Which MS Finance Program should I choose?
Hello!! I will be pursuing a master's in Finance this year. I got accepted to 3 universities, but I don't know which one I should pick. I'm coming straight out of undergrad with a Bachelor's in liberal arts and haven't been able to secure any finance-related internships. So, I decided to do a master's in finance to pivot in my career. My goals are to be a financial analyst or an Investor relations professional, and I would like to pivot my career in financial planning down the line. I got accepted into MS QF from Northeastern, MSF from Ohio State, and MFIN from UCI. Which one should I pick based on my career goals? I live in CA currently and I got a 25k scholarship to attend UCI, 16k for Ohio, and 10k for Northeastern.

Masters Degree From Abroad?
What are your thoughts on getting a masters degree overseas? I'm interested in getting a masters (electrical engineering), but ideally abroad. Next semester, I'm going to study abroad in Japan. How does getting a masters overseas compare to getting one domestically? Why do employers and companies like candidates who have studied abroad? If you have studied abroad, how has that helped you as not only an employee at your respective companies, but as a person in general. If you haven't studied abroad, do you regret it?

What should I do Is law school really worth it for my future? ?
Hi everyone! I hope all is well with you. My name is Kailynn, and I am currently an undergraduate student interested in attending graduate school. However, I am deeply debating whether I should attend law school (a dual degree program to also complete my master's) or just pursue a master's degree. I am interested in programs such as Public Health, Business/Public Administration, and Environmental Management. My goal is to work in global or corporate sustainability, and eventually, I want to open my own firm. :) I love law and have always been interested in it. However, in terms of practicing and having to take the bar, that's something I don't really want to do. I know the experience can be very favorable, but I also have real test anxiety with taking the LSAT. Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

What science/biology jobs can I get with a BA in early education? Should I go to grad school?
I graduated with a PreK-4 Education degree last year. I've been substitute teaching, but it hasn't been very fulfilling and my mental health is suffering because of it. I'm wondering if I should go back to school and get a new BA or a masters in something I'm more passionate about. I really like science/biology/sustainability and history so I would love to study that, but still work with kids somehow. I would really appreciate ideas on potential career routes/ masters degrees that I could pursue! I like working with kids, teaching, and grading papers, but the realities of being a teacher (poor working conditions, low pay, stress) is already catching up to me. I like "customer service" type jobs where I can work with people, but I want to engage my brain a little more.

What would you suggest as a good career path to someone who enjoys learning and helping others understand concepts (e.g. disease process)?
Currently an RN (passed boards Nov 2023 and got registered on Jan 2024) working in a non-bedside role (CPO - Clinical Process Outsourcing) with no actual clinical experience. I am considering taking up Masters of Arts in Nursing if I find an affordable opportunity because I feel like I want to study more but I'm not sure if it's for me and I don't really know where that can take me in my career. I am interested in MAN non-thesis because I like being able to learn new things and question as to why things are in a certain way. I get a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from learning and being able to understand things in depth. I also did consider like research nursing or being and educator, but I feel like I might need bedside experience for those... I don't think I'm strong enough to be at the bedside (life-death is in your hands), I enjoy more of the knowledge side of things. A part of me also really wants to travel so if ever an opportunity arises that I can either afford through a scholarship to study masters abroad, I would love that especially since I grew up outside of the PH in the first place and I long for diversity so much. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what paths I can take with this in mind.

How do I break into the consulting world?
I am a 23 year old from the United States finishing my Masters degree in International Business Management in France at Grenoble Ecole de Management. Although I am in a Masters program, it is still very difficult to break into the consulting world. I tried searching for mentorship programs at some of the top consulting firms, but from what I have seen, they are only offering these programs to people with diverse backgrounds, which I do not have. Any tips for improving my resume or any free online courses that you may know of would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
