I had an interview at a job (Job A) about 2 months ago for a brand new business opening up. I got offered a director position so I’ll be helping the boss, getting paid more than I have before... the only downside is there has been a lot of delays in getting the business actually opened. The owner already has the building and everything is set up and looks great! I’ve been out of work for a month now, waiting to start at this new job. I had another job (Job B) interview last night and got offered the position (getting paid less) but now the original boss at Job A said we should be open next week. Should I wait another week or take the job offer I got last night in case Job A doesn’t actually open?

I’ll try to be brief…
I’m 19, sophomore at a small private christian school. I don’t like it; food sucks, room is small, strict attendance policies, going thousands into debt every year, lots of pointless gen eds.

I like to work and want to work full time, so considering UW’s AACSB accredited BSBA through their Flexible Option program. It’s way cheaper, can live with my dad rent free, can go from part time to full time, can have my car, own room, make my own meals, and make decent money.

The issue is that the current school has a very good regional network; they aren’t known for business but they have great business connections in the region of the US it’s in. UW, despite being a public and better accredited university, doesn’t have the same kind of network here where I live, and even in the Wisconsin area it’s not as strong as my current school is in my location—and being online would mean little to no networking opportunities on top of it.

I’m worried that if I take the bet on myself to find ways to network to get opportunities where I can gain meaningful experience, it won’t work out and I’ll be left with a business administration degree concentrated in business analytics, with no connections for an opportunity to use it, and I’ll be stuck doing unskilled labor like I am right now.

Should I take the bet on myself to improve my quality of life tenfold while also walking away from a well established local network? How hard is it to build meaningful connections with the right people when you do school online and work in a factory? Would I need to get lucky or could I likely make this situation work?

I need to make my decision within a month so time is definitely not on my side…

I have a 30-minute recruiter screening for an SDR role at a software company that sells to spas and med spas.
I’m coming from almost 10 years in esthetics, including sales, client relationships, and management experience. I’m comfortable selling treatments/products and meeting goals, but cold outreach and software sales would be very new to me.

Would love some honest insight:
What should I expect during the recruiter screening?
What does a typical day look like? How much cold calling versus emails and meetings?
How stressful are the quotas and pressure?
What questions should I ask to spot red flags?
What do you wish you’d known before becoming an SDR?
It’s fully remote, base plus commission. I’m interested in the growth potential but want a realistic picture before changing careers.

Keep it real—what makes someone thrive versus burn out?

For some input I have a few options and I generally find interest in business perspective of things

Dentistry; even though I hate my country's path to medicine. While it is slightly more bearable for dentistry, the system is still flawed. I feel like the initial step of writing the competitive exam will be incredibly difficult because Physics is not my strongest subject, and it is a required for the said exam. I do not handle blood well either, so if I do pursue dentistry, I will most likely specialize as an orthodontist. The only reason I am even glancing in this direction is that my mom already owns a clinic, which would make things much easier for me after I finish my bachelor's or master's degree

Management consulting/ Private Equity; This is what I want to truly go after, it's an up or out system, I know how brutal the work life balance is but I want to get into to it to learn about more things and for the exit opportunities. What I'm scared of is considering how shit the job market is right now, will I even get said exit opportunities in consulting? Will starting roles be present after AI takes the grunt work. PE is truly a maybe for me, if I even make it into Management Consulting (hopefully MBB)

Law/ Pilot; This is an absolute if I have no clue sort of option, I was never quite a fan of byhearting and I know if I do get into law I will suffer. But I've always loved researching, always loved finding details in the grunt work and what happened in the said case, loved debating if I ever wanted to go litigation. But again, byhearting sucks. Pilot jobs I can look forward to I like the idea of it, but as I stated before I'm weak in Physics, if I can work on that since Pilot job is just full of physics I can hopefully give it a shot. Thoughts? Sorry it's so long

I’m 25, living in NY, working full-time in security (around $20–23/hr), and currently pursuing an associate degree in **Electrical Engineering Technology (EET)**. I’m expected to graduate in Spring 2028.
I’ve been in and out of college, switched majors multiple times, and struggled with certain math courses, especially Calculus II. I’ve completed Calculus I, Physics I & II, Chemistry I & II, and Statistics, so I do have a decent STEM foundation.
I’m trying to figure out which career path makes the most sense:
**Electrical Engineering Technology:** Finish my associate degree and pursue industrial automation, controls, electrical maintenance, or eventually a bachelor’s in Engineering Technology.
**Technology Management:** Transfer to Buffalo State for a bachelor’s. I’m interested in technical operations, project management, and leadership, but unsure how valuable this degree is to employers.
**Supply Chain Management:** Pursue a bachelor’s through an employer-sponsored education program. Interested in logistics, operations, and management.
**Apprenticeship/Skilled Trades:** Pursue electrical work, industrial maintenance, or automation and gain experience while earning money.
My long-term goal is to earn **$80k–$100k+**, have career stability, opportunities for advancement, and a decent work-life balance. I’m also planning to get married and eventually start a family.
I feel behind at 25 and don’t want to waste more years switching majors or pursuing degrees that won’t lead anywhere.
**For those working in these fields:**
Which path offers the best combination of job security, earning potential, and career growth?
Is an EET associate degree worth finishing?
Is a Technology Management bachelor’s respected by employers, or is Supply Chain Management a better investment?
Would you recommend getting into a technical field sooner rather than spending more years in school?
I’d really appreciate advice from people with experience in these industries, especially anyone who’s been in a similar position.

I’m a private person and value a calm, simple life. I’m not interested in becoming rich,I just want a stable, comfortable middle-class lifestyle with decent work-life balance.

I also love reading self-help books and applying what I learn.What careers would you recommend for someone like me? What would you choose if you were in my position?

Personally, I am 15 and half and these times, I am very struggling to find a career path idea.
At school even if we are young, they constantly tell us that we should hurry to find ideas for like find a job. I am into psychology, I love listening and trying to understand people, I like helping, ect. I thought about these Jobs:

-Social Worker. Because I love like the idea of meeting new people, I know how to talk and say the right words, I don’t mind helping with family conflicts or arguments, plus there are a lot of places who teaches that I saw…

-Primary School Teacher. I remember when I was little I liked it how like the teacher would decide what to teach us, teachers would help the kids with difficulties, and apparently it’s just like 4 years then you can « change » like you can teach to older kids like teens (I think). The only thing that bothers me there, is that with the new technology, well I would have to help kids with the computer issues

-Clinical Psychologist. I already studied things like personality disorders (That’s what I know the best), I don’t mind talking to people that are having crisis or need intense help, I know that if I was actually interested I could do really great work, I don’t mind the studying but I still think it’s a lot of studies to do

I 37f no degree wfh currently and love it as I'm an introvert/homebody but do enjoy the occasional chat currently working as a dispatcher for a small service company. That company is trying to grow and catch up to the time but it's a disorganized mess I've been with for 3 years now and prior 12 with a large security company. I kick myself for leaving and not riding it out but as with large Co they make changes with metrics that are near impossible and I saw it coming as a tenured employee thinking a change would be good I left at first it's was good but then the merge happened I was aware that I would be happening and was prepared but the company was and has not been. The changes in management and now micromanaging as getting bad that idk how much longer I can hold out, I'm greatful to have a remote job but also feel held back I'm my skills and knowledge I've expressed this to my manager and the flaws I've seen made recommendations with one impliments but not how I advised would benefit.. I've been applying for jobs over a year for job I'm most definitely qualified for, what I'm already doing, under qualified and some I'm partially qualified for. I have even applied to jobs locally to return to office and still nothing, now I'm and most definitely underpaid per my experience but it was a slight pay bump when I switched and is still below the median income for my area. I have management experience but for the longest I didn't want to go back into but even then a few jobs I have applied to nothing. I enjoy dispatching and creating schedules, building relationships and collaboration but gosh it's frustrating and idk what I can do to make myself more appealing or advance in as field or anything I just feel stuck and hopeless, unfortunately I can't just quit won't just quit have have no saving due to like happing and depleted and carry debt that I'm slowing chipping away at. I have even tried part time as I have fast food experience nothing it's insane this jobs market while there are help wanted and hiring there are people who are actively applying and not getting a response I'm so frustrated end rant. Any advise, tips or encouragement

I'm under a lot of mental pressure. I'm a BA graduate, and I will turn 20 on January 30, 2027. I'm feeling like a complete loser. I'm preparing for the SSC, but I just feel like if I don't succeed, what will happen to me? I have no backup. The friends I used to dream with are now living their lives, comfortably doing their BTech, and they'll surely get jobs afterwards. I've closed all my paths by finishing my Bachelor's. Should I pursue another good undergraduate degree? I'm really confused. There's also the option of an MBA, but my profile is not great for that. I thought about doing an MCA through CUET PG, but I'm not eligible for the top universities. I'm totally stuck; I don't know what to do. Please suggest a solution.

I have a bachelors degree in Physics and Masters in manufacturing. The problem is my degree is old (2016) and have no experience.
Now, I am trying to build my career and I have no idea frin where to start.
What kind of job I can enter easily and how to choose it ?
From where should I start?
What kind of jobs are now more in demand?
What skills I need to learn? How ?

Thank you for your help

Hello beautiful people!! I have been an LPN (licensed practical nurse) for 10 years now. I would like to go back to school to get a bachelor’s in business as I want to continue to expand into more leadership and managerial roles. I’m working in leadership right now. Eventually I would like to get out of healthcare altogether.

I’ve been shopping around for online schools trying to find which is the most affordable and quickest route for me to get my degree. I have a lot of transfer credits and want to make sure I can get the most out of the work I’ve already done.

One of the admissions advisors suggested that I consider a degree in Organizational Leadership. She said that a lot more of my credits would transfer. When I did my research on this degree path, it seems pretty aligned with the direction I’m wanting to go towards (employee retention and morale, company growth, conflict resolution, etc).

Understanding that Organizational Leadership is a fairly new degree(?). My question is, with this degree will I still have as many options as I would with a traditional business degree or would I be limiting myself? Would the pay be better, worse, or the same? Any advice, considerations, recommendations, and knowledge about this degree are welcomed.

For reference, I’m in coastal Georgia, USA and do not plan to relocate.

TL;DR: nurse for 10 years. Want to continue to grown in leadership and out of nursing. Considering a bachelor’s in Organizational Leadership. Is this a useful/practical option? What type of jobs can I expect? Is pay good?

Women over 30 in IT/Software Engineering who hate Coding

I am international student F1 at US.

I am really good at Mathematics but I am currently pursuing Ms Applied behavior analysis where I am not interested that much.

Should I switch to Ms Actuarial science?

Give the situation of AI , the job market which will be the best bet for international students Actuary or the behavioral analysis?

Suggest me from all perspectives.

can anyone suggest me how many and what kind of project should I make to make my profile stand out also the university I wanna get in wants me to show all the relevant project. I worked for 8 month as a cafe manager and did a cashier job for like 4 months. the course I am interested in is business analytics.

I'm a 2nd year college student, and l've been seriously considering switching my major to accounting. Being an introvert, the idea of having a desk job where I can sit down, focus on my work, and have a consistent routine sounds like absolute heaven to me.

Job security is also really important, which is why l would want to get my CPA license. I'm interested in eventually working in government, possibly in tax.

For those in this field, what does your day to day life look like? Is it suitable for introverts, are you happy with your career, and how is the pay and work life balance?

My two biggest concerns right now is again, being an introvert and not being particularly good at math.

Though if I do decide to pursue accounting, I'm going into it with my best foot forward. I'm prepared to work hard, put in the time, and do whatever it takes to succeed. I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to give it my all. That being said, I'm curious whether accounting is a realistic career path for someone like me so if anyone could provide any advice as well that would be great.

Hello,
I’m currently in school and will be graduating in December with my bachelors degree in elementary education. The problem is I don’t want to work in the school. I want to be able to use my degree to get into the federal sector and then pivot with my masters degree. Like obtaining a Masters in MPA. While this is feasible, I want to know if I should just stick with getting a masters degree in education (leadership) or can I pivot and have a better chance of getting a government job with a bachelors in elementary education while working on my masters degree in MPA. I’m not really a math person so I just chose that.

Assalamualaikum everyone,

I am currently studying in 2nd year in Pakistan, and I am confused about what to do after intermediate.

I want to choose a career that has good future opportunities, decent income, and demand in Pakistan and possibly abroad.

Should I go to university, learn a practical skill, start freelancing, or consider another path?

I would really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through this stage. Please share your real experiences, mistakes to avoid, and what you would do differently if you could start again.

Thank you!

Hi Mates, I get straight to the point.

Current situation:

I am in to networking(Routing,VPN firewall etc). I have one job offer in my hand and joining is next Monday at a Fintech(Company A). I am interviewing with another company (B) which is dedicatedly of my domain (networking and IT). First two rounds have gone well and recruiter have called personally to say that after 2 months they have found such candidate, Final round is pending and they are confident that I'll pass (me to a bit). But they are taking time.

What should I do? Don't wait and join A or drop A and take risk for B.

(I do have 1-2 interviews lined up and so far going good)

Company A gives lesser salary but confirmed joining. 

Company B's HR agreed to give bit more than Company A's base salary but final round discussing is not done yet.

Background Story:

My reliving from previous employer was on negative grounds(termination) and I am unemployed for 2 months. I have my termination/experience letter but don't have my CTC(compensation letter). Previous company said they don't disclose details in BGV.

My Fear:

• At company B the end client is government agency for whom I'll working, will they dig deeper into my professional BGV or personal BGV.
• I don't want to disclose the exact cause or leaving previous org (as it is bad) but I have a clean personal BGV (police,court,address etc)
• If I've been unemployed for 2 months and don't want to stretch it but don't want to leave money on the table either.
• If I join A, I'll have to leave some money and my domain specific company.

• If I join B, and the client dug into prev company and decided me let go, I'll be in big trouble (short term in a company) and with no job.

• I don't know what the Company B's end client will check in BGV.

• I don't know if Recruiter from company B are just hyping me up.

• I don't know if considering Company B is with taking a risk or not for my career.

I know I should be the one answering what I want but I got dropped from my first job and felt like everything is gone. I always find that anything wrong is my mistake.

Now I see some hope but stuck due to company's and recruiters being diplomatic.

Please help. Let me know if you wanna know anything else from before suggesting.

Company A benefits: 

• WFH in night shift
• Transportation allowance is saparete from base
• 50k bonus each every year.
• Total monetary value is close to what B is saying as promise.

Owner has asked me if I would be interested in taking the role of shop foreman and I’m curious what others here in similar roles make. For context, It is a cabinet/millwork/countertop production facility with 40ish people on the floor producing close to $15 million last year

hello guys, m21 confused about my career completely.

i have dropped out of my BBA degree in 2025. i have been into my family business since then, which is fabrication in a construction. so i have always been included in civil field. i got more interest into construction field and project management. so i have joined under a PMC (project management consultancy firm) to gain more knowledge and learnings for my future business in june 2026. i have been traveling to other cities for site visits and meetings. But i have gained a very few knowledge about this field from the point i already know there is very few increment in my knowledge.

i do not know how to read structural drawings properly, but i know other basics of how to find the quantity of a steel and other works.

im also very good at sketching and drawing and im now thinking about joining a interior designing diploma course for more indept knowledge of "autocad" and "sketchup".

should i join the classes or not or should i learn it at my home cause my colleague says that u first need to find out what you really want to persue if u want to persue civil field stay in this and if you like to do interior designing and sketching for layouts and had interest in architectural field then join the interior classes.

but honestly im very much confused of this cause i like both i love designing and plainning but as well as i love how to manage a project and execute it. please help me with this.

Hey guys! Just need an opinion or two. At work I’m best buddies with the bosses (love those guys) and we joke around all of the time. Though since I take my job as a funny man serious, my jokes take years of work in order to build up a payoff, which is funny, memorable but also importantly not cheap. I’m a pro after all. My favorite kind of joke is definitely one that gets everyone involved, that’s my advice to anyone reading this and wants to do well at work. Anyway, the awkward thing is obviously asking for a raise between friends this way. How do I tell them though that without an incentive, even as a stud, I won’t perform. Basically I need a raise to perform.

I graduated with an English degree and minor in Professional Writing. Worked as an English Editor for the government, right out of school got a Content Writing job and then worked as a Technical Writer, but honestly that role ended up being more corporate communications.

I left my role to pivot into dog grooming. Was not my cup of tea and left with an injury to my eye that almost permanently damaged it. Thankfully that didn't happen. But I promptly left.

I've been unemployed for 4 months and feel so lost. I've been writing a book, which is great, but the payoff for this risk won't be for a while (if ever) and I need a job. What are some career options for someone who doesn't want to write?

I've looked at sales, office administrator, and customer service roles. I can't work every weekend due to personal stuff so monday-friday is ideal.

Just feeling really scared and hoping for career ideas that I may not have thought of.
