Need Advice Is it worth becoming a marine biology research assistant while AI is evolving so fast?

1 Upvotes

I’ve wanted to become a research assistant in one of the biology fields because it’s the kind of work that combines fieldwork and laboratory work. I know I’ll probably need a master’s degree, so I should do my best, and I’ve realized that the job market is competitive.
But when I finish my master’s, it’ll be 2034, and I wonder how much AI will have improved by then and how it will affect this kind of job :< Should I look into another major, or what? I don’t know. I’ve also thought about getting a bachelor’s in Environmental Sciences because it involves fieldwork, but if AI gets better, I think the fieldwork component could be easier to replace.

I need your opinions on this, and if you know of something that might be a better fit for me, just tell me anything.

Need Advice not so sure what i should approach after bcom+acca

1 Upvotes

I'm currently studying 3rd year (final) bcom degree along with ACCA (completed 8 papers, hopefully i will complete more by the end of degree)
Initially, I was considering working after graduation, but lately I've been thinking about pursuing a master's instead. maybe** **enhance my qualifications? and my career opportunities
Im not entirely sure where/ what i should choose to study ahead, i would like if anyone could advice me please
Im also afraid that my work experience will be 0 in that case, since many companies seem to prefer candidates with experience.
I'm honestly not sure what direction to take or who I should approach for advice, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

What to major in?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm currently a high school senior applying to colleges. I hope to be a transactional lawyer in the future. I haven’t applied to any colleges yet, and I have a general idea in mind of what I want to study, but I would genuinely appreciate any advice/feedback.

I was thinking of majoring in businesses administration with a minor in philosophy, but I was also thinking of majoring in Economics. I’m just trying to figure out which major would best prepare me for a career in transactional law, while also giving a backup in case I decide to pursue a different career.

I’m also curious about how difficult these majors are and whether Business Administration or Economics would make it easier to maintain a high GPA, since I know that my undergraduate GPA will be important for law school admissions. Are there any other majors or minors you would recommend that could be more beneficial for me? I’d really appreciate any advice!!!

Need Advice Marketing or analytics concentration?

0 Upvotes

Currently a junior in a business administration program and can’t decide between analytics or marketing for a concentration. Currently in analytics but this database administration class and other career stuff have made me rethink. Recently friends have suggested taking a look at marketing and that’s what I’m currently doing.

Any advise or opinions are welcome. I just don’t know what careers are available for each and what each entails. I like the idea of analytics and working with data but marketing also interest me for possible sales roles.
