Is it worth it to go to a less prestigious school because you know you could get nearly full tuition, even though you could get into a more prestigious school?

Is looking for a career in personal finance a good idea right now, or are there a lot of people looking for jobs like that making it hard to be successful in it?

I am #undecided in in my major and have been searching different career pathways. Personal finance seems like it could be a good fit, but a lot of people I know are majoring in it.

Industrial Engineering vs Mechanical Engineering?

I have a passion for Mechanical Engineering but I'm worried about keeping that passion as I progress through my career. I have heard that Industrial has even better pay and more demand nowadays. Thoughts?

Is there any advice you would give to a college student with regards to intro level, inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry?

I am considering a biology major or related major (i.e. microbiology, biochemistry) and I'm very nervous with regards to taking a chemistry course due to the fact that I struggled in chemistry during high school. I'm looking for some advice with regards to taking chemistry classes in college.
