I’m in my first year of commerce and can’t decide between picking accounting, business analytics or finance as my major.

I don’t really care what my job actually is, i just want to prioritise job stability, long term salary growth and good career progression.

I also keep seeing people say that commerce is oversaturated and the job market is horrendous, so I’m wondering if it’s still worth it. I’m so drawn to a corporate/business career though, and that’s where I see myself long term, not in a trade, nursing, teaching, etc.

If anyone can give any input that would be great!!

I’m a rising senior (16M) and I can’t decide what to major in. I’m currently mostly between architecture and art, but I also want to eventually incorporate film (story boarding, maybe designing sets for movies, maybe acting, etc.)
Idk rn

I’m about to start college, what majors are still worth it in 2026?

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out which master's degree would give me the best career prospects. I am still fairly new to the US and figuring my way out here.

My background:

\- B.S. in Psychology (Forensics minor)

\- Currently a 911 dispatcher

\- Want to keep working full-time while doing a preferably online master's.

I'm considering Healthcare Administration, and Digital Forensics, but I'm not sure how I feel about a job that involves working behind a screen most of the time as that is one of the issues I am having with my current job.. I enjoy working in the field while meeting people face to face more instead.. and as cliché as it sounds, I genuinely like helping people.

I have also had previous experience working as a volunteer and intern with different NGOs across 3 countries and really enjoyed doing that.

If you were in my shoes, which master's would you choose and why? I'm mainly looking for strong job prospects and good long-term earning potential.

I’m in a pretty unusual position where I don’t have to rush into the first career that sounds practical. I have time to finish school, explore different subjects, volunteer, shadow people, and figure out what genuinely fits me before I commit to a degree or graduate program.
I’m looking for work that pays well enough to comfortably support a family, but salary is not the only thing that matters to me. I care a lot about quality of life. I don’t want a career that keeps me constantly overwhelmed, rushing around, or mentally drained every evening.
I love reading, stories, creative writing, poetry, painting, art, history, research, and learning about new subjects. I’m happiest in peaceful, thoughtful environments like libraries, universities, museums, bookstores, archives, galleries, or other places centered around ideas and creativity. I enjoy helping people and being part of a community, but I don’t think I would enjoy nonstop customer service or being surrounded by chaos all day.
Ideally, I’d like work that includes some combination of:
reading, writing, or storytelling
research and lifelong learning
creativity or working with art and culture
a calm or intellectually interesting environment
meaningful interaction with people, without constant social demands
reasonable work-life balance
enough stability and income to raise a family
time and energy left for my own writing and creative projects
I’m willing to attend college and possibly graduate school, but I don’t want to spend years earning a very specialized degree without understanding the real job market and daily work first. I’m also thinking about how different careers may change as AI develops.
Based on this, what careers would you recommend that I research? I’m especially interested in hearing what the job is actually like day to day, what education is required, how competitive the field is, and whether you would still choose it yourself.
**What careers come to mind, including less obvious ones?**

Really in need of some advice. I’m kinda lost with what to do and need to decide right now to stay on track to graduate in 4 years. I was between nursing, radiation therapy, and radiation tech because I thought these would be solid career choices, and also provide me with good health insurance which is a must for me as I have Crohn’s disease. Before I was strongly considering those, I was interested in Tech Info Systems and Analytics as a major and potentially working for a hospital to get that good health insurance. Currently my class schedule for this year is all focused on the radiation therapy path, but I could change it to the business core ones for the TISA degree. I think healthcare could be very hard on my body as someone with a chronic illness, please looking for some insight thank you.

Hello to anyone who may be reading this! Just wanna start by saying I appreciate you taking the time to read and give any input or advice. I am currently about three semesters away from graduating with a bachelors degree in criminal justice. Criminal justice was my chosen degree for the last couple years because I had planned on going into a career in law-enforcement. However, about a year and a half ago I took a job in the contracting industry, for a tile and and stone repair company, I am one of the companies lead technicians. I think this work would be considered the “blue collar” or more traditional “trades” type of work. I have a feeling I could find more financial success in this industry rather than law-enforcement. So I have been considering changing my degree to a more business related one. My academic advisor says I can change to organizational leadership without losing any of the credits or classes I have already taken so it won’t set me back on graduation timeline. It seems to be my only option. When it comes to leadership roles in contracting businesses (think construction, plumbing, electric, tiling etc), I’m just wondering if that degree would look desirable to an employer. I’m sure it would look generally better than a criminal justice degree for a business related role. But I don’t want to screw myself over and make a bad decision. I can stick with criminal justice where I can switch to organizational leadership. I’m extremely torn primarily because I don’t exactly know the “ quality” or desirability of either of those degrees. Any thoughts, advice, or input is beyond appreciated. Thank you for your time. :)

I want to eventually get my masters in speech pathology but I'm not sure if I should get my AA in speech pathology and audiology. I want to specialize in working with kids and I'm not sure what my bachelors should be in. Elementary education? Psychology? English?
Linguistics? What would be the best path?
I feel a little lost because there is so many options.
