Last fall I started an AA in digital media and got a part time job doing video editing at my college. It's fine for the time being but I'm realizing that working on a computer all day is absolutely soul crushing for me. I think I made a mistake picking my major and don't know what to do. I want to do something tangible and fulfilling (I used to build and fix guitars in my spare time) but also don't want to do backbreaking manual labor 50+ hours like all the trade jobs around here want you to do. I tried going to trade school before but couldn't find anything I liked. what do? submitted by /u ..read more

I've worked in the IT service field for about 5+ years. I've been in school for a long time but plan to finish in 2026 with a BS in IT (with focus in web development).

I've come up with the plan to create several projects with repositories for the rest of th ..read more

Hi! I’m currently in my third year of university (UK), as an undergraduate studying Biological Sciences with a focus on genetics. I am planning on studying a masters in September, most probably Cancer Sciences MRes (as that is what I’m most interested in). I was wondering, what sort of career paths would this put me on.

I really want to work for within industry doing genetic research but not sure how to get there, is my current ..read more

I (19 M) am currently at a community college getting my associates in computer science. To be honest I don’t know if I want to continue. It sounds so stupid but is there anything more hands on that is just as versatile and high paying. To be honest I’m not the best student but I do want to go to college as I really have nothing outside of college to fall back on. But I just need some help finding a career I look forward to or something I am at least kind of cool with doing for the rest of my life. I understand that there probably isn’t a job that will keep me up at night out is excitement but ..read more
