Opportunities/Advice for Junior Illustrators?
I'm really lost on how to get any opportunities as an illustrator with very little experience. It seems I can't find a place where they'd take a junior illustrator without job experience that's remote, cause in my country there are like no opportunities at all for illustrator. Before I got my degree my professor's would often say how it's a bit hard but there were jobs out there for us. These days I wonder why did I have to choose a career that has so little employability in my country. I seem to always be making poor choices for my professional future. Any advice would be appreciated or if you know a place that's hiring illustrators with no experience, please let me know. I'm also thinking about trying to apply for graphic design internships since it's kind of similar, but obviously not the same...

How to get a 100% remote cybersecurity job as a fresh college graduate? How to develop those skills and I have 0 years of experience
Hi everyone, I’m Vidhi, and I’m about to graduate from OSU Ecampus with a degree in Computer Science. As we all know, the job market is tough right now, especially for fresh graduates without strong industry experience. I’m very interested in securing a 100% remote cybersecurity role since there are no tech companies near me, and I prefer not to relocate. I understand that referrals and LinkedIn networking are key, but I also want to build the right skills and earn certifications that will make a strong impression on recruiters and increase my chances of getting hired. Any advice on the best skills to focus on or the most valuable cybersecurity certifications for entry-level roles? Which is better hackthebox or tryhackme. Are they even worth it? Do recruiters care?
Is this a wise decision for a potential future career in a Federal Agency?
Hi all, hope you are doing well! I am a forensic psychology student who, at the moment, is struggling to define the exact career path I want to take. However, I do know that I want to either work as a Forensic Psychologist in the court system or in any Behavioral Analysis/Criminal Profiling role for a federal agency such as the FBI, CIA, DEA, etc. As a result, I want to gain some internship experience to build my resume for these jobs. I just came across an internship position for a Reproductive Rights Center that I am extremely interested in. However, there's something in the back of my mind that's causing me to hesitate for a second. Given the current polarized political climate, I worry that working in this area might be perceived negatively by potential future employers in my field, especially as America moves more and more towards the right wing side of it all. I am unsure if it would be wise to go into this position and if this experience might be viewed unfavorably by future employers in my chosen field. At the same time, I feel as though I am overthinking this. I know that we are all free to believe in whatever we want as American citizens, but there's been a lot of fear and speculation going around these days and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Once again, I am completely open to the possibility of me overthinking this, but I wanted to hear it from someone who's more experienced and wiser than me. Thank you all!

I am not sure what type of psychology I should pursue: general or clinical?
I am currently doing my bachelors in psychology and I don't know whether to pursue clinical or general psychology for post-graduate study. I am interested in working with clients in a clinical setting but I am not sure if I have the marks to pursue clinical over a general registration. My preference isn't resolute so I would be fine becoming a general psychologist as well. However, I am not sure I know enough details about both and how day to day life would be in either of those streams.
