I’m about to start College and I’m clueless as to what I want to do career-wise. I know that I’ve still got time, but if I don’t start looking I feel like I’m going to run out. I’m very interested in music and would maybe like to do something with that.

I want to go to a college without any religious affiliation, but some of the colleges I am looking at are affiliated with a different religion. What does this mean? Are most students there going to be of that religion? Will that impact me if I do apply/attend that school?

SKH asked:


I am currently in my senior year in High School, and am curious in regards to genetic engineering.

What college classes do I have to take to enter the field of Genetic Engineering? Preferably human genetic engineering, but I am not sure if that requires the same classes to be taken as other genetic engineering fields.

Thank you very much for all the help!

Umi asked:


What kinds of college classes should i take in order to become a Zookeeper?

Or are there any well known Schools/Colleges that focas on it?

Chris asked:


I have currently taken all classes that are required to take the MCATs, and I see no point in wasting four years in college repeating such courses. The only field I am not familiar with is premedical studies, which medical schools do not require.

Is it possible to apply for medical school this senior year? I am an International Baccalaureate student in Chicago, and I should be filling out applications for college soon.

Lastly, if anyone knows what steps are necessary to attend medical school as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Our class is preparing for college. For the college essay, we are told to write about someone/ something/ an event that has influenced you and made you into who you are. If this is what we write for college essay, then what is a personaly statement? What should I write for it? Are they the same thing?

paintgirl asked:


I will be going back to school in the fall for my Masters in Fine Art. I would like to teach at the college level when I’m finished. I know plenty of professors who have enough professional experience to begin teaching with only a Bachelor’s degree. I have worked in my field for over 10 years. How do you seek a professor job? It’s not as if those types of jobs are posted. Would you contact the college directly and send a resume? Is there a place where these types of things are advertised? Can I start teaching while studying for my Masters?
