I'm majoring in Computer Science. When should I try to find internships? Is it hard to get one?
I'm majoring in computer science and I feel like I've been doing well so far. I definitely want to expand on my knowledge through an internship but I'm afraid that I won't have enough experience to even be considered. I know most people tend to apply for internships in their junior or senior...
How important is it to have a graduate school degree in the engineering work force?
I will be attending college as an engineering major, and I don't know if I want to pursue a graduate degree or not. I was wondering what percentage of the engineering work force only has undergraduate degrees and what percentage has graduate degrees. How significant is the job difference...
Are jobs in science really decreasing, and if so, is it still a good idea to go into them if you're dedicated enough?
I've heard conflicting statements about this. Some people have told me that pure science fields (not engineering, just research etc) are getting harder to find jobs in. Is this true? #science #biology #jobs #research #chemistry #job-market
What are the different subsections in applied and theoretical mathematics?
I want to pursue a career in math, and I know that I would have to decide on either theoretical or applied mathematics, but I was wondering what choices I would have to make further down the line as a #math-major.

Do I have to take physics in high school to be a successful engineer?
Unfortunately, I decided on my major late in my high school career. Because of this, I did not take physics in high school, but want to be an engineer in the future. Should I be dissuaded from the field if I did not take physics in high school? And is high school physics a necessity to...
Is there still gender bias towards women in science fields? If so, how would you suggest we overcome this?
I am a high school senior and am planning to study biochemistry in college in hopes of becoming a medical researcher on human diseases and cures. When I look at scientific fields, it still looks like the majority of them are male-dominant. #doctor #engineer #medicine #researcher #female
Does taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses in mathematics and science provide students with more opportunities in the field of engineering?
I chose to ask this question because I am currently enrolled in AP Statistics, AP Chemistry and Honors Trigonometry this year (my 11th grade year) and am considering taking AP Calculus and AP Physics next year (my 12th grade year). Will taking these classes set me apart from other students and...
For those that have gone into the field of software development, what would you say is one of the most interesting programs you've created?
I've always been into coding and plan to go into the field of computer science when I'm in college. I find it interesting when people tell me all the amazing things they were able to create with their knowledge of different coding languages. #technology #computer-software
What are the Pros and Cons of Switching to a Computer Science Major?
Hi my name is Emily and I am currently a Nursing major but I would like to switch to computer science. Before I would like to switch, I would like to know what I would be getting into and the pros and cons of a computer science degree. #science #computer #major
I want to improve my Maths and Physics knowledge.

What are some fields for people(myself) that excel in Math?
I don’t know what I want to major in/do in my future however I plan on taking calculus (as a junior) and have a 4.0. I know I have endless choices I just don’t know of any specific jobs. #choosing-a-major #college-major #college-majors #mathmatics #math #college
How can I improve my chances of being accepted into graduate school for Theoretical Astrophysics?
I am a high school senior, graduating in a few weeks. I am entering a four-year college this fall, double-majoring in Physics and Astronomy. My ultimate goal is to earn a PhD in Theoretical Astrophysics. #phd #astrophysics #theoretical
How hard is it to handle a double major in business and physics?
I'm concerned about the future and definitely wondering about my options, especially after hearing that physics is a difficult major. #college #business #student #physics
Do you need to be good at computing for a career in physics?
I'm going into physics, but I'm not great on computers. Should I start learning now? #physics #computers #occupation
If I majored in physics, what job opportunities would be available to me?
My name is Anna and I am a sophomore in high school. I took the high school Physics course last year and it was my absolute favorite class I've ever taken. I'm pretty sure I want it to be my major, but I don't really know what specific jobs I can do with a major in Physics. Thanks! #physics
