I am a 2018 high school graduate on a gap year. I am using my time away from school to apply for more aid and really getting to myself as well. As I try to find scholarships, I notice most are for those who are seniors in high school and graduating in 2019. I have gotten lucky with some,...

I’m going to begin #onlinecourses in a few days and I’m not sure how I will stay on top of them. I have to get through 20 courses within the next 12 months, and have 8 weeks to complete each course. My question is, how do I stay on top of the work and receive good marks? #motivation...

One of my career goals is to become an Assistant Property Manager but it seems difficult to apply for a job in this position or at least get a job as an administrative assistant in this field and work your way up. #management #business #job-search

Usually the purpose of going to college is to get educated in order to qualify for some sort of job/interest you have. However how long did it take to get employed in your field? #job #job-search #career #college

As of lately I have been really interested into business in terms of a possible major. However I know nothing about what you could do with a business degree. I was thinking of being a hedge fund manager but I would like to know what steps do I take to position myself to have enough experience...

Hello! For my school's graduation requirement, I have to have 15 hours of career exploration. I know that I want to be a psychologist or do something in the psychology field, but those jobs are usually very confidential. What should I do? If I cannot do that, I am also very interested in other...

Hello, I am an aspiring electrical engineer and I want to do EE because I enjoy it. My main concern is that electrical engineering jobs aren't hands on. I have heard from multiple people that the majority of the jobs are just sitting at a desk all day. Also, is EE in Boston viable? To me, it...

I'm a high school senior #scholarships

I really want to pursue this career because I am very interested in healthcare and just helping others. I know it's not an easy journey. I gotta keep my grades up and get some healthcare experience under my belt before I even consider applying to grad school. #career-counseling

i get like super anxious sometimes and i start making up possible scenarios for situations and i just drive myself crazy #life

Another question I have is how can I stand out to colleges while being from a low income area that, to me, seems to limit my opportunities? I have had personal experiences losing great opportunities due to where I am from. #college #high-school #low-income-area #workforce #steam #stem #science...

For my first two years in high school I have been studying biotechnology and I have been working diligently in preparing myself for college and the workforce. Though I have not decided on an exact career, I am deeply considering one within forensics, pharmaceuticals, or in the space exploration...

For example, does a student applying from the best high school in the state he or she lives in has a higher chance of being admitted into the college she/he wants than a student that comes from a normal high school (a school with no rankings)? #high-school #high-school-students #school #student...

I read that medical schools look for students that take classes that stand out from the usual classes that med school applicants take. How accurate is this? #medical-school #medicine

I feel like getting a degree isn't enough to get a job. You actually have to know where to look if you want a job in the degree you graduated from. #college #jobs #job-search

I find it really hard to make a budget. #saving #budget

I'm entering my freshman year of high school and was thinking about trying to get into an Honors College. Is the extra work on my gpa to get into an Honors College worth possibly not having as many extra curricula's on my resume? #HonorsCollege #highschool #freshman #gpa

A dream of mine is to attend the College of Charleston and major in business. I want to be able to know what my plan is to achieve being a business owner, but first, I need to know what I want my business to be! #business #majors #entrepreneur #CofC #SouthCarolina

Currently I am split between business (economics) and biomedical science in terms of career paths to pursue. When I tell others this they say business goes well with everything so I should double major. Being in high school I have no idea the rigor of attaining a degree for a major. That being...

Being young it is easy to say you want to be a doctor, but with little to no exposure it’s hard to know if you’re cut for it. How does one know that they should attend medical school if they are unsure before they get into college?

So I initially wanted to be a child psychologist but so far I've been hearing that a career in psychology isn't as good as you'd expect it to be. Can you get a good job with a Bachelor's degree from it? #career #psych
