How can a busy freshman start acting with no experience?
Hi everyone. I am a high school freshman interested in exploring acting. I love singing, voice mimicry, and comedy, but I have never performed before. I feel comfortable trying to perform around my peers, though I can be shy around adults. Unfortunately, my school’s competitive drama auditions have already passed. And given my heavy workload which includes AP classes and year-round competitive swimming my schedule is tight. While I am highly creative, I am also balancing a long-term career interest in becoming an oncology Physician Assistant, but still have some hopes of getting into a acting career because I believe I would enjoy that more. Given my lack of experience and heavy commitments, how can I safely test the waters with acting? Should I focus strictly on school and swimming right now, or is there a manageable way to try acting on the side but still try and turn it into something more than just an on the side thing?
Guys what do i do after school. i have no idea what. I know that for my job, i don't want to sit in a office all day and that would like to work with my hands.
I'm in the 11th grade, I do track and cheer. I have a 19 on my ACT. I'm pretty open to any job that involves using my hands, like being in the medical field or being a auto mechanic.

Is Philosophy a good choice?
As far as I know, Philosophy doesn't have many career options in it. Teacher, policy maker/defining ethics and like, someone who spreads their ideas through social media, author -- are some I am aware of. But does anything else also exist? What does a philosopher earn on average? Can there be time/researches and such things available, like in the Age of Philosophers - where they spread many ideas and such? Mainly, are Philosophers even recognised nowadays? What do the ones who have done a degree in philosophy do now-a-days?

How do you effectively balance discipline with an engaging and enjoyable learning environment?
I am currently a High School Senior looking for a degree in music education. I am very excited to help guide the new generation! I love babysitting my neighbors and work as a camp counselor, however, I find that it is hard to find a balance between having fun and being disciplined. If I play too much into the fun, they get out of control and then refuse to listen to me. But if I am too harsh on them they end up not having any fun at all. I want to know how current teachers find this balance?

How do I pick a major + minor when every option seems like it won’t be sustainable financially, nor for who I am as a person?
I’m a 17 year old junior, and I’m strugglng to make a decision. I’d love a career that allows me to continue engaging with my interests (art, history, fashion, biology), that allows me to play a primarily supportive role in the execution of a project I care about, and allows me to help people, in some way. Though I’d probably be able to find some enjoyment in any job, I think these aspects are what would bring me the most personal fufillment. This has led me down the road of the GLAM sector, and so far, I love the idea of it. Aiding in the presevation and accessibility of knowledge? Cataloging, organizing, and managing records, items, and complicated but pretty structured systems? Researching for and designing exhibitions? What a dream it would be! Unfortunately, like a lot of fields meant to be in service of the people, it just doesn’t make good money. Despite knowing I’d love the job and the work I would do, I’m just not sure if I want to make myself go through that, especially with the current state of the world. It feels kinda selfish that I don’t want to waste my life away in a job I can’t stand, but I also don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of my life. My family is very much comfortable in my home country—I’ve truly never worried about finances here—but I am very sure that I’ll be studying abroad, and I am accutely aware that I won’t have economic support to the level that I’m used to. On top of the money troubles, I know the field is highly competitive and high-pressure, that it’s incredibly difficult to get into without connections, and that I’ll almost definitely go into debt to get the education most positions need. I would pivot, but I feel as if I’m too far in. My subjects, extracurriculars, and life has been built around this one thread, how am I meant to cut it and start anew? All other roads lead to careers that I feel so unsure about, or require skills I feel I’m too late to pick up. While I can learn to navigate and use a database, I’m still not very good with computers, or people, or chemistry. I don’t have any spark of entrepreneurship. I have a tiny interest in medicine, but I don’t think I could handle the responsibilty; someone losing their life because I made a mistake terrifies me. Sorry for the rant! D: But that leads me back to my original question, how do I pick a path when everything feels like a dead end? Every compromise makes me feel insane, because it just feels like I’m walking in circles and running into the same problems. It never feels like I’m actually reaching a middle ground, where I won’t be constantly worried about bills AND still actually like my job. Maybe this is just some character flaw I need to work through? Maybe I just need to be more adaptable, more willing to take risks and slum it. Maybe I just need to expand my horizons and look for more options? But I don’t know anymore. Should I just look for a major that gets me a corporate job and have the personally fufilling things as a minor and side job? What jobs does “corporate” even include? Do I look for an integrated degree? Should I just go into like archiving or digital cataloging? Again, I’m SO sorry for this behemoth of a question! I’m just genuinely at my wit’s end. If anyone could provide any words of wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated! :D
