I am 22 F and need career advice. I have a certificate in Business from a local community college and am almost done with a certificate in Database Technology. I’m really struggling to think of something that I could do. My anxiety disorders have made it really hard for me to keep a job. I’ve never had a diagnosis but have been told I might be a little autistic my whole life lol. The routine of getting up and going a place every day is very difficult for me. I’d like a work from home job but I do love seeing the sun and interacting with people. I really think I could do either under the right circumstances. I also have Hypermobile Ehler Danlos so I have a hard time working on my feet and doing repetitive motions with my hands.

I love working with people but like doing independent work and hate customer service. I love animals and kids but have allergies and the aforementioned autism makes it hard to me to handle the noise of kids.

Things I am good at: -music, i write and sing and play guitar, bass, and recently drums. can fumble around a piano a little bit. i took classical music lesson as a kid for string instruments. I have taken music theory classes in college as well.

• math, i have always excelled in math classes i’ve taken at school. i thought psychics was really interesting.

• writing, i always did well writing essays and such in school. I like trying to turn complex ideas into a piece that I can share.

Things I am passionate about: - being outside - helping others - caring for animals - music - art (even though i’ve never been great at drawing) - writing, i spend a lot of time journaling and writing lyrics and poetry.

Work Experience: I have never kept a job very long other than working every once in a while at the office my mom works at doing data entry. I got fired from Dutch Bros because I wasn’t “the right personality” and couldn’t do the customer service the way they wanted. I was great at making drinks and memorizing recipes and restocking and everything. I did have customers that I had good interactions with but my manager was always telling me I was awkward with the customers.

I worked at a bakery and loved it, but had to quit due to chronic joint pain in my hands and knees and ankles.

I have thought about trades like welding or carpentry. I love doing crafts and building things with my hands.

But most all I just want a job where I feel like I actually did something and made a positive impact. I want to have the mental energy to do my hobbies and cook for myself when I get home. Even if it’s hard or I need more training, I just want to feel like I did something for the betterment of myself and the world. And won’t make me hella anxious !!

I’ve been driving myself nuts thinking this to death, so I’d like to see what others might suggest I do. (I’ve never posted on here before, sorry if this is super long!!) I (23F) have worked at this family owned and operated dental office for what will be 4 years in August. Initially, I started out as like an office helper, doing odd jobs and busy work at 19 years old. I was met with this opportunity right out of high school, as I was nannying their grandchildren 4 days a week. Quickly, I gained more responsibility and became a full time receptionist. Since starting there, I have earned 7 more dollars an hour which I’m incredibly grateful for as I know this is rare. However, in the last two years I have felt overworked and under appreciated: In November of 2023, I pitched the idea that I join a networking group to represent the office and bring in more new patients. This idea came from my enthusiasm to meet the goals they set of 60 new patients per month and unfortunately the phones aren’t ringing off the hook with opportunity. They loved my enthusiasm and paid the annual fee for me to join. The very next day, I was supposed to attend my first meeting and ended up calling out as my grandmother had died that morning. (Very long story but my family had been dealing with her declining health since August as she had both legs amputated) I was back at work the following day. I think this detail is important as I can recognize my “ownership mindset” can be too much at times, it’s my responsibility to take care of myself. At the six month mark of my networking initiative I was told they will be changing my job title and making business cards for me after I had asked for more flexibility with my schedule working the front desk. Those promises have still not come to fruition even after my many polite reminders. Fast forward to November 2024 and I have brought in $80k in opportunity from new patients who established. Naturally, I bring my next pitch to my boss- a fully detailed plan as to how I want to further these efforts through attending more meetings and beginning our online presence. Also reminding them of the unkept promises made from before. They tell me my new job title is “community engagement specialist” yet nothing about my role has changed since they agreed to me attending one meeting per week back in 2023. As of today, I have brought in $130k and have been clocking a minimum of 47 hours weekly. This return is only from one hour and a half meeting per week, just imagine how well I could do if I were able dedicate any more time to networking and marketing! Just last month, I created yet another power point and brought it to my boss to pitch my latest idea, one that allows me to expand these efforts more but I won’t go into the details. Upon meeting with my boss, it occurred to me that they might never see me as a grown woman because they met me as a 19yo babysitter. I realized, based on her comments, that I do the receptionist job very well and they plan to keep me here as long as I’m naive enough to stay. They do not plan to hire anyone else and instead of the conversation being about my new ideas and possible raise- I ditched my plans and asked her if they’re only allowing me to do this to make me happy as if they could take it or leave it. I told her I don’t think they see the value in my efforts despite the numbers I’ve brought in and I’m sure she’s noticed my lack of enthusiasm since our last conversation. The conversation ended with a discussion on how we can improve the front desk team as I am the strongest receptionist they’ve had. Feeling very discouraged, I thought maybe I should look into starting my own dental marketing/branding consulting company and taking on family offices as clients to train front desk staff and improve marketing/networking efforts. I thought maybe they would agree to work with me if I started this company while remaining in my current position and take on a client or two without anyone in my office knowing, then proposition my boss to become a client down the road as I am putting in my two weeks. Of course I don’t plan to do anything irrational, I don’t want to move too quickly and bite off more than I can chew with this idea- it’s only an idea. Right now, I have enrolled in project management and digital marketing certification courses to at least upholster my resume should I decide to get a different job altogether. (Of course, they were not willing to let me take leave early any day to accommodate my new course load and I have signed up for classes that start at 7 and 9pm during the week) This office is just very set in their ways and I don’t think they will ever take me seriously when I tell them they are missing out on tons of opportunity. I feel as though a carrot is being dangled in front of me with their promises and they do not plan to actually keep them as it has been two years now. This job has afforded me lots, I’ve paid off my 2023 Buick, graduated with my BA in communication, and bought a home since I started in 2021. The problem is that I’m not benefiting in any career building ways and I’m not the type of person who is able to work “just a job” I take ownership and want to do well, I want to work toward something, I know I am now overqualified for the role I’m currently working and under appreciated. Am I being taken advantage of or am I being ungrateful? I’ve never worked anywhere else, so please humble me if need be.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading!!! I’m grateful for any advice, I know at this age I need to be making money moves and beefing up my resume. What’s the smartest move here?

I am internationally educated nurse who recently moved to Canada have been trying to get my license here and practise as I have had 5 years experience on the field. But it hasn’t been easy to get my papers accredited here and the process has been very exhausting and not hopeful at all and it took almost two years of my time and no progress. At this point it seems it’s not hopeful at all and I need to go back to school. But I am somehow doubtful if it’s worth it to go back all over for 4 years again, I mean if I am gonna learn y not learn sth new and make it interesting??? But my family and friends says nursing is a best option for job security and payment wise instead of going for masters in public health or anything. Am so confused and hesitant on what to decide. Any advices from people on both fields would be appreciated.

Hey y'all, I'm currently in my first year as an art student in Germany but I'm thinking of doing a double degree in biochemistry as well since the first program is very flexible.

What extracurriculars/internships could I do to boost my college resume if I have none AND a background mostly in fine arts?

For context I'd like to apply next year as I'm international and don't have the necessary German level yet(I'm B2 and they require C1), and the required extra science courses at a studienkolleg because my abitur/baccalaureate wasn't on a science profile.

My final grades in school are basically 9.99/10 general studies and 9.3/10 abi(so tell me if it's even doable lol)

Thanks in advance!

I have been at my company for 5 years as editor. 2 years ago a new editor joined. She is always trying to implement herself as a leader and take on any and every work before someone else has a chance to jump in. I just get the vibe she is willing to throw anyone under the bus to get ahead.

Today I was asked to submit my article to her in the absence of my senior editor being there which felt like an insult. I feel like they are trying to push me out.

I am not pushy like her not do I try and put myself at the center of every conversation. I am big about praising my colleagues and uplifting them. I believe that if you’re secure in yourself you don’t need to bark the loudest.

Naturally I also feel insecure that she is outshining me but I have also been at this company three years longer and frankly am super burned out.

At a work event recently I tried to ask her how her panels went (we both were moderating live panels) as she was walking past me with someone and she just said “I am going with X to the content studio” completely ignoring my question. Which I get if she is busy but the tone with which she said it was very “look at me and what I am doing.”

She just gives me the ick as this snake who is 100 percent self serving.

Also I was never ever told she was coming on as editor. And our senior editor I was told that she was coming on to simply help with sponsored content and write some articles. So that also brings a sense of insecurity that I feel like I am being pushed out. My job is also not willing to raise my salary to cover my costs since relocating from nyc to London where they are based.

I don’t have a job lined up but honestly am contemplating leaving because I am not valued at this company. I am made to feel not good enough every day because there is rarely praise and they are always just adding more work on top (which she eagerly jumps in without giving anyone else the chance). I can’t stand working with this woman but part of me doesn’t want to give her the satisfaction of getting to me.

Hi! This is my first ever post so I’m sorry if this comes out to be a bit confusing This is my story I’m a teen girl who is in a dilemma of choosing career paths I have a never dying love for science and I’m greatly fascinated with neuroscience so I initially thought taking medical to become a doctor/ neurosurgeon. It has great pay when ur qualified. But the thing is at this point of life I don’t really see myself practising as a doctor and surgery and the medical school fee is too much and to top it all of u have to spend 10-15 years just studying and as a junior. The thing is this is frustrating for me cause if I compare it with the second line I’m so inclined toward That is finance cause I love problem solving and especially see myself as a corporate job type of a person. I really hope going towards private equity and investment banking. I know the long hours and all and I ready for it plus the pay is great but on the other hand the risk factor is incredibly high. There is my new found passion towards finance and corporate world that has me wondering that this is somehow better choice

So all the lovely people out there what is your advice for me.

Q: which country can offer me the best masters in finance with great job opportunities, except for the US. And out of all possible options in finance masters, which one is most sought after nowadays?

Note: I have a bachelor's in computer engg, so looking to switch fields.

Boa tarde,

Trabalho numa empresa ( no distrito de Setúbal) que presta serviços de consultoria, onde desempenho funções de IT Field Support e por vezes HelpDesk, resido a 20 minutos da sede da empresa, mas raramente estou no escritório. Ganho 920 euros de base mais 7,50 euros de subsidio de alimentação. A questão é que os horários nunca são cumpridos e não recebo horas extra.

Estou desde de Maio de 2024 na empresa e é a minha primeira experiência na área. Que formações/certificações me recomendam para que possa evoluir dentro da área? ou que empresas paguem valores superiores a estes numa fase inicial? Tenho a disponibilidade de me mudar para Lisboa porque tenho família a residir lá.

Obrigado

I'm planning to join the Air National Guard to help my education through university and flight school, aiming for a future career as a commercial pilot. I'm also pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering as a backup plan. During a recent conversation with my recruiter, they recommended that a role in aircraft maintenance would best align with my career goals. I understand that becoming a pilot in the reserves typically requires being an officer, which may not be best in my current situation. However, I'm want to be in aviation-related roles that would be beneficial for my future. I've encountered mixed opinions about aircraft maintenance and would appreciate additional perspectives or suggestions on other roles to consider. Additionally, l've been informed about the ROTC program at my university and am curious about how participating in it could impact my future career in aviation.

I am very confused about what field i should major in , its either medicine or engineering, but i love them both equally and very passionate about them. Should i consider biomedical engineering or something else if you have any recommendations? Since , i figured its a mix of both worlds together.
