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?

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

Before applying to college, what should be mainly in my portfolio and why?

This question is being asked because as a student myself, I want to know what college admissions offices are mainly looking for. I want others to use this question as a resource so they know how to prepare themselves for college in the near future! #college-admissions #officer #admissions
