How do I find the right combination of plot ideas?
I don't know the exact saying, but I think it's something about how all stories are used, just with different characters and settings. I don't know all the combinations, but I really want to look for some that really stands out. Sometimes I don't know what the "plot" is called, especially if I like it. How can I find more about plots? (I'm looking for unique ones [I also know plots can't be too wacky or least relatable, otherwise the viewer won't understand it], but iconic ones are cool too.) I also heard about the main 7 (Overcoming the Monster · Rags to Riches · The Quest · Voyage and Return · Comedy · Tragedy · Rebirth), but I don't know how to make it unique and cool. I know the plots are vague and authors tune it to their own (example: overcoming the monster can be emotion or literal), but I have characters and I don't even know my plot!
How reliable is getting jobs with online certificates?
At the moment I'm working as a web page designer using WordPress for Northeastern University. If I wanted to expand my skills and do the Google UX design certification, how well would that boost my credentials if I wanted to do a UX design job? I'm a business major concentrating in MIS and supply chain management, so there's really no overlap.
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.
Where should I start in pursuing Illustration/Cartooning/Art in Texas?
Hello, I am a sophomore in high school. I want to be an 2D Animator or Illustrator when I grow up, however I live in Texas with the rest of my immediate family.

How do you balance chasing a career and building a dream without giving up on either?
“Hi everyone, I’m at a bit of a crossroads in my life and would really appreciate some guidance. I have a bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Technology, graduated with honors and currently work as a medical assistant. While in college, I discovered a hidden passion—fashion design. It started as a hobby but quickly turned into something I truly love. I started a fashion brand(Awulak), creating customized outfits for people with no tutor and completely developing my skills from just Youtube, and it’s been one of the most fulfilling parts of my journey. Now, I find myself torn between two dreams. On one hand, I want to pursue a career in dietetics, which feels like a natural path considering my degree. On the other hand, I dream of growing my fashion brand into something bigger, something that tells stories and touches lives. If anyone has ever been in a place like this—where your heart is divided between a career and a business—how did you navigate it? How did you decide what to focus on without feeling like you were giving up on something you love? I would deeply appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for listening.
