what is the best ways to find business mentors? esp those who are in a financial position that I aspire to be at
I am an absolute wreck when it comes to showing up in networking events. I often times do not know enough to be curious about the other person and how he/she is doing, and ask questions that will lead the attention back to my agenda of seeking someone established as a mentor. How should I best cold approach someone in networking events that I meet at the first time? How can i be strategic about it F2F, or online when I'm going about LinkedIn? I feel that I am very blinded and without a plan, yet I know that stupid action beats perfect inaction.
How do I connect with alumni who had my major?

College Applications/Schools List Deciding Career?
Hello I am a rising senior; I am wondering if anybody could give me advice on college applications. I live in Florida and I feel like staying in state would be a reasonable choice especially since it is expensive to go out of state. I want to major in Psychology and become a licensed psychologist. I am almost done completing my associate degree in high school. It would allow less money to pay for college. But I heard by my family that I should at least reach for some big schools out of state but I am unsure whether too. I have a couple listed but wondering if I should not apply for them. I will be applying for all universities in Florida and right now I have UT Austin, University of Georgia, University of Tennessee, Texas A&M, UT Dallas (I choose to put 3 schools in Texas since I really liked the atmosphere and the city there when I visited family). If anybody was in my position during college application season or decided to stay in state in Florida instead. What advice/guidance would you give? Also it would be really helpful if anybody majored in psychology and had any experiences of choosing a school in Florida that helped flourish their career.

How impactful is networking?
I'm Shiloh, a 7th grader who hopes to pursue a career in aerospace and eventually become an astronaut. Currently I'm building my portfolio to get a scholarship that can boost my career. Students are often encouraged to build strong networks, but it can be difficult to understand the real impact, in aerospace or any related fields, how much do professional relationships influence career opportunities, and in what ways?

How can you best find internships, jobs, networking opportunities and etc in college Is it mainly by asking your professors and other staff members?
Wow, it has been way too long since I've used this. Well, here are some updates about myself: I'm sixteen now, I just finished 10th grade at JD Clement Early College, and I've decided that I want to major in English and minor in journalism. I actually joined Hillside's theatre department and jazz band (playing the guitar), and I was second-cast (behind a senior) for a main role in Seussical: the Musical as Jojo. I'm mainly invested in my creative writing now, and have a few manuscripts of stories that I've already finished—although I will continue doing theatre and jazz band. I know that I may not make much money from publishing books, and I've decided that I would also like to find a job that is still related to writing, even if it isn't fictional writing. Should I just talk to people in the English department?
