What job can I get as an 18 year old who is currently taking my gap year interested in mental health? I want to get experience in the mental health field.

I want to be a psychologist in the future. I can’t seem to find anything near me or have many ideas of what I could do.

I’m interested in general mental health and mental health for those with OCD. Any ideas of where to start?

What is the best part of being a PA? Will all of my hard work translate into a job that I love going to every day? I wonder how successful I would be as a PA?

I am a senior in high school. I attend a program through my school that allows me to do clinical rotations. I am interested in pediatric care, but I don't necessarily like aspects of nursing. I wonder if I should be a biology major or a nursing major, though.

I’m a med student, and I’ve made up my mind that any spare time I have, I want to put effort into my other passions — filmmaking, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. But saying it out loud now makes me wonder… will I even have space to just relax? I know my free time will be so limited, and I...
