After earning a college degree, what is the next step for sports journalism?

Is it ideal to seek out internships, or should I let opportunities find me? Is it best to try to get a deal with a news source and pump out work? Or do I shadow experienced sportswriters and hone my skills? The world after college feels so broad, so I would appreciate advice on how to find guidance.

As a future civil engineering student, what things should i prioritize or focus on the most in college (Grades, Internships, hands on projects) in order to be successful in the future after graduating? Which would have the longest term impact on careers and what did you wish you focused on more in school?

I am a high school senior and I want to study and go into civil engineering, I know there are a lot of specialties in the field so I'm excited to learn more about them. I've shadowed a civil engineer which helped me understand the job more and made me more curious about the projects they work on.

How do I get started networking with sports teams?

I’m a senior in high school looking to start networking with sports teams, athletic trainers, and sports medicine physicians. My long-term goal is to work with professional athletes after college, specifically in the NHL or NFL. I’m eager to learn from others’ experiences and career paths, and I would love opportunities to shadow or observe professionals in the field. Any advice on how to get started, connections to reach out to, or stories you’re willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

Who can I shadow if I plan to get a job in psychology of some sort?

I am hoping to shadow somebody in my career path (hopefully psychology) before I graduate high school. However, I understand there is liability concerns for students to shadow doctors of any field. It is a requirement for us to shadow somebody, so I just want the closest thing that can still give me experience. If it helps at all, I do hope to get a pediatric job in the field.

How do I find labs to shadow as a junior in high school and how do I reach out to them to say I'm interested?

Hi! I am a junior in high school, and I am interested in chemistry. However, to solidify if I want to go into research, I want to get lab experience and shadow someone in a lab. I have already taken all of the advanced chemistry courses my high school offers, scored high, and enjoyed the content. But I don't know where to find these experiences and how to contact these places. I don't want to get paid to be in these labs. I just want to observe what they do in labs. Should I look into university labs?

I'm stuck at home trying to figure out what career to choose. I know my interests and talents, (listed in my profile) but I can't pick something because I haven't had the chance to be hands-on to know what it's really like to be in that career rather than just googling information about it. #career #career-counseling #career-choice #career-path #shadowing #job-shadowing #remote #networking

Would it be better to work as a medical scribe or job shadow doctors?

I do not really have any experience with the medical field, and I really want more exposure because I think that I am interested in becoming a doctor. What way would you suggest to be the best way to introduce myself to and get more involved with this field? Is it difficult to be a scribe if you don't really know much medical terminology? #hospitals #doctor #shadowing #medicine

What should I know for shadowing?

I'm a rising senior, and I've always been confused about this. I would love to be a doctor (I'm debating on the type) and would like to shadow my local doctors to see which would be a better "fit" for me, but I don't want to show up naive or seem unintelligent. I don't want the doctor to quiz me or ask me a question such as "are you familiar with this type of disease or medication?", to which, I'm not even familiar with medication disease names! I don't want the doctor to think that they're wasting their time on me because I don't know anything. So my question is, what should I know? Should I cram names of diseases and medications into my brain? Should I memorize the formal name of each body part? I'd like to hear from a doctor's opinion on shadowing and what they'd like to see in a student shadow. Thanks for the help! #hospital #doctor #medicine #pediatrician #shadowing #learning

What is the best way to approach a veterinarian regarding job-shadowing?

Most veterinarian practices that I have run into or researched do not have a student program which allows for internships or volunteering--they are simply medical practices. However, shadowing a vet can give great insight into deciding if the vet-path is a good career path for a student and most schools require x number of hours of vet-shadowing. How can I approach vets about shadowing? Is cold calling a good idea? Emailing? Also, how can you negotiate shadowing for a long period of time (months, rather than just one weekend)? #internships #veterinarian #veterinary #volunteering #veterinary-medicine #volunteer #work-shadowing #shadowing
