Could a bubbly person thrive in financial/business planning and guidance?
I'm interested in math and helping people, so financial or business planning/guidance seems pretty cool, but I'm nervous about getting bored at work. I'm a bubbly people-person and love problem-solving. However, the idea of going into a career with so much paperwork and office work seems awful, but again, I love math and helping people. (I'm still in highschool, so this isn't a binding idea, just something I'm curious about!) Any thoughts on whether this wouldn't be a great career for lively people? I also am still struggling with confidence and am not awesome at being decisive and standing up for myself in front of other people. I can do that behind the scenes, though. If that makes sense!

Communication Technology vs Electrical Engineering?
As a freshman in college, I have a GPA of 3.5 and got mostly B's in math. I have experience with technology (like basic coding) but not engineering in high school. Two majors at my school are Communication Technology (CT) and Electrical Engineering (EE). CT contains classes in digital media production, coding, business, and telephones/electricity. EE contains topics like physics, math, science, and making electronics. The reason why I'm interested in these two is I want a good paying job where I can make enough money to travel, yet where I can pursue my interests in creating stuff. I've always felt intimidated by engineering, because you do alott of math. Yet, I heard you can become a theatre engineer and acoustics or sound engineer! I like that there's so much careers you can do in CT but Idk many people with this career. Anyone have advice? Can I enter EE without any experience? Can CT be good?

Data Science/Scientist Questions
I recently learned about the field of Data Science. I'm seriously considering a career in Data Science because it combines my interests in math, computer science, research, and writing. I'm really interested in learning more about it as a career. My questions are: 1.) What do data scientists do? 2.) According to an article I found on Indeed, some things that data scientists may do include "working in social media companies and using the user data to understand habits and suggest content that the users will enjoy. They may also work in politics and make predictions about the election results. " What else may they work on besides this? I like the idea of studying retail data, or data on where college graduates relocate to. 3.) Does it involve a lot of math, or is it mostly computer-based? 4.) What are the pros and cons of this career? 5.) Is it in demand? When I was researching data science on LinkedIn, I found a disheartening number of posts by laid-off data scientists. 6.)How much education to you need to become a data scientist? 7.) Are data scientist jobs mostly in person or remote. If they're in person, where are they mostly located (e.g. East/West Coast, big cities, specific cities, etc.) 8.) Is it a popular career choice? Is it a popular career choice among women? 9.) What classes/self-study courses should I take to see if I would enjoy being a data scientist? 10.) Can you get an MBA with a focus in data science? If you can think of anything else that would be useful for me to know, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!! :)
