How should I look up specific information about a college or university that I am curious about?
I was previously given some suggestions on possible colleges and universities that might fit with what I want to do for my career. I was wondering how I should look up information on those specific recommendations or look up information on colleges and universities outside the recommendations I got.

Varied field options- I'm unsure which to pursue?
Hello, Getting into college a little late in the game (nearing 40,) and I'm torn on what to focus on. I've a strong interest in Library Sciences, but also History and Conservation (e.g. Art, artefacts, physical media.) Currently will be stepping into Library Sciences as I begin college via Liberal Arts, but might change my focus to History as an undergrad. Ultimately I'd love to work in a museum, or even handle University archives and libraries- how should I narrow my broad set of interests down to help fine-tune my education towards this goal?

How do I pick classes for high school based on what I want to do with my life later on?
In the future, I plan to go into architecture. The college that I'm most likely going to attend requires that you take either trigonometry or physics in high school to even be considered. Do I take one, or do I pick both just in case? Because I am two years ahead in math and science, my 11th and 12th grade years will be available. However, my school also offers early leave to seniors. Next year, I will be going into an Algebra II course. After that, AP pre-Cal. Then I have two free years regarding math. With Science, I will be going into Chemistry next year. The year after that, environmental science. I took Physical Science last year. I would like to point out that my school also offers AP classes for high school students. My school also offers Technical Math for College and Career and Civil Engineering and Arch (two separate classes).

How do I decide on what career path to take in the future ?
I am 14 in highschool planning to take AP classes and graduate ealry on. I think that doing all this in preperation for my future career is useless when I dont even know what it is.

I am searching for a career path ealry on because I want to know what I want to do when i graduate highschool and inter college.

LebanonI’m 16yr old junior, homeschooled and eager to get out there!
Why choose only one career when you can have multiple? Why only have one interest when you can multiple interests? I love business, fashion and medical related things so where should I start exploring to find guidance in the things I find interesting.

Is it okay to not know what you want to do as a career?
As a senior in high school, I've reached the point where I have to start applying to colleges. But I don't know what I want to do with my life. When I first came to the U.S, all my peers seem to be ready for college and already know what they want to do in life. It still scares me that my academics won't matter if I don't have a clear career path I want to pursue. I have interest in a lot of career paths right now but unlike my peers, I have not decided on one yet. I even planned on picking the one that pays the most but my mom told me to pick one that will make me happy. I'm scared to go to college with no decided major or career path in mind.

What should I do to find what I am interested in for a career path? How do I go about this uncertainty and stuck-in-the-glue moment? Why should I do a particular field?
Currently a college student who is having a crisis on what to do with life and as a career. I am struggling with finding what I would like to do. I tried out finance and am not really liking it. The club I joined really showed me that I don't perform well on pressuring deadlines and stress. But isn't every job like this?

ManhassetI finish my degree next year and i still don’t know what to do !!
Hi i’m Robyn. Currently studying Law & Politics I finish my degree next year. I have zero experience. I have never worked, never done an internship, never participated in activities related to my field of study. I feel so hopeless when it comes to me choosing a career. I have applied for internships, still haven't heard from them. My Cv is very empty. I don't know maybe it is my degree that doesn't offer many opportunities. I have tried finding internships that were also related to education, not only to my degree but I still couldn't find anything! As a little girl it has always been my dream to travel the world and i’m not really sure my degree is in touch with that ? What should I do? Where do I even start?
Cape TownI'm a sophomore in high-school and now that i'm getting closer to college I'm realizing my choice of career path seemed to broad and i'd like to have a career as child-advocate lawyer things such as helping troubled children or children/teens in dangerous situations or mental well being Harvard had always been the number one university for me because it's the best law school In the U.S I knew I didn't want to pursue a career in criminal law so now that I'm really looking into it I'm not even sure if Harvard is the right way to go anymore do I pursue a career in psychology? or a specific major relating to it and I'm struggling to find which college would be the best choice for me concerning the career path I'm passionate about as I'm not entirely sure anymore. I've always wanted to go to an ivy league because I thought it would be the best option. Harvard has always been a top choice but Yale has found it's way into my choices as well. Now that I'm navigating my career path I'm not sure if there are the right choices or not or if these colleges have what I need them to offer?
I just want to make the right choices for me and realizing my choices were too broad and that I needed to be very specific with what I want to pursue in my career path I want to start thinking about these choices now so I can meet the criteria for my college though I am undecided as of now.
