what do i have to work on to get my high school diploma im currently a student at job crops.?
i am currently getting my trade in home builders institute.
What kind of jobs can I get if I don't have a good enough gpa, which is a 2.5 GPA, and at least get to 75k entry level
I'm a 9th grader, and I love playing soccer, and I love the marketing world, and I just want to know if I can find a job in marketing because I know right now it's challenging with my 2.5 gpa and i havent taken any marketing classes (im doing that my 10th or 11th grade), and I just want ot make a lot of money, and I hate math and science, but I don't think that would get in the way. Thank you, and also one more question: I've been thinking of going into finance if I don't like marketing, so I just want to know more about finance with my interests, and I know a lot of places have different salaries, and I just want to know the median, or even better, in Minnesota

Im worried about high school
Im an 8th grader going into high school, but i’m not sure if I want to go or like if i’m ready. I got a lot of worries and i’m really going to miss middle school. I’m worried about like if i’ll get made fun of or if I wont do good in my classes or what career i’m going to pursue. I feel like now lifes going to get serious and everythings going to change.

Do I need a research mentor if I plan on conducting secondary research?
Hello! My name is Sanvhi and I am a rising junior. This summer and in the following months, I plan on conducting secondary research on the connection between architecture and domestic violence in India, exploring how spaces can impact the increase or decrease in violence taking place. To be honest, I am not completely sure how having a mentor works. In my research about it, I learned that I would assist them with their findings, and others different stories. I have heard that it is best to have a mentor for research, but since my research is not something I believe I can do with primary data I have gathered, I am not sure if I need one. If I did have one, I honestly am not sure what we would be able to discuss, or how they would be able to help me. Please let me know what you think. Thank you!

How do I start and get ahead in interior design and real estate?
Hi, my name is Ameerah and I’m in the 10th grade. For the past 2 years I’ve explored the field of interior design as much as I possibly can through as many platforms as I can think of. Whether social media or books, websites and blogs I’ve gathered as much information about this career path as I can. But, usually the best knowledge comes from seasoned professionals, so I came up with a few questions to ask that I get stuck on: -Is it better to get a degree for Interior design specifically, or could I get a degree in art and later merge into interior design and be successful with the same results? - what classes can I take to gain more knowledge? For example, I’m taking classes on textiles and drafting next semester. If anyone could give me any tips that would be amazing. Thanks

How do I pick a major + minor when every option seems like it won’t be sustainable financially, nor for who I am as a person?
I’m a 17 year old junior, and I’m strugglng to make a decision. I’d love a career that allows me to continue engaging with my interests (art, history, fashion, biology), that allows me to play a primarily supportive role in the execution of a project I care about, and allows me to help people, in some way. Though I’d probably be able to find some enjoyment in any job, I think these aspects are what would bring me the most personal fufillment. This has led me down the road of the GLAM sector, and so far, I love the idea of it. Aiding in the presevation and accessibility of knowledge? Cataloging, organizing, and managing records, items, and complicated but pretty structured systems? Researching for and designing exhibitions? What a dream it would be! Unfortunately, like a lot of fields meant to be in service of the people, it just doesn’t make good money. Despite knowing I’d love the job and the work I would do, I’m just not sure if I want to make myself go through that, especially with the current state of the world. It feels kinda selfish that I don’t want to waste my life away in a job I can’t stand, but I also don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of my life. My family is very much comfortable in my home country—I’ve truly never worried about finances here—but I am very sure that I’ll be studying abroad, and I am accutely aware that I won’t have economic support to the level that I’m used to. On top of the money troubles, I know the field is highly competitive and high-pressure, that it’s incredibly difficult to get into without connections, and that I’ll almost definitely go into debt to get the education most positions need. I would pivot, but I feel as if I’m too far in. My subjects, extracurriculars, and life has been built around this one thread, how am I meant to cut it and start anew? All other roads lead to careers that I feel so unsure about, or require skills I feel I’m too late to pick up. While I can learn to navigate and use a database, I’m still not very good with computers, or people, or chemistry. I don’t have any spark of entrepreneurship. I have a tiny interest in medicine, but I don’t think I could handle the responsibilty; someone losing their life because I made a mistake terrifies me. Sorry for the rant! D: But that leads me back to my original question, how do I pick a path when everything feels like a dead end? Every compromise makes me feel insane, because it just feels like I’m walking in circles and running into the same problems. It never feels like I’m actually reaching a middle ground, where I won’t be constantly worried about bills AND still actually like my job. Maybe this is just some character flaw I need to work through? Maybe I just need to be more adaptable, more willing to take risks and slum it. Maybe I just need to expand my horizons and look for more options? But I don’t know anymore. Should I just look for a major that gets me a corporate job and have the personally fufilling things as a minor and side job? What jobs does “corporate” even include? Do I look for an integrated degree? Should I just go into like archiving or digital cataloging? Again, I’m SO sorry for this behemoth of a question! I’m just genuinely at my wit’s end. If anyone could provide any words of wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated! :D
What should I do the summer before senior year?
Hello! I'm currently a junior in high school looking for strong activities to fill my summer but it's proven difficult. I've researched dozens of possible summer research programs, however most come with a hefty price tag that I have no interest in paying. The high school internships I looked at are extremely limited in the Greater Seattle area or not related to my career of interest which is business, so I'm wondering if it's best to cold email business (maybe non-profits) in hopes of a response to volunteer/intern with them or to find a generic summer job and stick with that. If anyone has advice on the best course of action, it would be greatly appreciated!
