Hey, I am a 14 right now about to be 15 and believe that I am ready for a job. But there’s like nowhere that’s hiring someone as young as me in my area so I was wondering if anyone knew of some jobs??

Finding mentors is a difficult task in and of its own, however maintaining and nurturing those relationships is in my opinion 10x more difficult.

How can I successfully build those relationships as a high school, but also assure that they are impactful?

A typical day in business usually includes checking emails, going to meetings, working on reports, solving problems, and helping the company run well. People often work with others and make decisions, then finish the day by planning for tomorrow.

I am the middle child of 5 and have seen my parents struggle often, I want to prepare myself as best as possible so I don't have to go though those same issues.

What is the best way to manage working and attending school? I am struggling with balancing my time for both. Is there anything I should change or anything that could be beneficial to know?

I am in 7th grade, 13 years old, In junior high, I love books, reading, helping children, and I also love animals. I am very artistic and always love to help

I'm mostly concerned that I am not pacing myself correctly for the future and that I will not be prepared enough for it. I'm mostly scared that I am not financially prepared enough for life after college.

I am a college student currently studying business administration and management. I am in my second year, and I like make sure I keep up with my grades. I really like the color pink and trying new things.

I recently landed my first job after months of applying to different places. A lot of people keep telling me that it will be easier to get jobs after I have previous work experience to put on my resume, is this true?

Understanding this will help me align my academic and professional goals with the qualities that matter most in this industry. #Fall25

I'm applying for as many scholarships as possible, though I'm still anxious about my financial future; I don't want to be buried in debt and interest!
