I'm going to community college to earn an associate of science and then plan on transfering my credits to a 4-year but I don't want to waste my time on classes that won't transfer.

Hi guys, So this question is probably the question that many people ask, but one difficulty I have is choosing a major that fits me best. What I want to do most with my life is help people around me in any way that I could, so I am debating on a Psychology major or a registered nurse both...

I have always wanted to become a writer since I was young. My parents and others have told me that a writer does not earn much, so I am planning to write at home while taking up other part-time jobs. However, I would need a lot of motivation to keep up with my dream and not be consumed by my...

I attend a high school with 300 students total and this makes me jealous of students that attend a bigger high school than mine. Because of this, I would like to go to a farther college and live on campus to experience the full offer of college. However, I am torn because my parents require my...

This is a question that does not necessarily have a concrete answer, but it is one I constantly ponder nonetheless. My father did not go to an expensive school and regrets it, I believe, because he wonders if his college experience may have been better at a more elite school. As I try to make...

I hope to study cultural anthropology and journalism, so travel is absolutely crucial to my success professionally and as a student. I hope to travel to Africa (where I want to focus my studies) as well as Europe simply because I am fascinated by the continent and diverse cultures that serve as...

I have a part-time job and I'm commuting from home to college (so that's helped a lot), but I'm still trying to save for additional costs and even the next year.

I ask because I have terrible study habits (namely me cramming the night before and even then not really studying like I should). I'm trying to find habits that will help me when I get to classes in college.

I’m currently enrolled in college to get a certificate on Administrative Assistant but I’ve seen the job postings and mostly all of them say Masters or they need previous experience. Would I need to get an Associate in Administrative Assistant?

I am currently in between a few possible career options. How easy/hard is it to get a good paying job as an architect right out of college? How easy/hard is it to get a good paying job in the marketing field? How easy/hard is it to get a good paying job in the engineering field? #architecture...

As a #computer-science major in UIC, my many assignments and study hours result in very little time for anything else, including hobbies and sleep. I was wondering whether that is going to change once I have a job, or not.
Similarly, does work give stress as college does?

I love taking photos and I own a DSLR camera. I want to learn more editing techniques, especially on Adobe Photoshop. I am looking to own the program, but it looks like it is a yearly fee now. I am wondering if there is a way that I can just own the product totally, and what tools I can use to...

I am planning to work in the #computer-science sector after graduation, but I lack knowledge on what actual employees do on-site daily. When looking for this answer, I often see descriptions such as "computer engineering" or "software developing", but these doesn't paint the picture for me as...

I've just begun a new semester at UIC after Christmas break. Being a #computer-science major, I've had quite a difficult time catching up with my schedule for the past several semesters. Now I want to do things a bit differently. I want to be ahead so that it doesn't become too tight for me...

Studying #computer-science at UIC is a lofty ordeal indeed. Me and my classmates spend long hours and days completing arduous assignments, learning dense material, and studying for exams. Meanwhile, other majors require less effort and time, while still others require more. This leaves me...

I know that my education is going to be very costly and that over the four years it will take to get my degree I will become massively in debt. I plan on becoming a biomedical engineer, so I know I(eventually) will be making pretty good money, but I'm worried that all my efforts after I...

Do you think one way would be to visit your high school in the future and encourage students to go to college, reach opportunities, apply to fun clubs, etc? I truly want to give back to my school community, and I really have appreciated the role that my teachers play in my life. I know I...
