Hello CareerVillage community! I'm currently a college student in my second year. I'm about to complete my fourth semester at my public school, where I'm pursuing a BFA in Studio Art, concentration in Graphic Design. I just declared my major as Graphic Design, but the program that I am in is...

I don't like studying but I do study, it just feels to me like it's not helping me in one of my classes and that's the class I need the most. How can I improve my studying techniques and be better?#studies #studying-tips

I really want to be all these. They are my goals in life but I also don't want to abandon my children by traveling too much or not being a good mother to them. How can I balance all these goals?#college-advice #medicine #pediatrics #dance #martial-arts #career-choice #career-counseling

As a senior in high school taking #graphic-design, at times making thumbnail sketches seems monotonous and time consuming. In the "real world", I assume it is emphasized.

I am taking the test next year and I am looking for some good ways to prepare for it. #SAT #testing #college-admissions #studying-tips #personal-development

I want to be a pediatric oncologist but I also want to travel and see the world, is this still possible? Thanks! #medicine #pediatriconcology #doctor #vacation

50-70% of students change their majors at least once. Among 2,134 workers, 32% said they have never worked in a field related to their major. I was wondering, what lead you to choose your career and how are you different from the next person in the same career? #career #choices

When you look around, some of your friends own expensive while you look on the other hand, and they could barely support a meal.

When you are at your senior year, classes get easier and workloads just decreased. However, when I sat in the car alone, staring at the school. Wondering what was the whole point, after struggling for 3 years, there's a leap relaxation. And after that, you do it all again with college and...

I want to be in a cyber-security team for the US government serving in one of the intelligence branches (CIA, DoD, DIA, FBI, NSA, etc.) and I want to know which one would be best for me. If possible, I'd like to stay in a local area and not have to move to one location (I live in Arizona and...

I'm really thinking about majoring in Computer Science (Information Assurance) and going into a government agency like FBI, CIA, DIA, DoD, or any of the other like-minded branches. What's it like? How different is the public sector in this career from the private sector? Would you switch to...

For most of my life, I’ve been a pretty good student. People always expected me to get into Ivy League but I went to SUNY instead. The work load is easy for me but after getting severe depression and anxiety, my grades have plummeted and I lost all my financial aid after appeal. I feel like...

I don't want to get into a profession where I don't like the environment I'm working in. I rather know what it feels like before I enter the profession.

I have noticed when applying to large companies (nationals or multinationals for example) that it seems you cannot both be involved in technical work (deep mathematics, physics, or engineering) and have a role in management. It seems that the two branch off rather early and because I like the...

This is my major and I'll be graduating soon. One of the reasons I originally chose this was because I always liked math and physics, but I wanted to make sure I could use those skills to help people, but lately I've seen this field as more of putting up high rises and luxury condos for people...

#college-transfer It is so a dainty task to transfer from one school to another with all the paperwork involved. Schools should make it easier for students to do so. They always make the transfer students feel like freshmen right out of high school instead of professional students with experience!

#college I am having difficulties balancing it all with work life, family life, and school life. I am a perfectionist and I tend to focus a lot on school leaving behind family and friend time. You know the time to socialize should be important too, but I seem not to able to do so, too little...

I am interested in started a job in my new career as soon as I am able. I am interested in an internship in #Accounting.

I will be returning to college to take accounting courses. Wanted to know what to expect once I am finished? Or even sooner. Will there be openings in #accounting?

Hi! I ask this question because as a highschool senior, I wonder how independent the graduate school application process truly is. I understand graduate students usually receive far less scholarships than highschool students, but are there ways around that? Also, did the application process...

I live alone with no support, first time in college. I work hard and try everything that I can do to better myself. My #life lesson is still pending to me.

As a college student, the transition to the workforce is happening really soon. Since I will have to do many interviews, what soft skill or quality should I make sure I have in order to make myself as hirable as possible? #interviews #jobs #computer-science #professional-development #stem...

I'm a computer science major and I constantly hear about new strategies, programming languages, and technologies that are supposed to be the next big thing. It would be impossible to keep up with all of them, but, in order to stay up to date, how do I tell which new thing is the best to invest...

I'm South Asian, muslim, and a woman, and so far I've not experienced a lot of sexist or racist treatment, but I expect I'll run into it eventually. Is there any ideology I should keep in mind, or any resources I should look into?

Ever since I was a kid, I was constantly stuck between wanting to be an artist, a writer, or a scientist. There must be some way to have all these things in my life, but I'm not really sure since I want to be a microbiologist or parasitologist. #biology #biotechnology #molecular-biology...

I've been offered an internship in an IT company that is not relevant to my major of Electrical Engineering. Should I accept it or look for something else? #internships

I have the option of finishing college in only 3 years instead of 4 but I am getting a mix of options from that. My parents believe college should just be to go in and get out as fast as you can, but alumni and other adults say i should take the 4years to really live out my time and not rush...

As im approaching the end of my high school years, ive been trying to get opportunities to find scholarships but it seems to be very hard. As student who has a low income it is important for me to be able to get as many scholarships as I cant get. I woukd appreciate to have some suggestions in...

As I was going throught my hign school years more ideas on how I wanted to help the environment and us as humans kept coming to my mind. However, as time went by I found myself lock down with two many options and not being able which to choose. Yes, many people haved told me to worry about this...

Hi! I am a high school senior set on becoming a "pure mathematician." Ever since I learned the proof to the quadratic formula in 10th grade, I have been chasing abstract mathematics and working to improve my problem-solving skills. Less than a year ago, I came across a very interesting problem...

I'm not particularly rich... I'm most definitely getting a job to start making money when I get to college. But homework and studying sounds rough. How do you make friends in between that? Will I get the chance to join any clubs or will I be locked up in my dorm either doing homework or, I...
