What high school and community college classes or extracurriculars should I do to prepare for a Psychology PhD and gap year?
Hi there! I am a high school junior starting August 2024 and I intend on getting my Psychology undergrad, taking a gap year to travel, then returning to get my Psychology PhD. The career path I have chosen is a post-secondary Psychology teacher (a psychology professor). What classes or extracurriculars would you recommend in high school to prepare me? I am a little lost on what classes will be helpful in the long run.

What should we look for in a college as a History major?
Hi, I’m trying to help my son figure out his path to and through college. He is a history buff and his goal is to get a PhD Or doctorate in history. During our research we found a lot of Grad programs and I’m wondering if there are any specific programs or courses we should look into for undergrad to start the way. Any feedback would be appreciate! Thank you!!

How can I get a research opportunity or internship with a professor or company as a high school student?
Hi, I am an high school junior interested in conducting a research or interning in the engineering field this summer, but I’m not sure where to start or how to go about it. I contacted a lot of engineering firms around me and most of them either don’t do internships or don’t have any openings. I don’t have any research questions I specifically want to study, so I was thinking about emailing professors at nearby universities/colleges about joining their research but I’m afraid it might only be limited to students of that university with some sort of experience. I’m also worried that it might be too late since the university’s spring semester around me (their current semester) has just ended. Should I still try and email professors about to join their research, and if so, how? Or should I keep contacting more firms around me? What do you think I should do?

How should college students reach out to professors for letters of recommendation ?
I am a second-year psychology student and while I have received letters of recommendation from staff, asking professors seems a bit daunting. Is there a way to ask that would be received better? When applying to multiple opportunities is there a limit to how much time so should ask them to submit their recommendation?

Why is college more expensive ?
Why is college so expensive/ university? Are we supposed to be 40 and still living with student debt? Are we supposed to work our 40k job to pay the 300k dollars on student loans?

How do you focus on your career with being distracted with a relationship ?
Unless you have something important to do other than classes, which you think will help your self-growth indirectly, never skip classes. (good for attendance also, end-sem papers are made by professors who teach you, they often hint during class on the topics which they will put more weightage in exams.)
