How do I avoid limiting my career options to the major I choose in college?
Hello everyone!
I have always believed that no one should be forced to choose what they do for the rest of life at a young age. How can I give myself more freedom to explore different careers, and at the same time, remain focused on one area of study? Thank you.
Best,
Benjamin

Are student loans as scary as some make it seem?
I’m worried I won’t be able to get a good job after college to be able to pay back the loans. I’ve heard horror stories of people paying $900 just on interest rates. #college #loans # #job-search

Is it worth it to apply to ivy league schools even though out of state tuition is much higher? I am worried I will have a lot of student debt and get homesick.
In state tuition is very cheap and there isn't any ivy league schools in utah.

Hi, Im a senior in high school and Im 16. In my Econ class, my teacher asked everyone what they want to do after high school. Everybody said something and I said college even though I wasn't sure about my answer. I really do want to go to university but the problem is that I don't know what to study. My mom really wants me to be a doctor(yes I'm Asian) but I really want to be an artist., but i dont want to go to college just to study art. I'm good at math and I'm also interested in business and law. any idea what I should choose as my career? Or what I should study in college?

If I am able, would it be beneficial to me if I started a new club at my school?
I've considered starting a new club at my school, but I don't know if it'll be worth it. I have a very busy schedule and most of the students at my school don't join clubs or take them seriously. I don't want to waste my time if it's not going to be worthwhile. #club #extracurricular...
