How can an MBBS graduate become a licensed therapist without pursuing a full psychology degree like a Bachelor’s or Master’s?
I’m currently in medical school and passionate about becoming a therapist, not a psychiatrist. I’ve learned that an MPhil in Clinical Psychology is a direct path, but I’m worried I may not meet the eligibility requirements, as most programs require a strong foundation in psychology. Are there alternative pathways for MBBS graduates to transition into therapy while minimizing time spent on additional degrees? Any guidance on how to proceed would be deeply appreciated!

When adding an experience to a resume, is the organization supposed to be the one my project was for, or the one I received payments from, if they are not the same one?
Context: I am a college senior, and was initially hired for a research lab, and from the Research Lab (RL), a team worked for a project at a Company (C), and I was within that team. I already put RL on my resume as I did a different there prior to C’s project, do I put C in as an organization for a separate experience? Or is C’s project considered an experience within RL and not C? Basically, would I be wrong to list C as the organization because I was paid by RL, or would putting C make more sense because the project was for and benefited C? I received an offer elsewhere and don’t know if I represented myself properly anymore, I realized this issue when having an inconclusive conversation about resumes with my friends. All advice will be appreciated!

How can I be successful with my Business Administration Degree?
Hello, I am a first-semester freshman and due to my negligence I received a C in one of my classes. I have an average GPA now (around 3.5 if I do well in all my other classes), but I want to succeed with the Business Admin. Degree. I know I want to work in marketing, social media marketing, and I am exploring Accounting with my first Accounting class next semester. I have an internship lined up for next semester as well for marketing and event planning, and I am going to be doing an interview next week for another internship. I currently hold a co-social media manager position for a Dance team at my University, and I hope to get the graphic design position I was working towards within my next semester. Because I did not prioritize one of my classes and the subsequent classes this semester I ended with a C and the rest of my grades as high B's. I plan on working harder next semester so I can get better grades, but I am worried like this semester I will fall behind (I also had an on-campus job this semester and was taking interviews and applying to other jobs as well). I want to graduate early, and attend an MBA school so I have created a plan as to how I will graduate early with my classes, and started looking at what I should achieve to be accepted in the Deferred Admissions process for an MBA school. My University is small and not known for their business program, and in regards to the jobs I've been applying to I have focused on part-time internships: - social media - advertising - accounting I also applied to various on-campus jobs. In my free time I have worked to gain more knowledge about marketing and other jobs in business along with the skills required for them. This is why I landed on Marketing because of my creativity and artistic abilities, and how it can prove to be useful.

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.

What education and major would I have to do to work in Child Protective Services?
I have always wanted to work with kids and though some might not see this as a good way to I like the idea that I would be able to help children with my work. I have researched social work and have picked to either become a social worker at a school or hospitality or work for CPS. Though I know some might say it does take an emotional toll on some I also don't want to just teach kids but also help them with other problems such as ones that may occur in this line of work. Overall I really just want to know if either of these two careers are majorly different when it comes to education and other factors such as pay, work load, hours and more.
