How can I impact make a change through educating myself?

I am writing to you with passion for the change I want to see in this world. Not to bring up politics directly, but that is exactly why I feel a sudden urge to dive deeper into careers in advocacy for social justice and human rights. I know there are many jobs in journalism dealing with the discussion of topics like this, but I know I am way too biased to ever maintain a career in political journalism. I was just researching civil rights/advocacy jobs, and many have related majors that I should focus on and earn a degree in. While I am absolutely positively remaining and earning a bachelor's degree in LA/CAR Studies, I was wondering if there would be a minor or concentration, I could add to get more experience in the field of advocacy? Or if there are any clubs you are aware of, rather than putting myself into more debt, that I could join and become an active member? My main interest specifically with LAS is the international side of advocacy, but I also have an interest in civil rights pertaining to women, LGBTQ+, etc... I can't think of a specific one to focus on as I find importance in representation of all. I hope you can make sense of my word spaghetti. Thank you in advance, Hope

What can I study my undergrad year before going to law school?

I wanted to study a social science or humanities before going into law but am not too sure what my options are limited to and would like an insight or some information regarding those options. I am looking for something versatile in the job market in case I shift gears in the future and pursue something other than law. #Fall24

Is medicine the right track for me if I'm passionate about it but I also want a political career on the side ?

Hi ! I'm a high school student, and my goal in life is to leave an impact on the world. I want to change big systems, but also help people through medecine. Do doctors have the time to be activists in fields unrelated to med ? When I think about med school, I'm excited, but I also have a big lump in my stomach. I'm unsure if this is due to a fear of not succeeding or reluctance to get into the field...

How do I find a job post-grad in the political science sector ?

I just recently graduated from UCSB with a political science degree and I am very interested in international relations and community development, but I have no idea where to start, and it seems like the job market is scary. I would like to work for the government, but am considering going to law school as well. I have acquired relatively decent experience throughout undergrad: - I graduated with a 3.7 gpa from UCSB - I worked on a community development research project as a research assistant - I interned for a non profit organization in a position focused around community development and outreach - held a position in my sorority for a year Any tips/tricks/advice on how or where to look for a job?
