I am interested in fire science. Are there any professionals willing to share their experience on how they became a firefighter?
My grandfather was chief fire inspector for the state of Hawaii. He was really good at what he did. I heard most of the stories from my father, who would tag along during the days of his youth. My father even regretted not going into the fire department. I've heard about the benefits in working...
For physical therapists.. to go into programs accredited by CAPTE, would schools consider choosing students who've gotten health related majors?
I'm looking into physical therapy. The CAPTE programs in universities like San Francisco and Sacramento don't have any references on what majors would work well for the student. I'm not confident yet if I want to go on this field, but it would help. #physicaltherapy #college-recruiting
What teachers should we communicate with for letters of recommendations?
I’ve always felt that some subjects are noted beneficial than others and have always wondered if the subject that the teacher taught had any influence on colleges choices.? #recommendation #college #college-admissions

Does research fulfill the need for creativity?
I'm really deep into art as a hobby, but lately, I've been thinking about it more seriously the more people compliment me. I'm not sure I want to get rid of my plan to go into Biomed or pharmaceutical research, so I thought to ask about how they would really differ in terms of creative...

Why don't admissions officers tell students why they were rejected?
I have been receiving my college acceptance (and sadly, rejection) letters lately. I understand that admission officers have to read literally thousands of applications but it hurts to not know why you weren't selected for their school. There are students out there getting rejected by their...
Honestly, what is college like?
What is a typical college day like? What do you do? I have some friends who love their college experience and others hate it. I want a holistic but honest idea of college. I am looking forward to it but I just want to know. Everyone's experience is different but I'd still like to know....
On my college application, can I list things I accomplished prior to high school?
I am going to apply for colleges by the end of the year. I have a lot of things I can talk about prior to high school because I was an immigrant and I did a lot back then in another country. I hope I can put those on my college application so then the people can understand me more. #college...
What is an average day like for a psychologist and how demanding will this job be in the future.
For most of my colleges, I chose to major in psychology. Although I have a broad understanding of the topic, I have considered perhaps becoming a psychologist one day as I enjoy working with people and helping others out. But I have a very basic idea of what a psychologist does because how...
On average, how many times do people change their career?
As an upcoming freshman to #college, I still don't know what I want to do, and sometimes I fear in the future that whatever I will be doing isn't what I actually want to be doing. But if I get a degree in a job I no longer want to pursue, then what will come out of my future. Sometimes I just...
Is it advisable to pay $50,000+ a year for college since the chances of making that annual salary directly after college is slim?
I have recently been accepted to one of my top choices for school, but unfortunately the annual tuition is over $50,000 a year. I would rather not have to take out loans and start my working career in debt. #tuition #education

After applying to universities as a transfer student, how long does it usually take for schools to get back to you?
I applied to many schools before December 2017 as a community college transfer student. I sent my fall 2017 transcripts to these schools back in January and I still have not heard back from four of them, so I'm just wondering how long it should take on average. #college #transfer-admissions
