How can I pursue a career that does not assure financial stability in the future?

I want to ask this question on behalf of some of my friends who are struggling with the same situation. These particular friends are unimaginably talented in the things they like to do. For example, one may excel in art and another may be superior in music. As you and I may know, finding work...

What role does competition play in your career?

Although I have not yet started a career, competition has arose to be a challenging factor as a high school student. I see myself trying to do the best that I can do in my classes, but once I see someone else doing a little better than me, I don't find myself trying to outpace the other. I have...

Should I choose the job I love or the job that makes me money?

Looking back at my 16 years of life, I would have never thought I would have to choose between doing what I love and making money. As a little girl, I always dreamed of being a teacher. I looked up to the agents of change at my school and appreciated all of the things they do for me and the...

In high school, is it better to take career-related classes or classes that are pretty unnecessary to your future but are fun for you?

In high school, classes are separated into core classes (main subjects like Mathematics, English, Science, etc.) and electives (classes outside a required curriculum like Creative Writing, Band, Ceramics, etc.). Electives may not seem that important because they are more of a "just because"...

What are the essential skills you need to possess when on the search for a job/career. How would I develop and practice these skills as a high school student?

Many have started their job/career lives during high school, whether it be a summer job or necessary part-time work during the school year. Many high school students have also gone out to look for a job, but have come back without a single "You're hired!". I would like to know if there are...

How do you gain experience when employers are only looking for workers with experience?

I had numerous experiences where my older brother, who is 20 years and old and going into his third year of college, would come home disappointed that the place he applied for previously did not accept him. Many of these places require outside experiences, but how is it possible to gain that...

Which is more important when choosing a job: salary or work-life balance?

As a high school student, I have many needs and wants throughout the school year. Obviously, I would have to financially support myself if many of my desires are a bit pricey or my parents are no longer supporting me financially (other than food, shelter, etc.) Is it better to take up a...

What are some ways a high school student is able to answer the age-old question: "What do I want to do for the rest of my life?"

I am a student going into my third year of high school, another year closer to college and choosing the career path I want to walk down. I have always wanted a career where I will be happy doing the work that I am doing. I never would want to force myself to do something that I would regret....

Would taking up a part-time job during the school year be too stressful on me? (Third-Year High School Student)

I am a student going into my third year of high school and was very interested in taking up a summer job to support my financial needs and wants. I was only looking for a part-time job that would last from July to August because I would be very busy in the start of the new school year (I...

How do the UK and US high school and college systems compare?

It is generally stated that the UK system is more disciplined while has more structure and the US system enforces more creative, personal, and "out of the box" thinking. However, is there any specific reason on system may be better than the other? #college #higher-education #secondary-education

When choosing colleges, should ranking be valued over opportunities and experiences.

I am currently in the process of applying to colleges, and will probably be studying business. Within business school rankings, RI am seriously considering two schools. However, business, in my opinion, is a very experience-based subject. I believe that despite your education quality and level,...

What design programs are most often used by engineers?

I am already proficient in the use of AutoCAD and SketchUp, and have some experience with SolidWorks. I was wondering if there were any other programs like them that I should try to learn how to use that would be helpful in the future. #engineer

As an engineer, how often do you have to find integrals and take derivatives when working on a project?

I am planning on becoming an electrical engineer. I am already pretty good at integrals and derivatives, but I wanted to know if they come up often or if it is more important to simply understand the relationships they show. #engineer
