If STEM was just one of your interests in school, how did you balance your love for other "less stable" careers such as arts. How important is it to prioritise what will benefit your future than what will make you truly passionate?
I'm currently a year 12 student and will pursue a STEM career in neuroscience if my ATAR is sufficient. However, I also have many other interests involving the arts that I want to incorporate in my career but not sure how to :,)

I am somewhat interested in STEM, but I don't really know what specifically I wanna do?
I am a bit interested in engineering, possibly heading down the medical route, cog sci, I'm not really sure #tech #women-in-stem #stem #tech #stemcareers #medical #cognitive-science #engineering #medicalschool
Is it beneficial to show evidence of branching out in my career and expanding upon my future career options by minoring in a field different from my major?
I am planning on entering college as a bioengineering major, though that is subjective to change depending on the college. However, I was wondering whether it would be beneficial for me to apply with a business, political science, or history minor to add more to my resume and degree. It would add more time for me to graduate with my undergraduat degree, but I am willing to do it if it will help me with getting a job or getting accepted into a graduate school later. #college #business #engineering #career #college-major #graduate-school #stem #political-science

If you have a degree in Computer Science, what kind of jobs will you be able to get?
Will you be able to travel across the country? I have only seen a couple of movies where a person works with computer science but to be completely honest I don't know that they do, it seems as hacking is the only excitement that they get? What are the fun aspects of this major and what is the highest potential with this major? Lastly, what qualities should the ideal candidate have for this major? #computer-software #stem #bachelors #computerscience

STEM meets writing
I am a student that thrives in STEM classes. When identifying a struggle I face at school, I would have to say I struggle to find the motivation and focus to write essays. I am a decent writer, but I simply don't enjoy writing. If I were to become a geneticist, or something similar, would I be required to write reports/essays? In addition, what are some medical/stem careers that require a lot of writing? #stem #geneticist #medicine

What basic knowledge do you need in order to pursue a future in engineering?
I am a senior in high school and I took numerous AP classes in my junior and senior years. During my senior year, I took AP Calc BC, AP Physics, and AP Computer Science. Were these classes enough to get me started in being an engineer? Also, what should I take in college to further help me reach my goal? Thank you! #engineer #career #STEM #college
How should I deal with discrimination in the work place?
I am a 17 year old senior female soon going for my bachelors in materials science and my top choice for college is highly male dominated (87% male). Giving STEMs track record, I’ll likely face discrimination because of my gender and I’d like insight on how to deal with discrimination while staying true to myself. #stem #nanotechnology #material-science
Does anyone have any specific guidance for a strong STEM student with ADHD and Dyslexia that may want a career teaching STEM subject to students with similar disabilities?
I'm a high school senior with ADHD and Dyslexia. I also have been successful taking high level math and science classes as well as AP digital art. I am considering a career where I can help other students with similar disabilities be successful in their STEM classes and, hopefully, pursue their own STEM career. Beyond a "normal" education degree that may not provide the specialized education specific to STEM, are there particular courses, majors, minors, or internships that I should be considering? #teaching #stem #special-education #educational-technology #dyslexia
Why are there no scholarships specific to graduate school?
I am applying to graduate school, and many scholarships (70% I would say) are specific to undergraduate studies. In addition, there are very specific graduate school scholarships around stem, a field I have no interest in. #stem #college #college-advice #graduate-school #financial-planning #scholarships
If I were to become an orthodontist, which STEM field would be the most beneficial to major in for my undergrad?
I am a high school senior and plan on becoming an orthodontist. I know that your undergrad degree doesn't have to be of a specific major, but it is recommended to major in a science. I am debating between biology (general) and biochemistry. Orthodontics is largely overlooked and it's difficult to find the answers online. #dentistry #stem #orthodontist #stem1
similar jobs to a geneticist
I am a student that thrives in my STEM classes and loves genetics specifically. What are some careers that may be for me other than being a geneticist? In addition, I like the idea of working in a hospital, specifically one near Boston, MA. I hesitate when thinking about becoming a geneticist because I fear that I will not have as much children/people interactions that I would love to have be apart of my career. #STEM #hopital #Boston

What conferences or events are good for me to attend if I want a career in STEM?
I want a career in STEM (not sure what yet, exactly) and I heard a good thing for me to do is attend conferences and events related to STEM education /careers to learn more about my options and to meet new people. I live in Michigan, and couldn't find many events for high school students in the area. I'm open to traveling in the surrounding area though. Do you know of any events or conferences that allow high school students to attend? Thank you #engineering #science #technology #mathematics #stem

What are the benefits of a smart mirror?
I did an assignment which involved developing a smart mirror; to make it more valuable I added educational resources. Through this I was trying to convey that a smart mirror can be used globally in areas that don't facilitate education. The idea is if there's a smart mirror in most public areas for anyone to use no matter the wealth, life would be easier for those who want to learn by accessing the educational resources on the smart mirror. Anything that needs to be filtered out or identities of certain people that need to be saved can also be programmed into the smart mirror and be saved. This is just one way of thinking about the benefits of a smart mirror that will actually make an impact in your or someone else's life, but what are some other benefits? #programming #stem #technology
What are some of the challenges of becoming a data scientist?
I am a student who has passion for STEM. I am struggling to figure out which career path I belong to. I want a profession that is not boring and something I will love. I think I want to become a data scientist. #stem #technology
There's all thus buzz about STEM careers but I love sports especially basketball, how do those things go together?
I'd love to make lots of money and enjoy my job at the same time. My passion is for sports. If I don't play pro ball I want to work in some area of sports, my aunt keeps saying to give STEM a chance . It's interesting but I don't know what sports jobs relate to STEM. #engineering #science #stem #arts #k-12-technology
What is the difference between computer science and engineering in computer science?
I know I love computer science, but on many applications, it lists both of these as majors, with the distinction of computer science being in their arts school, and the latter in their engineering school #science #technology #stem

How do I build back my motivation?
At the beginning of the semester of college, I had much better habits and motivation. Alas, that didn't last very long. Now, I don't have any motivation. I'm constantly grasping concepts slower than my peers (I feel I'm behind in everything compared to my peers), I haven't done many extracurriculars because I bury myself in schoolwork and I run out of energy too fast, and I feel like I'm always going to be this forgettable person for the rest of my life (I'll never have any value). This semester has probably been the worst for my almost non-existent mental health. I feel lost. How can I feel "unlost"?
