Why do people usually not end up with the job they planned to have in college?
I see all the time people talking about how after college they got jobs that correlate to their major (Or sometimes it's completely different), but it was not the job they were aiming for.
What are some of the best ways to set yourself apart from others when looking to enter the workforce as a student right out of high school?
Ill be attending the University of Central Florida and I am thrilled to have the opportunity of working in the area of Orlando as it's one of the fastest growing areas of the US. I just don't know what I should be doing now to better prepare myself.
How should I prepare for the work force?
Do I cram for interviews or prepare in a different way?

Do extracurricular activities during college really matter after graduating college? (i.e. in the workforce)
Does being a president of a student organization related to one's major at college matter 10 years after graduating college? Or is it just a sign of overachievement during college? (Apologies if these questions come across as offensive, I am genuinely curious about their answers. Thank you!) #college #career #workforce
What are ways to increase your changes of being accepted to four year colleges, despite being from a low income area?
Another question I have is how can I stand out to colleges while being from a low income area that, to me, seems to limit my opportunities? I have had personal experiences losing great opportunities due to where I am from. #college #high-school #low-income-area #workforce #steam #stem #science #technology #engineering #math #forensics #pharmaceuticals #medicine #space-exploration #space #planetary-science #astrophysics #astronomy #career #advice
What are the challenges I may face pursuing a career in science, and how can I stand out among the rest?
For my first two years in high school I have been studying biotechnology and I have been working diligently in preparing myself for college and the workforce. Though I have not decided on an exact career, I am deeply considering one within forensics, pharmaceuticals, or in the space exploration fields. What are some of the challenges students may face when applying for college, throughout college, and in the workforce?

Is there still age discrimination in the workforce?
I have read that for people over 50 it is hard to find a job. What are the chances of me finding a good job after graduation based on my age? #discrimination, #experiencevsyouth #experience #workforce #environment
I love school but I've learned that I hate being in the workforce. How can I be sure to get a job I will enjoy after I graduate?
I can't stay in school forever. I graduate with my MFA (yes, I'm going for specialization), but I'm worried that after I'm specialized, I still won't be able to find a job I enjoy. #workforce #career #career-advising #finding-a-major #passion
What are some tips you can give to someone who is job interviewing and the person who is doing your interview is two times younger then you and you sense that the age difference is not an issue for you but seems to make the interviewer uncomfortable?
I have been within the work force for some time; 30 years to be exact; I am running into interviewers that are younger and find themselves thrown by interviewing me. The 80/20 rule of interviewing goes out the window and they seem to do all the talking like they are the ones selling themselves. I want to find a way to put them at ease and show them I might be older however there is a great deal I can learn and that I want to do just that. #learningeverstops #interviewing #workforce #80/20rule #tips #atease
Is it more logical to go to college first or workforce?
