How hard was it to go from knowing nothing to learning about Computer Science?

I don't know much about the field other than a very VERY basic understanding and I'm worried I never will. #science #computer

How can I choose field of work that'll assure me that I'll enjoy the rest of my life working?

I am still very young, sixteen years of age, and there is yet anything that sparks my interest in terms of vocation. I'm constantly hearing that every individual inhabits a special talent, perhaps I've yet to find mine, but how can I be certain that eventually I will? This thought constantly...

Is it common for medical students to enter the medical field and have a nervous reaction to the sight of blood (blood phobia)?

I was accepted into a nursing program which begins at the end of August and am dead set on overcoming the fear. I believe that maybe with enough exposure, you become de-sensitized to it?? #medicine #nursing

Is working for an NGO or a Government entity more useful for helping enact a positive change and gain practical experience?

In the field of environmental science, how relevant will a Ph.D or Master's degree be?

I just finished my undergraduate career and will be entering into a Master's program this fall (2016). I am attempting to figure out whether a Master's degree is sufficient to begin a career or if it would be better to persue a Ph.D immediately after the graduate program. I know it's a little...

What is the next big thing after touch screens?

Recently I've been seeing post and articles including pictures of holograms and devices where a touch of a fingertip is not necessary for it work. The touch screen was a big step ahead from the previous button touching but how much more can technologists push? I would like to be an innovator...

Is having a very specific career goal putting to many limitations on my future?

Becoming a video game developer is all I've ever wanted to be. I'm concerned that being so specific will limit my options down the road. Should that not pan out, I worry about what other careers will I be qualified for. I want to have something to fall back on. #career-path #guidance-counselor...

I was raised to always take care of your family no matter what, but my family members want me to go to college and get a degree that I will be able to use to earn money and have a stable life. I am conflicted on what would be a better choice to make if I ever had to choose between one of these...

I am debating on whether to study teaching or psychology. I know that if I put my mind to it I can do which ever one, but how can I come to a conclusion on which major to focus on when I love helping others?

I am a senior in high school and I have always loved helping and putting others before me. With having to help out in the house as well as my siblings, helping is second nature to me and it is something that I excell at. I really want to have a profession in which I could help others with...
