I want to be a teacher and I don't know the best steps to do that or even the direction to take, all I know is that I have to go to college and get my Bachelors degree. So, is there anyone who can help guide me in the right direction?

What is the best way to approach someone for an internship

I have found a few companies that I would like to intern and possibly work at but they are not currently offering internships. I would like to approach them and see if they would be willing to let me intern or volunteer there.

Should you strive for a high paying occupation or what you like to do?

I really want to be a high school teacher, but my mom always tells me how they do not make enough money, and to go for something that pays more like a doctor. I have no interest in being in the medical field or law. What should I do?

Do you think in today's society it is hard for teachers to aid students in forming their individuality, due to the strict curriculum and standards that are placed on them?

I am asking this because I want to be a teacher, and i have asked teachers this very question. I have noticed this, not just in my school, but in many across the country, that teachers aren't given free range to teach what their education has provided them with. Instead, teachers are given...

If many jobs in the future (perhaps MOST jobs) will be replaced by machines and Artificial Intelligence, what should we be studying in college?

I read Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano" as well as several of his short stories that depict a future in which all "jobs" have been eliminated - machines do everything. The people who have meaningful work find their life has less meaning. They ask, "What are humans FOR?" So, I wonder what...
