What categories of ISEF or other research competitions do you recommend doing if majoring in business? Which category is least competitive? Do you recommend a mentor/professor to guide me? If so, how and where would I find one?

High School student. I know business has really nothing to do with science, but it's still good to do a research project, right? Interested to anything, just don't want to do a category that is too competitive. Thank you!

What skills and experiences should university students highlight on their resumes to become successful school counselors, and what challenges should they prepare for when entering this profession?

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Education (Guidance and Counselling) in Malaysia. As part of my Career Development course, I am exploring the real-world experiences of professional school counselors and learning how to prepare an effective resume for this career. I would appreciate advice from experienced school counselors regarding the essential skills, relevant experiences, professional qualifications, and common challenges in this field. I am particularly interested in understanding how university students can demonstrate their communication, empathy, leadership, and counseling-related skills through their resumes, even if they have limited professional work experience. Your insights will help me better understand the profession and develop a career-focused resume that reflects the expectations of the counseling field.

Six years in IT seriously considering a new career. What options might fit what I am looking for??

I have a BS in IT and Six years of experience. Currently doing tech support. Not wanting to specialize in tech. Honestly wanting to leave the field most days. Been taking a lot of time considering my options. Project/program coordination, business analysis, training and development, disability/accessibility related work, along with other options. I've considered everything from project/program coordination and business analysis to disability employment services and healthcare-related careers. I don't feel fulfilled in my work, and I want to change that. I'd like to do something that makes me feel that my work is helping people and contributing to something I believe in. I'm thinking healthcare, government, higher edu, non-profits, instead of corporation/enterprise. I've considered things that would be so different like Rad Tech, PTA, Vision rehab, and other jobs that help people. Yet, I have to be realistic. I can't really afford to start completely over. I'm married, my income is important to our household, and I need to make at least $53K in a career change. Ideally, I'd like to eventually reach $65–70K. I currently make $58k. I'm not opposed to additional education or certifications, but I can't stop working to attend school full-time or end up with a lot of school loans, and I'd rather not spend years chasing technical certifications just to remain competitive in IT. I'm trying to figure out what realistic career paths might allow me to use my existing experience while moving into something more fulfilling. There are two sides to my desire for change. I have found to enjoy things that are more related to Coordination and business analysis work, yet at the same time have considered something that would be more hands on helping people. An example of coordination. In my current role my boss wanted our team (mainly me) to checked every user in Active Directly and make sure their job titles and departments where correct by comparing to UKG. I thought that sounded insane. I suggested grabbing reports from both AD and UKG and then using excel to compare. I really enjoy the process of suggesting a solution and working with different teams to get the information. I did enjoy bits of the excel work, but once I started getting more technical with the actually work of it I didn't enjoy that as much. Reminded of my last job. I was a sole tech at a highschool. They didn't have a ticketing system. I really enjoyed the process of researching what would fit and working with our staff on what would work. However, actually implementing it wasn't as fun. At the same time I have a big heart for people who need assistance and sometimes wonder if I would even care about the whole research aspect of work, if I was able to do something completely different like PTA or disability/accessibility related work. Well actually... isn't is similar? Instead of technical solutions, people solutions. Or maybe technical solutions that are more tied to helping people. What might work for something dealing with this disability, injury etc? Anyways, when I sit back and face reality I am not sure what options I have. What would be best for me. And if I was given recommendations, how I would even go about breaking into it. I value job demand and I get concerned over competition as well. Any advice would be great.

What job suits me best?

Im trying to find a job that fits me best as I am a junior in high school right now, I have done some research but nothing seems to be helping. I learn best with hands on activities and ect and I'm incredibly good with instruction, the jobs I have seen so far is "plumbing", or "electrician." but neither of those are in my interest. I need some serious help as I also have no clue what I am doing right now looking for colleges and not even knowing where I want to go to college or what I want to do.

Questions about psychology and psychologists.

So I'm debating on what I want to study after high school (in grade 11) and have recently been interested in psychology. So I have a few questions: (All relating to South Africa) • Psychology: 1. Is Psychology a competitive field to get accepted into? 2. Is it worth getting into psychology in the long run? 3. Is it difficult to get placed to become a psychologist? 4. What do you learn about in University? • Psychologist: 5. Do psychologists get paid well? 6. Is it a safe job to do? (Regarding patients) 7. Is it hard to find a job after studying? 8. Is this job in demand? 9. What is the main component of the job? Note: I have researched this field and job a little- but got many different answers, and haven't done a full-on research session since I'm in the middle of exams, and will do when I'm done.
