I could use some ways to build professional connections. I recently made a LinkedIn account--but, is this site really effective at building connections? #college #career #resume #networking #linkedin #job-application #personal-development
How do I go to a college as a non-degree seeking student?
After I graduate (with a Bachelors and Masters Degree), I need to re-take a few courses and take a few new ones to prepare for my next applications. But, how does one go to a 4 year college as non-degree seeking? Is the admissions process the same as undergrad? Do I have to apply or do I just...
What are some 'remote' jobs college students can do to build skills?
I have noticed that there are a lot of remote jobs available nowadays, like freelance writing or helping out with data. Are these jobs good to build resume skills? If I don't have time for a full-time job, could these be useful for cash and testing professional skills? #college #career...
What steps can I take to raise money for a cause?
I am very passionate about certain environmental and wildlife conservation causes. I have a few in mind that I would really love to start a charity for, but how would I go about this? How do I raise money and put together a 'campaign'? Are there any legal things I should know about? #college...

How do I know if studying abroad is for me?
I have never traveled alone or been away from my family for more than a few weeks. However, I love to travel and I am considering getting a degree in Europe or Australia. These programs are also so much cheaper than USA programs and have less requirements. Yet, I am worried that I might feel...
How do you propose the idea of an independent study with a professor you don't know?
I have an area of interest that builds off of a specific subject matter that a professor teaches. The issue is he only teaches one class on that topic, and I have taken it already (a few terms ago). I would like to ask that professor to do an independent study class with me to build on this...

How do you make a good impression when volunteering?
Where I volunteer is a pretty impersonal place. I just go in unnoticed and barely get acknowledged by any staff. I understand that the staff is both busy and tired (this is an animal ER). I don't want to interrupt them, but how can I make good relations? The program offers letters of...
Did you choose your career path for money or because it was your passion?
