What areas of my strengths should i upskill or should i add more skill?
What I notice is that, i learn the gist of information when it is in a question and answer form, basically I excel in test-taking and I am great in process of eliminations in exams since I've been consistently get the high scores from those prof. ed subjects we take in my current course, elementary education. I can also somehow write essays and research rrl especially composing reflections since I love how i glue my thoughts and realizations. and I have good sense of communication skills since i am currently a student assistant in Admission. so the way i speak has a good tone and sounds welcoming (and i have an experience in hosting in one event) and i coached/taught those new interns in admission and i received a feedback from our Admission head that im good at teaching them. and now, im learning new language. not that im fully commit to it, but i spend at least even a 5 minutes to learn. but honestly, I want to learn more beyond that. I want to explore more in other field, like editing and doing creative stuff because i know there's a lot of potential in me and i used to edit pictures before like enhancing it etc. but i just dont have a day to allot to upskill due to prior commitments with school activities plus there are times that there aren't any opportunity to apply these skills outside the school. what do you suggest? and what essential skills should i learn when i start my career/job?

What careers are becoming less relevant because of AI?
And if your own field is shifting, how are you adapting? We are watching AI slowly reshaping industries, automating routine jobs, transforming how we work, and challenging long-held career paths. But that leads to a bigger question... What career paths should the next generation focus on if they want to stay relevant in the next 10–30 years?

Is an internship in an unrelated domain always better than no internship at all?
I am a freshman student pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Data Science. I'm currently working on developing my programming skills via various MOOCs and also doing personal projects so I can start applying to good internships related to my field of data science and machine learning in a few months. Our college placement cell is always offering "internships" to students, they are mostly in the categories of either sales related (where we have to call people and inform them about a particular product generating leads) or academic counsellor positions in various colleges in our vicinity. I am very introverted and these kinds of roles do not generally suit me and mostly just stress me out. So coming to my question, while I develop my skills for a proper data science related internship, are these other internships even valuable to pursue, or are they probably just a waste of my time which I could divert elsewhere? (like upskilling in data science areas, or maybe just relaxing to avoid potential burnout)
