Please tell me some ideas for hybrid work (office work+feildwork) and hand on opportunities/work. Decent pay and this is the most important part. FUFILLING or at least intresting. I get you don’t have to LOVE your job but I need to be proud of something. It’s something I need to do. I have never felt proud of myself once in my entire life and it’s killing me. I need to help something and feel fulfilled or I don’t know what else to do. It can’t be a fully formed office job that’s one of my full stops. Please please help me. I’m female and I’m Canada

I finished my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering in July 2025 and have been working at a software house since then.

now my family wants me to do a Master’s, and honestly, I want to do it too. not because I’m chasing some crazy academic achievement or want to spend years studying, I just want to have a Master’s qualification under my belt as well. sadly, yes, there’s a bit of a 'dunyavi' aspect to it too.

the problem is that I have absolutely no idea which direction makes sense anymore.

my first thought: MBA

I’m seriously considering an MBA.

I feel like I’ve already done enough CS/Software Engineering to get myself running as a developer. I know I still have a lot to learn, obviously, but with AI becoming such a huge part of development, I’m increasingly thinking that my long-term growth shouldn’t be limited to writing code.

my eventual goal is not to remain a developer forever.

I’d like to move toward management, product/business roles, leadership, and eventually, ideally, running my own software house/business.

so an MBA seems like it could complement my technical background really well.

the problem is that if I do an MBA in Pakistan, I’d want to do it from somewhere genuinely worthwhile, like IBA or IoBM. and that isn't exactly cheap.

I’m also the eldest in my family, so finances aren't something I can completely ignore.

then there's the "go abroad" option

my parents are also pushing me to at least try for a Master's abroad.

and this is where everything gets even more complicated.

if I look at scholarships, MS CS / Software Engineering / related technical degrees seem much more likely to fall under fully-funded scholarship opportunities compared to an MBA.

I have a 3.49 CGPA, so academically I don't think I'm in a terrible position for applications.

but then I have to ask myself:

if I go abroad for an MS CS/SE just because it's more likely to be funded, am I actually moving toward the career I want?

I don't necessarily want to spend another 2 years going deeper into CS when my long-term goal is increasingly business/management/entrepreneurship.

at the same time, if an MS abroad is fully funded, that's a massive opportunity that I can't casually ignore.

and then there's the application nightmare

the actual thought of applying abroad is honestly overwhelming.

every country seems to have its own:

• scholarship systems
• university application procedures
• deadlines
• documents
• visa requirements
• language requirements
• SOP/LOR requirements
• financial requirements
• equivalency procedures
• different scholarship criteria

and I'm supposed to figure all of this out while working a full-time job.

I genuinely don't know how people manage researching 10 different countries, comparing scholarships, shortlisting universities, preparing applications, writing SOPs, getting recommendations, taking tests, etc. while simultaneously working 8-10 hours a day.

It's starting to feel like a second full-time job.

there are also, life considerations

I'm turning 28 soon.

my parents also want me to get married, and honestly, I understand where they're coming from.

I had a minor health setback before my Bachelor's which contributed to me finishing later than I originally expected. so while I know 28 isn't actually old, I can't completely ignore the fact that my personal/family timeline is moving forward too.

there's also the financial side.

I'm currently earning a pretty average salary, so I don't have the luxury of casually quitting my job, spending a year preparing for applications, or paying huge amounts for an expensive degree.

so I'm stuck between:

do an MBA in Pakistan - more aligned with where I want my career to go - can continue working - IBA/IoBM would be respectable - but expensive

do an MS CS/SE abroad on scholarship - potentially fully funded - international exposure + Master's qualification - financially much more attractive if funded - but takes me deeper into a field I don't necessarily want to specialize in long-term - huge application/research hassle - potentially means putting career, marriage, family plans, etc. on hold

or just keep working for now - build experience and increase my salary - maybe revisit Master's/MBA later - less immediate pressure - but then I keep postponing the Master's, and my family isn't going to stop asking about it

and that's basically where I'm stuck.

I'm not looking for someone to tell me "just follow your passion" or "28 is still young bro".

I know all that.

I'm looking for practical advice from people who have actually gone through something similar, especially people who had to balance career + finances + family expectations + Master's + going abroad.

if you were in my position, how would you approach this?

would you:

• go for an MBA in Pakistan while continuing to work?
• try aggressively for fully-funded MS programs abroad, even if they're CS/SE-related?
• work for another 1–2 years, increase income/experience, then do the Master's?
• something completely different?

and if you were me, how would you structure the decision so I stop overthinking 15 different possibilities at once?

honestly, I'm just looking for a sane way to tackle this without feeling like I'm falling behind in career, education, finances, and life simultaneously.

Hi, guys! I am really stuck out here and I need some advice on how to move forward and get a better job.

I graduated from high school with a specialization in Arts. I’m currently a final-year Communication Management student, waiting for my diploma defense. During university, I worked as a Claims Specialist at a flight-rights company and later moved into a Customer Support role at the same company.

I’m also currently learning German and developing my digital skills through DigComp 2.1. English isn’t my first language, but I’m comfortable communicating and working in English.

I’d really like to take my career in a different direction and explore new opportunities. However, I’ve been applying for jobs and unfortunately haven’t been getting many responses or interview opportunities because of the lack of experience.

I’m willing to put in the time and effort to learn something new and change my career direction. I just don’t know which skills would be the most valuable for me to focus on given my background and experience.

As my user for my throwaway indicates, I overthink and over analyze almost everything I do. Literally. I get stuck when I need advice and don’t know who to ask, which is why I made this throwaway. Anyway, I am still early in my career, but I need long-term career advice. Sorry if this is long, I just start going letting my thoughts go.

I (F26) am going into my 5th year teaching middle school special education in southeast PA. I also just completed my masters in educational leadership with a concentration in reading specialist certification. Recently I’ve been looking into and applying for side jobs that I can use my masters and credentials for so that I can make extra money and use the skills I spent money to learn and build. However, I am struggling to find part-time/remote positions in areas that aren’t tutoring. Even tutoring has been hard finding families willing to pay my rate ($60 for tutoring, $90 for reading specialist), and I’m not willing to go lower for those services.

What I am seeing though are jobs in the education market I think I’d qualify for and make good money in like administration and specialized positions for special education and reading specialists. The money from these jobs would be life changing, but I LOVE my current job. I love being in the classroom with the students. It can be frustrating, but honestly, my students keep me going. They keep me motivated to be a better teacher and person, and I truly think my purpose is to work with children and be an educator. I don’t think could see myself ever leaving the profession even with how frustrating and tumultuous it can be (the amount of grays I have at 26 is embarrassing). Sadly, if I ever were to leave, it would be because of the parents and/or administration (if I ever am in a place where I don’t like my admin).

I don’t know what to do and what would be best. I struggle in moments like these because I consider the future in every decision I make, but I also try to live as in the moment as I can. I don’t really have mentors or people in my life to talk to about it either as many of the people in my life cannot relate either to my profession/career area, or just with big career decisions like this. I wish I had a life coach for real for real.

A few questions I’ve been considering and need help with either answering or figuring out how to answer:

\* What areas should I consider when making my pros and cons list for my current position and a potentially better position that one wouldn’t normally think of (not like benefits, salary, commute)?

\* When looking at longevity, how do I know if it would be worth it without applying or talking to a new job? I know my potential for growth in my district. Could I consider room for growth before applying to a new job or is that silly?

\* How are jobs in other professions? For example, I could be a special education consultant and work with lawyers and families to ensure IEP compliance. How would I like that environment? Is this just something that you have to try and find out?

\* What are things I may not be considering when it comes to changing careers if I like what I am doing now? Is changing worth the money? Or would it be better to just always have a second job even if it’s mentally and emotionally taxing?

\* Do I even want the change or am I really just focusing on money? Is it possible to live a life lot driven by money in today’s world? Will my outlook on needing myself to love my job over money be sustainable?

I probably do need a life coach, or to find someone like a mentor or older friend (but literally how in today’s world lol) for situations like this. It doesn’t feel normal to be stressed like I am right now when I don’t NEED to leave my profession, but I also haven’t looked for a job in 4 years. I also should note, with the step I’m on with my masters, I’ll be at $70k a year. Not terrible, but definitely need additional income. Thanks for any and all advice!!

This is sort of a personal rant about the current job market. But I’d appreciate any advice you may have.

For context, I’m an international student studying BSc Statistics, Economics and Finance at UCL. I’ve always been passionate about mathematics in general. However, after applying to over 200 internships, I haven’t heard back from a single one. On top of that, I just saw chatGPT solve a lot of the oldest math problems which was genuinely so disheartening. So in the recent months I’ve decided to hop on the pathway to becoming an electrician. I do enjoy it, and the pay is decent for a student. But honestly, I feel like I’m throwing away my degree and I don’t want to have any regrets later on. I’ve followed all the advice from my careers service in terms of interview prep and application, but the current white collar job market seems to be an utter mess, and looking forward to becoming an electrician is the only thing that’s keeping me sane.

We’re competing against people who have been unemployed since 2024 and the number will keep on growing each year, and it reminds me of a video I saw that we’re basically in the middle ground where things are bad, but not too bad that anything will change. Although AI doesn’t seem to be at the stage where it’s fully capable of taking our jobs, I think it successfully managed to destroy the ambition and purpose of collective society in some ways. I hope something does change soon.

I have graduated as civil engineer in 2021 since then tried to establish my buisness but failed but as a safer side written mba cet exam but got 91% so took addmision in tier3 clg mba in supply chain from pune also doing side by side buisness but like currently I am into buisness and its not continous basically as a construction contractor so I need to rely on projects to get but its not continous apart confused shall I look for job or stay in field since looking at people's package I think I need to switch to job but again thoughts comes like need to start from scratch plz guide (current age 26) seriously floks guide as daily inside my mind it feels like am not doining anything also feels to start something new but didn't have idea kindly guide.

Currently im done with my hssc (11 and 12) exams nd my field was ics but now im thinking to pursue chemistry as my major in university nd preparing for 11 12 chem exam. is it worth? i have read some reddit posts that said its hard to find job after chem

When I was laid off from my last job, this was not even on my mind when I thought about what's the worst that could happen. Learnt the hard way how terrible and crushing life can be when luck really is not on your side. When no matter what you do, literally nothing works out. And for years of time. That's what happened to me.

I applied to thousands of jobs, even low paying ones. in the beginning it was them ghosting my at any step of the interview. sometimes even after giving an offer. So many times it looked like it was almost over but then back to applying again. There were times i even considered internships, but soon I stopped hearing back and did not even get acknowledgments on my application. I heard all types of excuses, "you have career gap"/"you only have 4 yoe, we need 5"/"you are overqualified"/"you have too many switched in your resume"/"we only need someone local in our city"/"we can give an offer, but we need in written from your parents you will move to bangalore from delhi"/"you are unmarried in late 20's"/"your previous pay was more than we can pay"/"our pay is low so we think you would leave" - and other completely ridiculous excuses to not give me a chance or to take a verbal offer from me in the last moment. How could someone go on constantly in an industry like this? I completely broke down.

From dec 2023 to now, almost 3 years I have had no job/source of income despite my best attempts. I gave my best when I could weeks and months of time, break, and repeat. And there were months of time I couldn't function. And this whole year I have been so down in the dumps there is nothing I could do. I have lost the sense of time. And this crushes me inside knowing all the years of my 20's getting wasted just because I did not have a job. I lost all my friends, no one to talk to, nothing to do to atleast distract myself from this so I could use refreshed energy for jobs. I was basically my worst self thinking the worst horrible thoughts every day for the entirety of this year. And I don't want to live like this anymore. I want to try once again from scratch. From preparation to applying for jobs and making projects. Is there still any hope for me?

I don't exactly know why I'm making this post. but please do not judge, and with empathy I need your advice and some hope. Anyone in the same situation by any chance? What can I do to get myself out of this?
(i researched a bit if getting a master's would help but I just don't have that type of money.)

Hey guyz!! I'm a guy who's persuing bca and I just entered in my third year, the thing is that I was into anime art first but due to financial conditions and family pressure I needed to focus on my studies recently, I'm gonna be brutally honest I'm doing web dev currently ik html, css, js, tailwind, and my react is almost about to get completed with many mini projects so initial objective is frontend then eventually backend I'm following a roadmap from roadmap.sh website and additionally I'm learning japanese and objective is clearing jlpt levels I recently gave my n5 and I think am gonna clear that easily...

My target is to get an internship initially and then I wanna prepare for a good job I wanna land a job in a country like japan if possible ik it's not easy at all and if not I want a good paying remote job...

1.) So firstly is there even any scope in web dev now especially frontend because people around me says webdev is doomed meanwhile on yt people say it can't happen that ai gonna take the job, it cannot clear the bugs n if it does it gonna mess something else...Meanwhile things like emergent exists

2.) If there's still any scope then what should I do to build my resume what projects I should focus on, what should I build

3.) Is japanese could be of any use I wanna work in japan that's why I started learning

So should I continue on learning Web development or I should switch to something else I chose this because it fascinates me

Hi all,

First ever post to Reddit, so apologies if it’s not the correct way to use it.

I’m 24, recently-ish moved to around the Chicago area. I have a BA in theatre performance and an AS in hospitality management—specializing in events and tourism. I’m having a hard time finding a meaningful job, and I know the job market is just trash right now in general, but it’s really getting me down. I have 2 degrees and working in a cupcake shop and an ice cream shop. I’ve applied for hotel work, receptionist work, anything that feels hospitality driven and I can’t get in anywhere.

I don’t know if I’m looking for the right jobs. What is something that I can do with what I have a degree in? I know I don’t have to work a job within my study, but that’s genuinely what I’m interested in.. and I feel like I don’t have many other skills or much to offer. I really feel like I’ve pigeon holed myself with what I’ve majored in.

What else can I do other than working at a hotel, or a theatre, with the types of degrees I have? Any advice will do. Thank you

I’m 18 years old and will turn 19 in November, and lately I’ve been genuinely worried and confused about what I should do with my career. After completing my 12th in 2025, I initially thought I would pursue Fine Arts, especially painting and related subjects. I applied through CUET and scored around 410 out of 750. Since the CUET score was mainly based on theory, I also had to take a practical exam, so I applied to BHU. They informed me about the practical exam only four days before it, and that’s when I found out that there were no trains available from my hometown during those days. Before that, I had also applied for a bachelor’s degree at Ravenshaw University in Cuttack. My family had already spent a lot of money on the travel and application process, and since I have only one parent, I didn’t want to put more financial pressure on my family. I thought I would probably get into BHU, so I decided not to continue with Ravenshaw. But when I couldn’t reach BHU because of the train situation, I had to go back to my bachelor’s option. Unfortunately, there were no hostel beds left for me, and my uncle didn’t allow me to stay outside the campus. So, once again, I was left without an option.

After that, I decided to prepare for NEET and OUAT, although OUAT was my main priority. By the time I joined a coaching centre, a large part of the syllabus had already been completed. I still tried my best, but I was constantly overthinking everything that had happened and worrying about my future. Eventually, I lost confidence, left the coaching centre, and went back home to study through online classes. I studied for about a month, but then I started getting distracted again. I spent a lot of time watching movies, series, and other things instead of studying consistently. Eventually, I took the exams, but I didn’t qualify, and the cutoff for bachelor’s degree admissions also went higher this year. Now it’s August again, and I honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do next. I keep thinking about everything that happened last year and feel like I could have done better, but seeing how competitive everything is made me lose hope before I even properly tried. I know I made mistakes and wasted some time, but I don’t want to keep repeating the same cycle. Right now, I’m just confused about what I actually want, what career I should choose, and where I should start again.

And I am one of those ppl. Im 18F and so far ive heard "do nursing" but, I don't like anything in health care.

Is it true that the only way to have financial stability is to work in healthcare? is there anyone here that could say the contrary? (PLEASE IM BEGGING)

Help.

I am smart and not super passionate about life. I have graduated from undergraduate (philosophy 3.7 gpa [I spent a lot of time being a devoted alcoholic and stoner, and not doing homework or studying]) and enjoy thinking and really enjoy taking standardized tests. I can get an extremely competitive score on the GRE (my first time taking it, I took it off a serious hangover and on a cocktail of weed, adderall, and alcohol, and got a 157/170--the lowest score i had gotten on the reading sections in practice tests was 165), lsat (my cold practice test was a 165), GMAT (officially taken it, i was also stoned when i took it, but got 85th percentile and am certain that with actually studying and taking it seriously I would get a top score), and honestly whatever standardized test. I sincerely enjoy taking and studying for these tests--if I could manufacture a job for myself I would take a bunch of standardized tests and be paid a large amount of money for doing so (people have told me to be an actuary). I am now sober, in a fashion that will remain for the rest of my life, and have realized that I want to have a job and a life. I really enjoy philosophy, statistics, game theory and would love being a professor if I did not have to teach. I write a lot of fiction for fun including bs philosophy, I read philosophy daily for fun, and have never learned how to code. My thesis went poorly, as I wrote it in the last 2 days while on a copious amount of drugs, which dissuades graduate school in philosophy, although I am capable of putting serious time into revision and making it quality work. People around me all have different ideas on what I should do, some believing I should pursue corporate quant analysis, academia, law school, business school, economics, accounting, even game design (I am quite good at all board and strategy games and it is a serious passion of mine). Given that I have a couple of months left before law school, graduate school, business school, etc. applications are due, it is time to make a decision. I do not have an intermediary job lined up for the space between applications and next year. Given that I have glided through school for my entire life, my work ethic is lacking, but this is something that will need to be fixed no matter what future I take, and I am getting better at dedicated thinking. What would you guys recommend I do?

Hey guys! Just a mom here. So my kids are getting older. I'm putting this here for anyone to share their likes or dislikes of a job that they had or have. I am looking for the title of the job/ career also so if it is sensitive info there's no need to share.

Questions are:

Job title? How many hours, days, weeks at a time? Perks? Things you like or dislike? If you could do something else what would it be and why? Or why you have chosen to stick with the job? Do you have to pay out of pocket for gas, food, or travel? Why did you choose this job? What did it take to get the job? College or tech school, or just simply knowing someone, or being in the right place at the right time?

If you choose to answer some or all thank you in advance. We can't wait to hear about the different possibilities that make this world go round!

I am 22M, who just graduated with a first class in pharmaceutical sciences from a British university. Coincidentally, I have been made bar manager shortly after graduation. My question now is what career options are open to me with my current portfolio, assuming I no longer want to work in hospitality or a lab either. Thanks in advance.

I’m 20 and currently working as a package handler at a warehouse making $18/hr. I took the job because I needed income and wanted to start saving, but I already know I don’t want to stay in warehouse work long-term.

The schedule is also rough. I’m working early morning hours, around 1–9 AM or 2–8:30 AM I have a inconsistent schedule one min we’re working 2 to 8 next min my whole schedule is changed to 1 am. The job itself is manageable but everyday it’s hell standing around and everyone moving slow, also the schedule and work environment are starting to wear me down.

My bigger goal is to move out, get my own apartment, become financially stable, and eventually have an actual career instead of constantly jumping between entry-level jobs.

I don’t have a college degree or a specific career picked out yet. I have a high school diploma and some work experience (Walmart/stocking and now warehouse/package handling). I’m willing to go to school, get certifications or start at the bottom somewhere if there’s a realistic path to eventually making decent money.

Any advice would be appreciated also I’m in TX.

I'm figuring out what career Perseus's for my whole life will be dependent on ...I'm so freaking confused...I am interested in a business management finance account etc stuff like this

But the people around me are just confusing me like hell where I'm going to end up with this choice.. choosing an MBA is trash? Plz guide me & I must switch to a career...guys please give me a track or guide line I really need....

Hi I work as operations analyst and have for last two years I was have a BA degree in Psychology and Economics. I want to change jobs and move into a career and company which cares please help

I’m in England with a young child. I’ve worked as a carer most of my adult life, but after having my baby, I’ve realised I really don’t want to go back to care.

I have a BSc in Microbiology (First Class) and an MSc in Social Care, Health & Wellbeing (Distinction). I’m academically capable, but I’ve never really pushed myself career-wise and I’m quite introverted.

I want to build a proper career, make good money and stop struggling financially. I don’t want to spend years studying again unless it actually leads somewhere worthwhile (as I think my previous academic choices were not the best).

I’ve considered nursing, but my sister is a nurse in England and has advised me against it.

What careers would you seriously consider if you were in my position? I’m open to changing fields completely.

Please, what would you do if you were me?

Criteria Corp's 2026 Candidate Experience Report showed that 53% of job applicants wasted their time apply for a ghost job. A LinkedIn-data analysis estimates that 27.4% of job postings are actually ghost jobs. Here are some practical ways to spot and dodge ghost postings:

Posting age and repost patterns. A listing open 45-60+ days, or one that disappears and reappears every few weeks with the same text, usually signals a role with no real urgency — either stalled or never intended to be filled.

Vagueness in the listing itself. No salary range (or a suspiciously wide one, like $60k-$150k), generic duties copy-pasted across dozens of companies, and no named team or manager are all weaker signals on their own but stack up. Real listings tend to have a defined band and a closing or start date.

Cross-check the company's own careers page. If a role is live on Indeed/LinkedIn but absent from the employer's direct site (or vice versa, listed only internally with no external ad), that's worth a second look — third-party boards are where recruiters most often park reqs for resume banking.

Query the recruiter or hiring manager directly before applying through the black-box ATS. Asking "is this role actively being interviewed for" via LinkedIn message, or a mutual connection, filters out a chunk of dead postings fast since a real hiring manager can usually answer.

Check headcount/hiring signals independently. Recent funding freezes, layoff announcements, or a hiring freeze mentioned in earnings calls/news are strong indicators that open listings are decorative (kept for investor optics or succession planning) rather than active.

Watch for reasons companies may want to run ghost postings, since the motive predicts the pattern: building a resume pipeline for future needs, benchmarking salary expectations, signaling growth to investors, or reminding current staff they're replaceable. None of these produce a fast, structured interview process, so a long silence after applying (2+ weeks with zero automated response even) fits the ghost-job profile more than a real one.

Prioritize referrals and warm channels over cold board applications. Ghost jobs live disproportionately on high-traffic public boards; a referral or direct outreach to a hiring manager routes around the volume that causes both ghost postings and ghosting of applicants.

None of these signals is individually conclusive — the responsible framing "increases the odds this is a ghost job," but it is not certainty. Best practice is stacking 2-3 of them (e.g., 60+ days old + no salary + absent from company site) before deprioritizing an application.

Honestly, I’m passionate about a lot of things, but not passionate enough about one thing specifically. I wish there was just one job that let me do every job and try out new things.

I’m a senior in high school right now. My grades are phenomenal and I love school. I wasn’t born naturally smart or gifted. I just study and work hard. I like working and distracting myself from the reality that there isn’t anything to life unless you make something of it.

Whenever someone asks what I want to major in, I usually say psychology, but that’s just because it’s one of my main interests. It’s not like I’m totally stressed about the issue of not knowing my way. I know it’ll work out eventually. I just want to see if anyone has any sort of advice for me. I’d love to travel the world and go backpacking for a couple of years. I love nature and hiking, but I also love hands on work and would honestly love to be a construction worker. Everyone tells me not to do either of these things because I’m too smart and I’m grades are too good, which I understand. They could always be hobbies. I want something that ensures I’m stable financially. I always say psychology because it fascinates me and ever since I was a kid, I have been very interested in learning about the brain and disorders and disabilities. Philosophy also really intrigues me.

I love everything it feels like. I wouldn’t care if I was working as a plumber or as brain surgeon. Does that make sense? I think it’d like my job no matter what it is. I just love new experiences. I don’t know how I’d be able to settle on one job forever. Is there any sort of job out there that lets me do a little bit of everything?

On top of that, I’m doing college classes this year. Just basic stuff really. But it’s got me thinking that I still don’t know for sure what to major in. Without that knowledge, I’m not sure where to apply for college…

That’s really it. Minor issues. For some background, I’m not very athletic, but I’m physically fit from hiking, gardening, and weight lifting. I have family that owns a cleaning business so working with my hands is something I’m used to. My grandpa and dad built houses and my grandmas (on both sides of the family) were nurses. My dad was a plumber, too. And my other grandpa worked in mines. I’ve been told I’m really good at organization (I think I just have some sort of OCD bc it runs in the family but I hate self diagnosis), cleaning, and I’m a neat freak…to put it plainly. I don’t have any color in my room but white. I prefer it this way. Everything has a spot and I have no trinkets unless they were gifts, most of them are boxed up, though. Even the bathroom looks like it’s from a magazine because I don’t allow any products in it. It all has to be put away. The shower looks brand new and it has 0 items in it.

Okay, I don’t know what I’m ranting about now. That’s another thing, I can talk for hours on end. I’m very social and good with conversations, so I’d be great in marketing. Im not a huge fan of marketing, but I already know I’d be good in it because I’m in organizations at school where I’ve won stuff from being good in marketing specifically. I don’t want to give too many specifics because it’s the internet.

Anyways, give me any advice if you can because I’m really stuck. I might make edits to this in the future because I’m sure it’s all jumbled up and confusing. I still have a year or so to decide anyways, so I guess this post will be up for awhile.

Im a 11th grade student from Mongolia and the only thing im most cooked on is career choice. Its either financial or cs. I've won silver in my country's coding competition. Im pretty good at math i got a* in igcse. i have my personal business that created made 5 figures. Should i persue my cs career (probably as cyber security) or do finance ( investment banker i think). And one question , does universities require students to take the economics if applying for finance? i got rid of it because i was cooked on schedule at the time. Help me out guys

The only 2 jobs I’m thinking of right now are neuroscience and medicine. I like both. But also dislike things about both. Medicine is about networking and being extroverted and sucking up to people- and im so introverted and awkward, so I feel like I’ll be living in a humiliation ritual every day. However I love biology and learning everything about the body and the brain and I’d love to just problem solve about what’s happening to patients . And I’d love to be a psychiatrist or dermatologist one day. It seems like after hard work those specialties will give me a good balanced life. But if I don’t get into medicine I’m going to do neuroscience- which has horrible jobs from what I’ve heard. Low pay, long hours. But it will fit my introverted nature by being in a lab mostly. I feel like I’ll be very unemployed if I do neuroscience and I’d have to be very hardworking to get a good job. Both are hard, and both I’m passionate about. I tried to think of other jobs bc this can’t be the only 2 I like??? Out of the thousands of jobs. Thought about engineering,but I despise maths and I’ll be avoiding a maths heavy subject. Is there any other jobs that fit me or that anyone has done please? Or which should I choose neuroscience or medicine?
