I will finish my high school in a few months and choosing my majors is a really hard decision. I had business in mind for awhile but TikTok made me doubt my choice. I heard bad stuff like there is no job opportunities or the paying is not good. If you majored in business and have experience please let me know if it is a good decision or should I change my mind?
I’m struggling with something that has started to seriously affect how I think about my career. I believe I’m experiencing severe appearance-based discrimination in hiring. I’ve had repeated experiences where I felt that hiring managers judged me very negatively because of how I look, rather than because of my skills or the quality of my work. Yesterday, I spoke with some hiring managers who essentially told me that, given my situation, I should focus on careers where I can remain mostly invisible and where appearance supposedly matters as little as possible, things like backend development, data work, etc. The problem is: AI. Those jobs are highly automated, so only jobs where being presentable is a requirement left. If appearance discrimination is severe enough that I’m systematically rejected from jobs involving presentations, which non physical jobs are left? I also don’t currently have the money to go back to university for another degree just to switch into a more technical field. So I’m trying to figure out what the realistic options are.I’m not looking for reassurance that “appearance doesn’t matter.” I’m looking for practical advice from people who have actually dealt with this.
Is the profession seeing many layoffs offs similar to those from tech, creatives, translation, marketing, and sales?
Long story short, I am a 34 yr old mom to a 5 year old and a wife. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse or someone in that kind of field. I was too intimidated to try when I was younger and by the time I got the confidence, I was felt too old and also not able to stop working to do clinicals or anything because of my responsibilities now.
Has anyone ever made a change like this and how did you do it? Or should I just get another pet to take care of at this point instead lol I really just like caring for people and things.
Guys I need help with choosing a career
So I need a career that has three main things!
for me personally, I like math and chemistry. I took bio and now I’m suffering as hell!
I really like being a ceo like that is something that I have dreamed of when I was young but then, I thought about becoming a doctors because they have high salary! (But I heard some people saying don’t choose medical professor because of the salary) so maybe I don’t want that because I personally don’t wanna do like medical school, MCAT, residency and all that!
I like being bold and Kendall Jenner is my role model, like I love being a model but my parents are strict. And also I admire people who have their own business. But when it comes to leadership skills, I am so low at that, like especially communication skills. I am so bad at that, I don’t have any friends that I could talk about this to! That’s why I’m asking you guys, who have experience, and everything. Please tell me anything, I would really appreciate that!! This is something that I really wanted to ask someone because I am a high school senior and my parents are nagging me saying that people my age have figured out at least what they wanna major in. Because of all the confusion, I thought about coping my sister who wanna be a doctor.

Hello friends, it's high time I find help on this coz it's draining my energy, thinking and my ambitions in life. 4 months ago I got a job offer from a certain institution (banking sector), I was working on a permanent job at a certain parastatal institution and I have worked there almost 3 years, I have seen all my friends I started with getting promoted to higher positions while I was left out and caged coz of how working hard I was. Now through all the toxicity and also the work environment which is mostly influenced by politics I accepted the job offer at the private institution.
4 months now my mind keeps hammering me with the ideas that I made a bad decision switch and when I see how my previous work place things have changed it keeps stressing me out, and the hard part is the job I was working at that parastatal is the same job am working at the bank but my career dreams is to work in different sector like data analysis, monitoring and evaluation, research, project officer which I know am good at depending on the level of knowledge I have and also my bachelors..
Since switching I haven't been more happier and I have always have stressed on what if I lose this job coz due to stress and depression I tend to procrastinate and also look back to wer I was, asking myself questions like what if I stayed myb could have got promoted since now they are more internal vacancies to that previous institution I was working...
I really need help on how I can stop looking back and focus on my current job and also if there is anyone who come across this scenario, your help will much be appreciated.
Hey everyone,
I'm 32, no kids, no college degree (just a high school diploma), and I have an old felony from 2013 on my record alongside a few misdemeanors.
I grew up in an upper-middle-class family where everyone has prestigious, important careers. Looking at them makes me realize how badly I've screwed up my own life. I've spent years just drifting, but I want to turn things around and actually build a stable future.
Given my background and my record, what are some realistic, felony-friendly career paths I can start pursuing from scratch? Has anyone else successfully rebuilt their life after a rough start?
Thanks in advance.
I also have some misdemeanors as well. I grew up in a family who was upper middle class, and now I’m realizing how bad I screwed up in life. My family all have important jobs. What can I do with my life at this point for a career/ decent money?
I saw the writing on the wall as I started to fail a Java programming class and withdrew from it. I was recommended to try a class related to SQL next semester.
Is it that much more approachable compared to Java programming? I wasn't prepared for how deep Java programming was before I took the course. It was too much and overwhelmed me.
I still need to take four programming classes though for my major. What do you think of SQL?
i need to start thinking about what kind of job i would like or try to get one or maybe just some experiences. but i have NO idea what i want to do, or how i will work it out. i still have like 8 months before i need to get to it, but i would like to start thinking ahead. here are a few things about me, and if anyone has any advice i would be extremely grateful.
things i love: -animals -drawing/ painting/ creating, but i think mostly as a hobby -being outdoors/nature -helping people -talking to and meeting new people -learning new skills, like languages/ cooking -trying different things, like food or hobbies -insightful conversation rather than small talk -psychology, philosophy
things i don't mind: -commuting -making big decisions
things i dislike (the idea of...): -being behind a computer all day -a monotonous job -hating my job -working from home
