How can I determine whether or not I should (or even want to) go to Law School?
I've been considering an education in law for years. Ever since I was little, my family would jokingly tell me that I would be a great lawyer because of my confidence in my public speaking and my love of healthy debate. As I grow older, I still receive the same feedback but with the addition of...
How important are extracurricular activities?
I'm an active member of several clubs, but I'm not a leader or president or anything. I want to build my resume, but I'm not exactly sure what stands out. The clubs I'm apart of are: Model UN, Forensics, FBLA and Science Club. (And I'm not participating to get into college, I'm doing them...
Should I focus on academics or extracurricular activities?
I will start a one year graduate program this fall. I am also active as a volunteer and leader in several organizations that match my interests and later career goals. If my academic responsibilities and my responsibilities due to my positions in these organizations conflict, can it make sense...
Pre-Law Studies

Is it better to wait a few years before going into graduate school?
In planning my future, I'm not sure as to whether it is best to just give myself time in the professional world before jumping back into school or if it's okay to do that. I want to know what is the best move for this. #graduate # #school
How do I convince my uptight parents to let me go to a university out of state?
I am the only daughter in my family. My family is very protective about my because of my gender, therefore I have some restrictions. I want to be able to study and work without my parents interfering so often. I also want to simply live my life and focus on my priorities without having someone...
Is there any benefit to getting a degree beyond a Bachelor's for a law enforcement career?
I want to eventually work my way up to become a Chief of Police in a large city, for example. I'm wondering if I need a Master's of any kind.

What specific jobs can a degree in sociology be used for?
My major is currently sociology and I absolutely love the subject. However, as I learn more about the major it does not seem to have a very specific job field. #sociology
Can I take only general education courses the first couple years of college?
I am unsure about what career I want and am currently debating between going into the education or medical field. I'm thinking about focusing on fulfilling the general education requirements first before going into any specific required classes. If this is possible, what classes should I take...
