How do I become a medical researcher/scientist?
Hello, I’m currently a sophmore in high school who’s mentally suffering from searching about medical researcher’s career path . I’m really considering becoming one, but since the internet’s so diverse, I can’t really know which one’s right or wrong. I didn’t have much time to talk with my school counselor either. Everything’s such a blur and I have no idea where to start. Could someone at least briefly explain the path of becoming a medical researcher, please? Thank you!

I am a second grade medical school. I got high marks at the first grade. When the 2nd year started i just felt i am not in this field. But I am good at math, analyzing, numbers, some kind of business analysis. So I’m thinking about applying for the business administration school instead of the medical field. I am just very confused about the business field because some people say it has no future, so what you advise me ?
Thanks for your help !

Which job opportunities does have a person who studies to be an english philologist?
Hello, I'm on my last year of high school and I need to choose which major I want to study next year at university. I have been thinking about studying linguistics, but sometimes it looks like the only thing you can do with that degree is to become a teacher, and I do not want to work at a school. Which other jobs could I get with an English degree other than teaching?

How is everyone? Hello, Y'all I have a question. I am an aspiring doctor who is a freshman in high school. My current High School course plan includes these classes I have a choice in taking (not English): 10th Grade (Algebra 2 A, Chemistry A, Government+Economics H, Marketing A, IB Physics A). Junior year consists of these (IB Pre-Calculus A, IB History of the Americas H, IB/AP Biology Year 1, IB Business Management, AP Chemistry H, and Health Care Technologies 1 A). Lastly, my Senior year consists of (IB/AP Calculus A, IB 20th Century Topics, IB/AP Biology Year 2, IB/AP Advanced Physics 2 H, and Human Body Systems A) Are these solid enough classes if I do well to get into my dream schools? The University of Michigan and the University of Florida? I plan on taking all the available exams to attempt college credit. Thank you to everyone who helps and responds!

How should I write my college application essay?
I'm currently a junior and I want to attend an Ivy League, but I don't know how to write my essays. People say to find something unique that only can happen to me, but I can't seem to find it. I applied and submitted my Questbridge Prep Scholars application, but I feel that my essay isn't good. I've seen those essays on social media and they all seem unique and heart touching.

How to decide the best after highschool plan (marketing career)?
Hii! So, I've been wanting to pursue a career in marketing (more specifically international marketing as I would love to travel in my career). I'm currently a junior in high school, and I'm taking a few AP classes to help me when I go to college, but that's my problem. I've always wanted to go to college but now I'm having second thoughts. I currently have a 3.2 GPA, which I've been told isn't good enough to go out of state. While I have all my math credits, I can't get my Algebra 2 credits (as I didn't pass my sophomore year, and I didn't get the credits in the makeup class), and I'm worried that this is bad for college. I'm not sure if I should potentially pursue something different, but I am very open to a bit of advice. Thank you!!

Hpw can i prepare before arriving?
I am going to Canada soon. Maybe in 2 weeks thanks to Dr H’s advice guiding me. I want to have knowledge of the universities there. If I am going to go there and want to start perhaps journalism or a career that has to do with helping people because I know how it feels like to be in bad state. Like how NGO helps, but I want to help with what I can for them. I did study medicine before. Any advice from anyone please would appreciate it.

Advocacy and Sociology degree?
I am currently back in college about to finish my first year associates and wanting to switch my degree plan to what I have the most passion for, advocacy for victims of sexual assault. I am also interested in equality and gender which points me to sociology but the psychology part of counseling. I need help in deciding what is the best way to help others in my future as I go through school. the classes I have taken so far I have to have with both degree plans but I have to make a decision on the specialty going forward.

San FranciscoDoes my portfolio needs to be successful?
It’s been 6 months of owning and managing 2 websites about liquors and Crm software. With all the respective social signals. Will I be able to start a career in digital marketing possibly remote. I have all the necessary certificates(like 6 of them) and I need to see if I could be able to get it. My worry is that those websites aren’t considered successful. The first one on CRM has 300 page views a month and the second one on liquors has about 500 a month. Also I’ve managed to get thousands of views on a YT channel. And that’s pretty much it. I’ve also run mock campaigns on both the websites with like 20 bucks Would you say I can get a job or not? Note: I am not a us citizen and I am 18.

What types of out of school extracurricular activities should I do for a high school junior wanting to get into interior design?
After a college advisor meeting I was told I needed more activities that coincide with interior design, I already do band so that takes up most of my time and also prevents me from taking any art classes at my school due to schedule complications. What types of things can I do outside of school not including online courses that could help me build up for showing colleges my interest in interior design?
