Am I suppose to know what I want to do as soon as I graduate college?
There are many things that I desire and it is so tough for me to pick that very special one! Psychology has so much to offer and I am just lost in the middle. The options upon options never end. I feel as if I should definitely know what it is that I want to do once I graduate. I mean, I...

What is the proper way to dress for an interview?
I have had quite a few interviews in the past where I always wore a nice polo collard shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes. It was never anything different. However, now that I am graduating and taking on a "real professional" interview I guess we should say, do I need to change up my attire? Do...

I live in Bayville, New Jersey. I heard that jobs down here will pay less money than jobs further north near the Hoboken, Jersey City, NYC areas. Is this fairly true?
It really makes me wonder how this can be. I mean, its got to be common sense because further north means more people and more business. Personally, I would not want to change locations for work just for better income. People always tell me to go north because that is where the money is. I get...

Are you allowed to put any of your professors down as references for applying to job?
I have never actually asked any of my professors this question. To me it sure seems like a very good idea because they are the ones who see how dedicated you are, motivated, and willing you are to work. Not to mention all the effort and devotion you put into your grades. I hope that this can...

Is graduate school a lot harder than regular college?
I have heard from a numerous amount of people that graduate school is not harder than your regular college and/or university. Some people have told me that all it is is a lot more work and that it dives into specific content, which to my expectations does make sense because it is based strictly...

Will choosing a more populated and highly recognized school over one that is less unheard of matter for careers?
I was always so skeptic about where I wanted to go to school throughout high school. I didn't know whether to apply to a D1 school or a D3 school. Therefore, I made the decision to apply to both. Fortunately, I did get accepted to every school I applied to but just couldn't make up my mind as...

What is the best way to improve your public speaking skills?
Public speaking is basically my biggest fear in the entire world. I pretty much try dodging every obstacle possible when it comes to this topic. This is a strong phobia of mine that just eats away at me. If I were to practice speaking when I know I have a presentation or something big coming up...

Is there a better way to sort out many of the teenagers confusion, by letting them known about which areas they are good at and at which areas they are going to excel? This will give them a clear view about their future. #engineering #medicine #law #architecture #high-school #arts #politics...
