Is it a good idea to go study in the US?
After I got a remote full time job(where I get my work done in about 20/30 hrs a week, but paid for 40) I was looking to go study in the US. Starting at Santa Monica college and then if needed transfer to UCLA, I want to work as an actor and writer in Hollywood but still have a good degree to fall back upon. So my plan was to double major in acting and a STEM career(like some engineering, since I am pretty good at math and physics having studied them at an Italian high school where I came from) Will this be a good idea? Will I be able to actually get hired in the US? will it be possible for me to start a acting career in LA this way(note I also already have a American accent and good proficiency in English), my biggest fear is not being able to find any jobs in the US and maybe if I stay here in Italy and get a degree here I will be able to get a secure job in Italy(even tho they ain’t paid good aka 40k year pretax as a ceiling, meaning that is the highest earning potential after years of experience). Tell me what you think

Would it be better to live in a city or somewhere quieter/ more rural for a job in biology?
I am only 16 but I am probably one of the least social people ever. I want to work in a lab doing biological research (partially for the lack of social interaction, but mostly for my love of biology). I love the idea of living in a small rural town where everyone knows everyone but I wonder if that will hinder my job opportunities. I hate the idea of living in a city because it is 1) way more expensive, 2) I have been in situations where I have been shoulder to shoulder with randos and I despise physical contact most of the time and 3) I can just imagine myself living in a little cottage in a tiny town and curling up with a good book with my 2 dogs after a long muddy walk.

Request for Feedback on Email to Organic Chemistry Professor?
Hi everyone, I’m currently struggling in organic chemistry and am just a few points away from passing. I’ve drafted an email to my professor to ask about potential options for leniency, such as extra credit or revisiting my exams for partial credit. Could I please get some feedback on my email? I want to make sure it’s professional and polite while explaining my situation clearly. Thank you Here’s the draft: I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to you regarding my performance in your Organic Chemistry course this semester. While I’ve worked diligently to understand the material, I’ve found it particularly challenging, especially as I’ve been navigating some personal and academic stresses throughout the term. I was hoping to explore any options for improving my grade. Specifically, I was wondering if there might be opportunities for extra credit assignments or projects. Additionally, if possible, I would be grateful if you could review my exams to see if there are any opportunities for partial credit or reconsideration. I fully understand if these requests cannot be accommodated, but I wanted to reach out and explore any potential options. I deeply value the material I’ve learned in this class and remain committed to doing everything I can to demonstrate my understanding. Thank you for your time, support, and consideration. I truly value the opportunity to learn in your class and appreciate any guidance you can provide.
