What does the work environment look like when working as a social worker in a hospital or school.?
I want to work with children so I am deciding if I want to be a social worker for a hospital or school. But I also wonder how a day to day would look like. I have talked with the few social workers I know but most of them work for the state rather then the field I want to go to though it might be the same I still want to know in what ways its different and what could be similar with work load, hours and more.

Hi everyone, I graduated in Spring 2024 and have been on the job market since then. I recently applied for the Platform Engineer role at Capital One, and a recruiter reached out to me about a job tryout assessment. Has anyone gone through the same process or have any information about it? Thank you
What are some possible career paths that I could take?
I am currently majoring in Anthropology (with a focus in biological anthropology) and in Mathematics. I like both subjects, but I’m more interested in anthropology. I’m trying to figure out career paths that could possibly combine these two. I also have an interest in forensic anthropology. I’m just not sure what to do with my life career wise so if anyone could give some advice that would be great.

What should a person starting with community college do to become an optometrist ?
I am a just graduated high school student, and I want to become an optometrist. I personally don't have great vision and use glasses everyday of my life, which has caused me to get interested in the study of the eyes and to then want to go to school for optometry. After high school, I am going to a community college. What classes should I take there to get my basics done and also have my pre requisites for university after community college? What would be a good major to major in community college and university? Which pre reqs should I have completed before optometry school? Is med school required to pursue this career? I also would like to know what major would be good for undergrad? Is a doctorate required to become an optometrist? And what would look good for optometry school? I havent started community college yet, and have a long way ahead of me to optometry school, but I am confused on how to start the path for it as someone who is going to a community college first. I plan on furthering my education after community college, I just don't know what would be the best classes and majors to choose to then continue into optometry school. Any tips or extra advice would be highly appreciated. :)
As a high school student, how can I determine if a career in photography is right for me?
In order to look into photography as a career instead of a hobby I will need to enroll in photography classes to learn more about lighting, composition, technique's and many more elements to capture a beautiful image. I can perhaps look for photography clubs around me to get more familiar with taking professional photos. One last thing I can do to gain more knowledge is watch YouTube tutorials that'll be helpful for editing the images/ to take them as well.
I know little art and environment. What do you think should be my major of study?

What careers could I be headed towards?
Hey! My name is Abbey and I’m a first-year student at the University of St.Thomas in St.Paul Minnesota. Throughout my whole life, I've had an interest in sports, health, and the human body. Because of this, I decided to major in Exercise Science and double minor in Nutrition and Business Administration. I was looking at becoming an athletic trainer but decided against it a few months ago. I am really just looking for someone who has some knowledge in these areas, and could tell me a little bit of what I could go into when I'm older that includes my major and minors! And any other insights that I could find helpful in the future!
What is your career advice for a 23 y/o with no degree but has work experience ?
What would be your career advice for someone who dropped out of nursing school, went into sales for 3-4 years and now an adjuster for a Fortune 500 company. I don’t like my job and I’m ready to try something different. I don’t want to take in bound calls or have very minimal calls. I’m thinking of getting a degree in accounting or CS. I’m not sure which direction to go from here and would love to hear what adjacent degrees or jobs would fit

Should I give up my passion?
I have two passions only. Making Art and making Music. I am a graphic design student who is doing pretty well in college and juggling my Art and Music passions. I am pretty good at both of my passions. Lately someone told me that I should focus only on one passion. There are some youtube videos and articles that supports my situation and says that it's great thing two have two passions or even more and there are some youtube videos and articles that says that you should have only one passion and put all your focus on it. There is a kinda famous artist/musician called Jack Stauber who i stumbled upon lately who is juggling the same two passions of mine in addition to animation, sculpture, stop motion, many different musical instruments, singing, songwriting, and many more. he majored in Marketing . And there is also Caroline konstnar who is ballet dancer, artist, singer, comedian, actor, content creator. My question is should I give up on one of my passions and focus only on one, which is something that I don't wanna do. Or be like these two musician/artist examples and embrace my two passions through content creation by making music and making art for my music or making music and making animation for my music just like they do. Thank You

How do I start getting vet tech experience when they often require prior experience to hire you?
I have been struggling to discover an internship or a facility that will hire me as most of the vet tech assistant jobs often require prior experience. How am I supposed to get the 'prior experience' necessary to be accepted in these jobs if I've never had one? I am very fortunate to have pretty basic medical handling skills and abilities, such as proper restraint, muzzling, intramuscular injection, medicating orally, taking and interpreting vital science, and taking and reading fecal samples. I have also assisted in the birth of livestock, monitored pregnancy in a mare, and have worked as an animal shelter technician for more than a year.
