For lawyers and psychologists, what are some things you wished you knew when you first started your career, and how does your job deviate from your initial expectations?

Hi! I'm interested in law and psychology. I know the media likes to glorify/stereotype certain jobs, and I'm wondering how reality differs from expectation.

SHOULD YOU FOLLOW YOUR PASSION OR GO FOR A STABLE JOB?

Hi. I am a 10th standard cbse student in India. I like History and Geography and Social Science subjects in general. But as expected, my parents are worried. They want me to study science and maths, two subjects I despise or computer. I can't imagine handling someone's life as a doctor and can't even think about studying physics and maths for engineering.I really want to follow my passion. I don't have my entire life planned out to give them a proper speech and I don't think that's possible because life is unpredictable. I also think that I do way better in Social Science than in science or maths. I get 78-80 marks out of 80 for social science but for science and maths I only get around 50-68. I am really tired of getting lectured non stop. I get it that they want me to have a stable life but it's draining my hope in life. I am an only child and don't have anyone to share this with because pretty sure my Bestfriend is tired of my trauma dumping. I hope someone can provide me with support and advice here. I know my parents are just worried about and I feel guilty about sharing this here but I really don't have a choice. Note: My parents are nice but I think they are just worried and disappointed lol.

I don't know how to explain, but when I got to the maiden high school today, I noticed a website was blocked. I don't know why, but there's something going on.

Can you tell me why Lincoln was blocked? It confused me and kind of pissed me off. Today is a stressful day. I wouldn't say I like today. This is a serious emergency code help.

Can you help me find a suitable career?

I am confused about choosing between Creative & Design-Oriented Careers and Analytical & Data-Oriented Careers. As a high school graduate, I was completely unsure of what to pursue, so I opted for a CS major. Later, I realized I have no interest in Java, C++, or Operating Systems. However, if I were forced to choose my favorite programming languages after three years, they would be R and Python. My favorite subjects remain Statistics and Math. Here are a few things about me: 1. I have been good with numbers since childhood. 2. I am naturally good at drawing, with a steadier hand than most people I’ve seen sketching or drawing. I’ve never put effort into improving my drawing skills, yet I am better at it than most. 3. I love creating spaces. Although I am not an architect, I constantly think about how I would design a building, house, or neighborhood if I were one. I want to follow my passion, but I also want to earn a handsome income. My current path doesn’t feel right to me—it’s like I’m just trying to fit in, and I never feel motivated to work hard for it. I don’t know where to start or what skills to learn that would complement my future career goals. People often advise me to learn skills and excel at them, but I’m not sure which skills align with my interests and aspirations.

How beneficial is job shadowing?

I'm an 11th grade student in B.C Canada and many of my older friends in school talk about job shadowing in the field they would like to go into. Essentially my question is would job shadowing be beneficial for a high school student or is it more intended for post-secondary students? If it's ok for high school students, is it any different from applying to a job or do I have to email places if they allow job shadowing?

As an over-thinking college senior, how will I know when I've found the right career for me?

I know some say it takes trial and error, perhaps even pivoting. But is it a feeling, a lingering excitement after a few months on board? How will I know there isn't something better out there?
