I love school but I've learned that I hate being in the workforce. How can I be sure to get a job I will enjoy after I graduate?

I can't stay in school forever. I graduate with my MFA (yes, I'm going for specialization), but I'm worried that after I'm specialized, I still won't be able to find a job I enjoy. #workforce #career #career-advising #finding-a-major #passion

Is it a good idea for me to be in a Dual Degree program?

I want to study engineering, but the school I want to go to only has a dual degree program. Will it make a different if I get two degrees compared to one? #engineering #college-major

What is the best approach to handling loans?

Not only in regards of getting them. Are they available elsewhere, apart from the colleges themselves? Interest? What would be the best way of repaying them?
