions because of your gender, and if so, how did you handle those challenges?
I've always had slight concerns about being a woman pursuing a historically male-dominated field (in my case, psychology research/professorship), and I was curious what have been the experiences of women in leadership positions. Was it difficult getting where you are because of your gender? Are there certain fields where sexism is still a common practice? If you have had any of these experiences, what advice do you have for young women who may be navigating this environment? #leadership #women-in-stem #women #women-in-tech #women-in-engineering #sexism #women-in-leadership #women-in-higher-ed

Action drives us to push our limits and to grow. What are a couple things that I can take action on today to challenge myself and grow?
More of a philosophy question :) There are so many quotes about this concept "action": “Never complain, never explain, just let your actions speak for themselves.” – Benjamin Disraeli “The Superior man is modest in speech but exceeds in his actions.” – Confucius “There are no statues built to those who lived lives of mediocrity, and on the tomb of NO heroes will you find the words, he played it safe” – John Romaniello “Fortune sides with him who dares.” – Virgil “No man is more unhappy that he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.” – Seneca There is something special behind it, and because I lack experience at 19-years-old, I wanted to ask you all what you have done in your life to challenge yourself through action? #business #leadership #philosophy #books #personal-development #growth
