What computer science passion project should I do?
I am a junior in high school and want to do a passion project. I am interested in computer science and business as a career and my hobbies include reading, art/crafts, and crocheting (I'm still a beginner so I'm not that good at it + I've been taking a break because of school). What kind of passion projects should I do that will use these skills and look good on college applications? If they don't include my hobbies that's also okay but I want it to be related to mainly computer science.
How do I shadow someone in the career field I want to go into? (Multiple questions below)
I am a junior in high school and I really want to shadow a dentist and a sonographer because those are my top two choices. By shadowing it'll help me understand which career path I would rather go into. It would also give me some good experience. HOWEVER, my problem is no one is answering my emails. Has this happened to anyone? Is there anything else I should do? Is there something besides shadowing that will help me gain more insight?

CSIs, how often are you called into work after your shift ?
I'm a highschool student who wants to work in criminal justice in the future, and CSI sounds very interesting to me. But from what I've heard, you have to get up even when you're off-shift, work overtime, and have a very inconsistent schedule with minimal sleep. It's important to me that I'll have time to sleep and exercise after work, and that routine being disturbed sometimes is manageable. But I haven't heard about how often it would get disturbed, so I'm starting to think CSI might not be right for me.
How should I decide if I want to be a dentist or an ultrasound technician/sonographer?
I am a junior in high school and I'm having a hard time choosing what I want to become. My top choices are definitely a dentist or an ultrasound tech. However, I'm conflicted about which one to choose. Going the dentist route I'd be in school for longer, around 8 years while ultrasound tech would only take about 4. However, I wouldn't mind being in school for long (I hope). They both had good salaries too. Hence, why I am conflicted. PLEASEEE help me decide because I feel like I should make a choice soon so I know where I want to go to college.
How can I bring the Children and Women home?
Not many people talk about it, but I wanna stop it. Sex trafficking both angers and disgusts me to the core and I'd like to start taking classes so I can find out how to stop it. I'm currently in 10th grade and can take any online classes I want starting next semester. I've already had a semester in Psychology which I've heard helps. But I want to know all courses I can take in high school, then ones I can take in college. Then find the job to help put it to end. I need to do something to help them, but I don't know how.

How does a college schedule differ from a highschool schedule?
I know that in college you have a major and a minor ( Or multiple minors/ majors?) and a certain amount of credits you need to take a year to graduate like in high school, but how is it different from high school? How do minors work and is it normal to take more than one or is it easier to just complete one? How do you know if you should take a double major? Is it better to take a minor or just take a few classes in a field if you have the time? I know you have someone in the school who helps you fit things into your schedule but how flexible is it compared to high school scheduling? And are some classes at strict times or do they depend on students' interest in the class? Sorry it's a lot of questions I'm just really confused on this area
What should I do during the summer of my junior year of high school? #Fall24
I want to do something related to engineering but I haven't quite ironed down anything specific. For the past few years, all my jobs have been related to teaching children or tutoring so I'm worried those won't be useful when it's time for me to apply to colleges. #Fall24
