I like all kind of art and I am not sure if I want to major in design, or graphic art or visual art. There are so many different branches in the art field. I am not sure which would be best. #art #fine-art #fine-arts

I am looking into civil or industrial engineering. Could you tell me the main differences between the two?
I am divided between civil or industrial engineering. I don't know much about either besides what I am able to read online. Having information from someone who works closely between the two would be enlightening. #engineering #engineer #civil-engineering #industrial-engineering #industrial-engineer

How do I stay on top of homework and still get a proper amount of sleep?
This past semester has been, for lack of a better word, a nightmare. It is not the first semester where I have had to pull multiple all-nighters within the same week, but it has resulted in the most. I work hard in my classes to achieve nice grades, but sacrifice much sleep along the way. I...

How can I get my foot in the door?
This upcoming semester, I am fortunate to have a smaller course load than I've ever had. To compensate for the new, bigger blocks of free time, I feel that I should acquire a side job, other than the one I have at home. Getting a job at a child care center that is nearby would be preferable,...

I plan to major in Human Development and Family Science through North Dakota State University, as well as Elementary Education through Valley City State University. I have also considered possibly minoring in Special Education, would this be wise? #elementary-education

How do I find people who want to hire me to play music?
I am a saxophone player pursuing saxophone playing in college and wanting to make that my profession. It's very hard to find enough gigs to fill up one's time or get a desired income. How do I get the right people knowing who I am and what I can do for them. #music #networking #saxophone...

How do I best make sure I am understood and not argued with when I give instructions?
I was in a situation where someone was expecting me to pay them when I knew they weren't getting paid all along and I thought they knew too. We did not part as friends. How do I prevent more situations like this from happening where there is such a disconnect and misunderstanding? #music

I know getting into medical school is very competitive; generally is it better to go to a "lesser" undergraduate school and excel or is is better to go to a prestigious school and wind up in the middle of the pack?
It's a difficult decision to make, especially when you factor in cost, and scholarship availability in the more competitive schools. I have been going back and forth about trying to get into a more prestigious school for my undergraduate degree, realizing that I'll also have continuing costs...
