What are some good high school (Junior or Senior year) foreign exchange programs for an outgoing student from California and an incoming student to Japan?
Hi there! I'm an incoming high school junior as of August 2024 and am considering taking either a semester or a school year in Japan as a foreign exchange program out of the San Juan Unified School District. The issue is that I don't know much about compatible credits or what programs would work for low-income, 16-year-olds.

What colleges offer anti-human trafficking courses or I guess degrees?
I'm a high school student currently and already know I want to put my life on the line in different developing countries and stop human trafficking. I want to go to college and be able to directly progress in this field but have no idea what colleges offer the best programs for prepping to be in this field one day. They all always make it sound like they are well-rounded in every field but I want to know colleges who have well-developed, strong classes pertaining to human trafficking. Any information anyone can give me would make me very appreciative #human-trafficking #college #college-majors #foreign-countries #foreign-languages #foreign #save-children #college-courses
Why is trade school so taboo in the US?
In Germany, it is completely normal for students that have graduated school to go directly into a trade school instead of college; in fact, students can learn to be in IT through hands-on learning. In the US, most are encouraged to attend college for four or so years to get a degree before actually seeing the realities of the career they're entering, and vocational schools are scoffed at, even though they can be sometimes even better at preparing students to work. Can anybody who has been in vocational school or traditional university (or both) explain what disadvantages there may be to trade school that have built up this cultural attitude? I'm intrigued to see if it may be more worthy to save money from a college route and embark on an experience-based journey to a life-long career. #trade-school #vocational-school #tech #science #information-technology #foreign #save-money #university #united-states
Can I become a psychologist/therapist in another foreign country?
I want to know if I can be or get a job as a psychologist/therapist in another foreign country. I would love to travel to another country to do what I like to do and help out others with their problems. I am mostly interested in Japan and Korea because I know there are teens who are going through stress who can't seem to seek the help or support that they need in order to overcome their stress or other problems. #psychology #school-psychology #languages #foreign
