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?

Feeling lost and stuck. How do you decide what career path to take when you have no experience?
Hello, I’m 23 years old. I am about to graduate next year with Bachelor’s in Business Admin with an HR concentration. I am a fully remote student and feel this has hindered me in a lot of ways such as networking etc. I picked my major mostly because I wanted to help others and I had aspirations of being a social worker or counselor but they require a masters/license. Being that I was pushed back from graduating 2 years due to surgery and other things, I felt pressured to just pick something and graduate. I am doubting my major. It’s not that I don’t have interest in HR but feel completely disconnected due to lack of experience. I also am more introverted/shy and the thought of new hire orientation/recruiting sounds dreadful to me. Everything just feels off to me. The only other things I can switch my major to would be accounting or marketing and not push me back further. I’ve learned you can get into HR without a major and most people just sort of land into HR. Which I didn’t know prior to picking my major. As well as that, there are absolutely no entry level jobs for HR. It’s super upsetting. I have been attempting to get an Internship with no such luck. They are few and far in between. I’ve made it to final rounds but have been rejected. What I really want to do is be a counselor, social worker or nurse/mri tech etc. I would love to work in something medical/helping others. Nursing would set me back 3 years since it’s a totally different path. Rad tech etc are two year programs with pre reqs. I just don’t want to waste my college credits and hard work but I feel very confused at this point. For instance I have about 116 credits, as I changed my major once before and took courses I didn’t need. I will graduate with 146 credit hours. I will graduate at 24, before I turn 25 and I feel old and have absolutely no experience besides retail/fast food jobs. I was supposed to graduate in 2024, so it is upsetting seeing peers graduate. I want to graduate and gain experience and maybe potentially go back to school one day once I actually experience the world. I need a break from school and can’t imagine pushing myself back or enrolling in another program once I graduate. I’m just scared and unsure of my future. I don’t know how to stand out or what my next move should be. I don’t know if I should continue with this Business Admin degree with a concentration in HR, but I fear it is what I mostly align with other than Nursing and such. I don’t even feel confident in saying this is my major because I lost all passion/motivation due to rejects of internships. Being an online student, I also know no one else who went to college. All of my friends are mostly in trades. Do you have advice? I’m feeling lost and struggling a lot.

KochiHow 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
