What resources were the most useful throughout your graduate-school journey How did you balance your work, school, and personal life without sacrificing your mental, physical, or emotional health? #Spring25
I am a student enrolling in a cell and molecular biology masters degree program, living on her own for the first time. I previously balanced multiple jobs, volunteering, club activities, and athletics throughout my undergraduate degree career; however, I am concerned that due to the rigorous nature of master degree programs, I may run into time constriction related issues. I would love advice on strategies, programs, or helpful resources to help mitigate possible issues that could arise throughout graduate school to best promote a healthy work-school-life balance.

Should I get a masters degree immediately after my bachelor's or wait a few years??
I plan on majoring in History education. I know some schools will pay for their teachers to get their master's degree, but I don't know if I want the stress of working a full-time job while also getting my master's degree.

Is it possible to get a good paying job after graduating college with a bachelor's degree?
I want to study psychology and neuroscience in college, and while I'm interested in seeking a master's degree, it's just not financially justifiable. I will already have so much debt after obtaining a bachelor's degree, and searching online what jobs I can get with it didn't help reassure me. It doesn't matter what field you studied in college, I just want to know that it's possible to get a decent job after studying at a 4-year college, and any pursuable plans for getting an even higher degree when you don't have the money for it.

I am not sure what type of psychology I should pursue: general or clinical?
I am currently doing my bachelors in psychology and I don't know whether to pursue clinical or general psychology for post-graduate study. I am interested in working with clients in a clinical setting but I am not sure if I have the marks to pursue clinical over a general registration. My preference isn't resolute so I would be fine becoming a general psychologist as well. However, I am not sure I know enough details about both and how day to day life would be in either of those streams.

OcalaWhat should my next steps be to gain a career path in Human Trafficking Prevention?
Hi, I am currently undertaking an undergraduate in Anthropology and International Development in England and have gained a deep passion for human traffic prevention. I am trying to figure out the right next steps in order to be useful in this field and become more desirable to companies. I am considering a master's in International Human Rights Law, however, this being a LLM, I'm not entirely sure if this is useful considering I am not a law student. Any advice here? I am also considering the internship route, which will help me gain physical experience. I have a desire to work with victims who have recently escaped trafficking, however, is this possible without a social work/care degree? I am the first in my family to study here and would love any advice to get me closer to this field. Thanks :)

Other than Indeed and Linkedin, what are other websites I can apply to?

OmahaIn Australia, how big is the difference between the *content* of a Bachelor's Degree with Honours and an equivalent Master's Degree?
I understand that Bachelor + Honours degrees typically take 4 years, while Master’s degrees take about 2. But is there a difference in the *content* of these degrees? I'm specifically interested in La Trobe University, but advice about other universities are welcome as well! For reference, these undergraduate vs these postgraduate degrees from La Trobe (which are all health degrees, as upon exiting any of these, you can register with the relevant board and be a practitioner): - Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) VS Master of Occupational Therapy Practice - Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) VS Master of Physiotherapy Practice - Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) VS Master of Social Work - Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) VS Master of Speech Pathology There may be better examples from other Australian Universities!
