How do I move forward in life?
I'm at a point in my junior year of high school where everything about college, career, and life feels way too serious. I honestly don't know what to do with myself. For some reason, there seem to be too many options after high school, and I'm not even sure where to start with college applications, where to apply, what to write, or what to consider. I feel stopped in my tracks. For some context, I'm not depressed, and I have a vague idea of being in medicine, my grades are alright, and I have decent extracurriculars. I just think I'm following some kind of formula. Now that I'm at a point where I really have to think for myself and what I want, it's overwhelming.

I want to be a teacher, but my mom and cousin were teachers and say it sucks, but I want to try it and see if I'd do it well because I'm passionate about it, but should I just find something else then?

Can I possibly make it to university, I am committed to my education but, I dont have any opportunities?
i dont have any opportunitues hpw can i get one or any? I want to further study but I dont have certificate accomplishments to prove just experience but how can I show universities my work ethis and committente if I cant go to them. I want to get a scholarship or eveb I agree with going for a student loan. However the problem is that I cant do education in the county I am in because I want to study where they actually care for the education system and students. I want to get a visa to a country but which country will give students free student visas or any programs that can give you humanitarian visa, i am able to work and volunteer. I am a hardworkng person and stay on task. I have not been free my life always following orders of my parents and honestly I knowthey mean the best for me, but following them has lead me no where and I want to finish my education and achieve my goals. I am 25 and I used to be in university but I dont have any certification because my family was threatened and we run away. I lost my certification of university unable to take it from them. As a girl I also don't have much of any will. I really just want an education to pursue. I have full commitment and want nothing but an opportunity. But the question is how can i get it. It feels as though universities are all after whobever pays better. I have no money, nothing, and no body because my family is broke and they are waiting for an NGO for help and possibly are but I want to open my path. I want to continue my education. It has been over 4 years I haven't been able to study. My heart and mind rushed to be in an institute to study, go research, to make friends for once, to be able to feel how its like to lielve a normal life. I have no issue with making money I have experience in the work life. I have done a little teaching, marketing and am really good with a lot of things especially kids. I would like to possibly pursue a medical field that way I can easily pay my depts on time if I am to be given an opportunity. Please I really want an opening. No one can be trusted everyone lies. No. body helps because they also don't trust but its not to be. blamed. My country people jave made it impossible for those of us who actually want to educate to educate. And now I am stuck and I have nothing to do. I am also insecure right now judt surviving in a room. I want to run and be free. How? How can I find someone or somewhere whonwill help me in a short amount of time. Because I have been hurt, i have been traumatized and seen trauma done to me. I have nothing but my spirit wanting to educate and help others. So please if there is any possible way do help me, guide me what to do. Also i had like to said i have a case with my family under UNHCR but they have not helped us over the years now. We have been waiting but no one is helping. Our case has send to a resettlement country but no one is responding i dont know what to do. The name of the country was told but no other info yet no one from the embassy contacted us and unhcr is on hold bevause of the crisis going on in pakistan. Please anyone with any kind of help of guidance can give me please give me. It seems everything even humanitarian help is running on money because some people have paid and got helped out but I have no one just a mom and siblings. What can i do? Please i just want an opportunity to my education. After seeing how responsive and amazing everyone resoonds i just wabted to share to know if i also could be helped. Thank you or taking the tine to read this.

What is the usual annual income for the average electrician in NYC? Have you or a co-worker ever received an injury during work? What education and or training did you have to get where you are?
I'm currently in search of a trade that will give me employment and an income of $70-$100,000 annually so that I can fit in comfortably in the city I've dreamed of moving to, New York City. Career-wise, the reason I've chosen NYC specifically is because, aside from, Los Angeles, it's entertainment central. You see, truly, I'm an aspiring writer and artist but there's no trade for that, I'm afraid.

United StatesShould I take AP Environmental or Careers in Education?
I need help!! I'm going into 11th grade next year and I need to pick between these two classes! APES gives me rigor and another AP to add onto my list but overall I want to major in elementary education in college so I feel like I can gain more experience. My counselor said that I can take Careers in Ed my senior year and that APES will look better and counts for my GPA while Careers in Ed doesn't. Yet he said if I won't be happy take Careers in Ed. I feel like I just want to have a class to enjoy and look foward to instead of a class I would dread but I can't stop thinking about what colleges like more class difficulty or experience? Please help!

How do I have a career in technical theatre?
I am a junior in high school and I got into tech (specifically set and props) last year through our spring musical and i am doing the musical this year as well. I still am not sure what I want to do, it’s between tech and law, but I don’t know much about how to have a stable career with tech. I love to create and the variety of working in theatre really appeals to me. I don’t know much about doing theatre professionally, but I really enjoy it and can see myself doing it for a long time, but i’m worried about job security and financial stability. Does anybody have some advice?
