Question: I have always loved the sciences and feel a real calling to go to Medical School. I have no idea what I want to specialize in and I would like to get a better idea of what I’m in for regarding med school as well as a day-in-the-life of a doctor. Can you recommend any good internet resource to get more information about this?
Question: What’s the difference between a Registered Nurse and a Licensed Practical Nurse?
Question: For the past six months, I've been thinking that I would major in history and pursue a career teaching history in high school. However, recently I've been seriously thinking about a career in politics, not as a politician, but working on the staff of one, perhaps working toward becoming a chief of staff to some senator or representative. I could always pursue my teaching career later if the politics thing doesn't pan out, but I feel like my priority should be politics first, because I assume it is easier to become a teacher later on, than to enter the political world after 10 years of teaching high school.
I was wondering what types of jobs are there in the field of politics besides being a politician, and what exactly is required to get a start? Some friends are pushing me to do law school after undergrad, which is a possibility, but I feel as though a double major in history and political science (what I'm currently thinking about), plus a few internships along the way, should be enough to get me started. Then it seems it's all about performance and connections.
Question: I am a 10th grade student and absolutely love science. I am in my school's Biotech program and have already taken Environmental Science, Biology, and Chemistry. What kinds of careers are best for me and to both enjoy and make a good amount of money when I get older? Should I be taking any specific science classes that might be useful to me in the future and are certain science classes more important than other for knowledge of today's fields in science? What colleges or universities are well-known for their science programs? - Gatorman
Question: Some schools offer masters of human resources -- would this be a good idea? Do certain fields require HR people with experience in that field?
Question: What are the various specialties within the Human Resources field?
Question: What can I do with a liberal arts degree?
Question: How do I get experience at a company in a field I want to explore? What is the right time to begin getting this kind of experience?
Question: What’s the best way to find out about how much people make in specific jobs?
