How can I choose the right subjects when I'm still unsure about my future career?
I'm currently working on my International Diploma and have about two years before I head to college. As I review my curriculum, I’m realizing that my subject choices are starting to have a big impact on my future career options. I’m interested in several areas — biotechnology, social entrepreneurship, international relations, and other life or social sciences. But because these fields are so different, I’m struggling to figure out which subjects will give me the most flexibility and leave the most open doors. To anyone working in these or related fields: Which subjects do you use the most in your career? Are there any you thought would be important but rarely use now? Are there any myths or assumptions people make about your profession that are simply untrue? And most importantly — what part of your career gives you the most satisfaction? Any advice or personal experiences would really help me as I try to find some direction. Thank you so much!

How do I start my career in technology?
I graduated with a bachelors in information technology of August 2024. For a couple of years I’ve been struggling to look for jobs in general, especially since I started my degree. I have done everything that I could imagine. I’ve been to a couple of career fairs, I have tailored and revised my résumé several times, I’ve tried to talk with hiring managers and even tried to prepare for interviews with no luck. I think I have applied to over 1000 applications over the past couple of years. Since 2023, I’ve had two unpaid fraudulent internships, I’ve had a few interviews, but they never made it to the second or third round and jobs either ghost me or end up being ghost jobs. At this point, I don’t know what else I can do. If anyone has any advice or can offer any jobs that would suit me, I would appreciate that. I’m looking for jobs that are mostly entry-level.

How do I determine which major or career path to explore for college or university?
Currently, I am a freshman and will be a sophomore after the summer. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life—what job I want to have and what career I want to pursue—but I feel a bit stuck. I've explored a variety of activities; I participated in a sport, took an introductory dance class, and plan to join the intermediate dance class next year, along with folklórico. Sometimes, I feel like I'm all over the place. I also want to join the California Scholarship Federation (CSF) next school year and participate in other clubs as well. This year, I took sophomore math instead of regular 9th-grade math or honors. I found the class to be somewhat slow. I'm unsure if I should return to honors math or if it will be too challenging for me. Additionally, I enrolled in 3-D art because I used to enjoy making small crafts. I currently have a weighted GPA of 4.0, with A's in all my classes, including some A+ grades and maybe some A-'s or just A's. Given this information, what majors might be a good fit for me? What UC schools could I potentially attend? What is the acceptance rate for those schools?

Which Career Path, Major, & Industry Should I Go Into?
Hello! I’m a high school student preparing to apply to college very soon. I’ve spent the past four years fully immersed in business and marketing—I’ve worked as a marketing intern, served as a state officer for Business Professionals of America, and received multiple awards in the field. I would also say I have a talent for it as I am very creative and business minded. However, recently I’ve experienced a shift. I’ve been deeply drawn to advocacy—especially in supporting underserved communities, advancing youth education globally, and championing women’s rights and access to resources. It feels like this is what I’m truly meant to do, and I want to take that passion to a professional level. I’ve started looking into careers in law, policy, and even advocacy-focused marketing, but I’m still uncertain about the right direction to pursue in college. As someone who’s navigating this transition, I’d be so grateful for any advice you could offer—whether on combining these interests or exploring pathways that align with my purpose.

If and when you acquired your “dream” job after graduation, what would be your first words of advice to future college students looking to secure a degree to find stability and good pay with a job in their field? #spring25
If I did find my perfect job in my field of Medical Billing & Coding after graduation, the first advice or personal experience I would give anyone else considering a college career would be: It is never too late. I am 36 years old. If you ask yourself, Is it worth it? The answer is Yes. I have made it out of several “close call” relationships with abusive partners. I want to say, fight for what you want, even if you're not sure of yourself. If I am doing this, and anyone can. Furthermore, I know it may sound so generic, but in all truth, all I have ever wanted was a happy, secure life, and within the last 15 years or so, I have learned there is no happy or secure life without financial security.
