During high school, should I continue volunteering or get a job?
I am currently in high school and am an aspiring psychiatrist. Although there is a long way to go, I want to be as prepared as possible. I am aware that the cost of college and medical school is quite hefty and would like to tend to that as proactively as I can. However, is having money to pay for undergrad (at least) more beneficial than building a resume through volunteering? Simply put, money or experience? I'm all for getting experience and volunteering is a great way to gain it whilst advocating for causes I'm interested in. In an opposing manner, in today's world, you won't get very far without money. Any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance! #volunteer #medicine #college #experience #job

How do I best prepare myself to not only be an effective, professional, and successful worker but leader?
I'm currently unsure of what exactly I want to do in the future, but I have a heart for at-risk, underrepresented, vulnerable populations, preferably somewhere out of the country. This, however, is a rather broad umbrella topic and I hope to find that career for me through various opportunities and leadership roles. And I don't mean I want to be successfully financially, although that would be nice; success to means when you are happy with who you are, what you do, and bring happiness to people around you. I haven't quite figured out what I want to do but I'm hopeful! And in the meantime, I want to know how I can better foster my leadership style, how to maintain professionalism and how to be an effective leader and team player! #volunteering #volunteer #service #leader #veterans #homeless #outdoor #undecided
