I've been thinking about paleontology lately and am considering if I should try and focus on that for college.

I am a senior in high school right now, but I feel extremely drawn to the field of psychology and mental health treatment. How do I know I have what it takes to be a psychiatrist? What types of characteristics do psychiatrists need to have to be successful?

I am split between a career involved with computer science/IT and a career involved with graphic design. I want to be able to make a 6 figure salary, as I live in an area with a high cost of living, but I also want a career i'll enjoy. I like the idea of either career path/majors but i'm...

I have no idea what I'm doing and am in dire need of help. I don't feel strongly about any career choice that is financially viable, so I'm clueless.

I am really interested in the field of mental health and psychology. I know psychiatrists can prescribe medication while psychologists can't, but is there any other major difference between the two careers? Is it worth the 4 years of medical school just to be able to prescribe drugs, or is...

I want to apply for a school-year internship at a medical facility (or healthcare adjacent program) and I am having a hard time finding opportunities for THIS school year.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

For context, this isn't urgent because it hasn't happened yet. I just want to know what to do when I choose one college over another when both have already accepted me. Do I send the loser a rejection letter? Do I just not show up in the fall?

I'm an overachieving high school senior. I've contacted representatives and senators using the official template multiple times, but received no reply. I understand they are busy people and that they receive thousands of these letters, but I'd really like to get accepted. Advice?
