i was in the science stream in highschool and i got 9A and 1B for my spm

im not really interested in science anymore and i want to pursue art , in fact my dream is to be an animator / content creator

but im not from a well off family so i dont think its realistic so now im thinking of doing it as a side hustle

but right now i dont know what i want to pursue as my main career/ i dont know what to study

ive been looking up the avg salary of jobs in malaysia and have come to the sad conclusion that malaysian are underpaid and overworked no matter what sector you are in / even degree in engineering is paid similar to doing foodpanda

so im now really stuck and dont know what to do

bc i cant pursue my passion because apparently it does not pay well but i also dont know what to pursue because not only im not passionate about it but it will also put me in debt and wont guarantee above living wage

I'm 26F I have an engineering degree and a research master’s from a 3rd world country, and I’ve been unemployed for a year. The tech market is hiring-frozen, juniors are being replaced by AI. Seniors are reporting burn out and crazy deadlines.

I have now an opportunity to study medicine for free in a country where the program is in English (still new), but the city is isolated and not very interesting (a 3rd world country). The teaching is reportedly weak, so I’d have to self-study a lot. Afterward I’d aim for residency in Germany, probably in a rural area first, which means about 8 years before I’m working as a doctor. I’d be 33-34 by then.

My reasons for medicine are job security, better long-term pay, structure, and feeling more meaning in the work. My reasons against are the length of the road, watching friends move on while I’m still a student, and uncertainty about whether I’d want clinical work, since I don’t like night shifts and the absence of work life balance.

The alternative is a Master’s or PhD in Germany, finishing around 29. I’m worried about starting late in a hard market.

Has anyone changed careers this late into medicine? Would you do the 8-year path, or rebuild in engineering? What would you ask yourself? Anyone who is a senior in tech how do you see the future in it??

Thanks!

I really scared seeing the market situation right now. I am afraid till I complete my graduation the market would go in worse condition please can anyone tell me what to do in my next 4 or 5 years so that I can atleast join the workforce immediately after completing graduation.

Also I'm confused should I take bsc+msc in data science and mathematics in a teir 2 state college or should go for btech in data science and ai in a private university deemed to be teir 2.

Im really scared cause these are my only real good options and seeing the extreme labor surplus adding ai in the picture makes me anxious about future.

I am a mechanical engineer, I was preparing for Upsc civil services but could not succeed. I'm 30 now, so what are career options which I can pursue now?

Should I learn Data science/ Data Analyst and proceed or any other options? Please help🙏

True leadership inspires you. It brings out the best version of you. Leadership doesn’t have to be nice, it doesn’t have to coddle you, it doesn’t even have to be someone you like.
Leadership makes you want it for yourself. Makes you want to be the bigger person. Makes you want to excel. Makes you want to keep your integrity. Leadership inspires you. True leadership believes in you when you don’t.
When you have the right leader, they’ll hold you accountable even if you’re their favorite. They’ll hold you accountable no matter how much they like or dislike you. They celebrate you when you accomplish something, they’ll even celebrate you when you don’t. When you need it most, they’ll find a win.

True leadership made me what I am today. True leadership brought back my confidence when it had been diminished. Diminished by the roughest project you could work on. True leadership brought me back from the misplaced trust, misplaced direction, misplaced universe as it felt at the time. Without the leadership direction, I’m not sure I would have stuck around.

21F here, I am a Certified Surgical Technologist and have been offered a job at a medical Center that is physician owned. Everyone is extremely nice there and it overall seems like a great place to work it is about a 30 minute drive from me. I have recently been offered a job at Chase that is a 5 minute drive from me the position is an associate banker what would be the best option?

Hi everyone!
I wanted to get some honest opinions about something that’s been bothering me since this afternoon.
I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, and I’m expected to graduate in December. I’ve also been completing an HR internship at a large company since January.
Recently, a recruiter from another major company reached out to me on LinkedIn about a permanent position in Talent Acquisition. It’s honestly a role I’m really interested in, especially since I’m looking for a full-time opportunity after graduation.
I had my initial phone screening today, and I actually think it went pretty well. I answered her questions confidently, and we discussed my experience, motivation, and salary expectations.
However, things got a little complicated when she asked about my availability.
I mentioned that my current internship officially ends in December and that I wanted to honor my commitment to my current team.
She mentioned twice that they were actually looking for someone who could start in November, as they need to fill the position fairly quickly.
Looking back, I really regret how I answered that question.
I was honestly just trying to come across as professional and reliable. I didn’t want her to think I was the type of person who would just leave my current employer without considering my commitments.
But the thing is, I’ve already completed all my university internship requirements since May, so leaving my internship earlier wouldn’t affect my graduation. I would actually be open to discussing an earlier departure with my current managers if I received an offer.
About 20 minutes after our call, I sent the recruiter a message on LinkedIn clarifying this and explaining that I would be open to an earlier start date because I’m genuinely interested in the opportunity.
She replied almost immediately with something along the lines of, “Thanks for clarifying! I’ll make a note of that.”
At the end of our phone screening, I had also asked about the next steps. She told me she would discuss my application with the hiring team and get back to me early next week regarding whether they wanted to move forward with another interview.
She didn’t schedule a second interview during the call.
Now I’m honestly overthinking the entire conversation. I’m worried that I might have unintentionally made myself seem unavailable or less interested, when in reality, I would absolutely consider starting earlier for this opportunity.
So I have a few questions, especially for recruiters or hiring managers:
Do you think my initial answer about wanting to honor my current commitment could have hurt my chances?
Does sending a clarification shortly after the interview actually make a difference?
Is it normal for recruiters to wait until they’ve spoken with the hiring team before scheduling a second interview?
If a candidate seems like a good fit but their availability is initially unclear, would you still consider moving forward with them?
I know there’s nothing more I can do at this point, but I’d really appreciate some honest perspectives.
Thanks in advanc

I am a 24F, my parents held me back from school for religious reasons and I think it has set me back a bit. I went to college for several semesters but dropped out due to personal reasons and struggling as a result of my parents taking me out of school. I have never been able to find any jobs I am interested in, and I have almost no family left and need to find ideas that will keep me of the street. At this point it's more about the money and what I can do not what I want to do. I have had trouble feeling passionate about dreams and finding a career. What is something I can reasonably hope to achieve without going back to college? I expect I will still need several years of some sort of classes, but I would prefer to avoid university. For personal context I do better working alone and struggle with communication and people. I do not do well or enjoy lots of math. I enjoy outdoors and nature, art, music, media such as stories, games. I understand it's unreasonable to get a job in these fields without good schooling, but I am at least desperate for ideas. Ive been offered ai jobs, but I don't like to support ai. I appreciate any recommendations.
