What are some extracurriculars I could do that is stem/medicine based?
I’ve had a lot of ideas on what Extracurriculars I want to do but they just seem too much for me to accomplish as a 16 year old. Some ideas I had was formulating an eco friendly sunscreen using chemistry principals but I would assume you need to have a degree in chemistry. Another idea was creating a skin cancer detecting app, or starting a program by going around to different schools, and/or community centers providing information on skin cancer and hosting events with the help of volunteers from my school. Honestly this all just seems really complicated for me to do especially without a mentor. I plan to start volunteering at a kidney center next month and get a part time job on the weekends. At the moment I am applying to stem/medicine based internships. I need some advice. I am 16 and in 10th grade. I plan to major in chemistry and I aspire to be a dermatologist.

What career other than vet could someone with an interest in animals/healthcare pursue?
I’m an 11th grader. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian since I was 5. I’ve taken all the classes I believed were useful for my career and am in a program for aspiring medical professionals.

I considered becoming a paramedic but I was told it was a high-stress, low-pay job. What other careers could I pursue?
What are any recommendations for young artists trying to make a profit?
Hi everyone! I am a 19 yr old female college student. I want to be able to profit off my art but don’t know where or how to start. I feel quite unfulfilled with my life and the fields I’m going towards in college. I have recently undergone a lot of personal growth and am a bit stuck because I realized I do not want to do any of the things I am starting to study. I am a multi faceted realism painter& drawer, i crochet, sew, make jewelry through wire wrapping and other methods, i write & illustrate poetry, and am deeply involved with nature. I know a lot about energy and quantum energy healing techniques. I’m in the works of becoming a healer for people because I want to share what helps me. I love helping people and I’m great with kids but I want to pursue something that also involves art and is outside of public education. I have been looking to get into seasonal jobs but would need a campground or housing provided. I am planning on getting on the road as well to travel full time because I am very into art and music fairs. I am a Renaissance Faire avid go-er and hopefully will get a job tracking. I know how little it pays, and I know how unpredictable it is. I have experience in the outdoors with camping and experienced homelessness multiple times throughout childhood and am not worried about that at all. I don’t want a lot of money in life and I am purely looking for inner peace. I have no idea how to kickstart a profit my art because I’ve been trying for years, lol. Any advice or recommendations are deeply appreciated! I am on the autism spectrum & have ADHD. I am very high functioning but i really struggle in succeeding in areas I’m not passionate about. I’m super broke and grew up with no wealth in my family and am deeply struggling with balancing finances. Positivity only welcomed here!! Thank you 🌿
