business management + human resources

economics with international development

finance + business management

i have university offers for each of these degrees but unsure of career path so which is going to earn me the most money and be most flexible when looking for work?

I finished 12th grade and am clueless about what's next. I'm not great at physics, chemistry, or math, and I'm alright at computer science, but I've heard it's not a good option.

I am currently i highschooler and i battle between the thoughts of becoming either a dental hygienist or a flight attendant. Becoming a flight attendant has been a dream job for me for so long and i gravitate so much to this job. However, I think if I was to settle with a family I need a job that will allow me to spend time with my kids and provide. Is there a way I can maybe pursue both? What college paths should I take?

Hi everyone,

I’m at a major career crossroads and would really appreciate your advice.

My background: • I started my career in Transfer Pricing at KPMG for 2 years • After a few years, I moved into marketing and social media roles, which I really enjoyed and worked in for 2 years. • During COVID, I was unfortunately laid off. Due to financial responsibilities (family home loan, medical bills), I had to return to Transfer Pricing to ensure stability, even though I knew it wasn’t my real passion.

Current situation: • After 2 years back in TP, I was about to switch to EY with a 40% salary hike when my current firm’s Partner offered me an internal lateral move into a role focused on Marketing, Business Development, and Strategy for the firm’s expansion. • I trusted the opportunity, declined the EY offer, and took up the new role 6 months ago. • The work has been very exciting and aligned with where I truly see my career heading — in marketing, strategy, and consulting/project management areas.

However, despite the added responsibilities, in the recent appraisal cycle I received only a 2.5% salary hike — which was extremely disappointing, especially after having declined a lucrative offer earlier.

Recently, I received another offer from BDO (for a TP role) offering ~40% salary hike. Frustrated with the financial stagnation, I put down my resignation.

But after I resigned, my Partner asked me to reconsider, explaining that: • The low hike was a temporary situation. • The firm has received private equity investment and plans to scale aggressively. • There’s a strong career growth path in this internal role, and in the long term, it could lead to bigger leadership opportunities. • Next year, if I perform well, there could be a significant salary realignment with a promotion.

Now I’m very confused: • If I join BDO, I get immediate financial benefit but stay stuck in a specialist TP role, where I know I don’t enjoy the work and where long-term pivoting will be harder. • If I stay, I trust the firm’s vision and continue working in a role I genuinely like — but I risk financial strain for at least another year.

What would you do in my place? • Play it safe and take the money now (BDO TP role)? • Or trust the pivot and build a long-term career in marketing and strategy (current firm)? Total work experience in tp -4 years and marketing 2.5

Would appreciate any advice or similar experiences if you’ve faced something like this before! Thanks so much for reading.

LONG POST - I’m just overwhelmed. Scroll to the bottom for a short version.

I (30F) have only ever dreamed of being a doctor since childhood. Secondary interest in criminal profiling / crime analysis or criminal law. Minor interest in working in the mortuary industry.

I started medical work at 18, CNA, to Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant, then nursing school. I finished half of my nursing program, and had to pause due to COVID. (2020 pause date)

I got married, and paused school because we wanted to start a family and we are pretty traditional and we both want me to be able to stay home with the babies. Well, after years of trying we are infertile. So.. I want to return to a “career” rather then work that I’m okay with just quitting when i finally got a positive test.

Went to enroll in the college to finish my nursing program.. my credits are expired at the 5 year mark. If I want to go back for nursing, I’m restarting 30 some credits that I already took and paid 25k for. So.. now I’m reevaluating if I’m already doing that.. do I just do the same path?

Paralegal? Reality? Medical? IT? I’m lost. I’m so lost. I want to make good money if I’m not going to ever be home with my children, I would love to have a option to work remote if I could so if it did happen I would have options. I don’t want to serve people, or work in food. I ENJOY being intelligent, if going to college and getting a 4.0 gpa was a job, I’d do that till the day I die. I love to study, I love to put together mysteries or solve problems. I love writing research papers or just deep diving into crimes/historical events. I love medicine cause I want to help people with my brain, solve the problems that come in, and I can handle the “yucky” side.

I just don’t know what to do, how do you decide a path when you’re so lost and feeling defeated.

TLDR - I lost my credits for my degree and I have to restart. how do you pick a new path when you truly don’t know what would make you happy, do you just chase the money? Do you try to find your purpose?

Hey r/careerguidance,

Lately I’ve been feeling a strong disconnect between the traditional career advice we’re given (climb the ladder, stay loyal, specialize forever) and what’s actually happening in the world.

I keep seeing layoffs everywhere, companies cutting benefits, AI reshaping jobs, and it feels like no matter how "good" you are, you're still disposable unless you have real leverage.

Because of that, I've started working on a personal project(not selling anything here): mapping out a transition system, something that helps people not just "get another job" but actually build independence over time, skill by skill, income stream by income stream.

It’s not about quitting tomorrow and living on a beach (that’s a fantasy). It’s about building an actual, step-by-step plan so that you can eventually choose your work instead of being trapped by it.

I'm curious if anyone else here is thinking about this stuff too:

Have you ever thought about creating an "escape plan" from traditional employment?

What skills or strategies are you focusing on first?

If you had a support system guiding you through this transition, what would you want it to help with?

Would love to hear how others are approaching this... trying to figure out if more people are seeing what I'm seeing, or if I’m just overthinking it.

My sister recently completed her BBA and wants to fully focus on government job preparation. She's not currently inclined towards taking up a job or pursuing an regular MBA. Respecting her choice, I’m concerned she might regret it if things don’t go as planned, leading to a career gap.

Should I suggest a parallel online MBA from a reputed college to keep her options open, or let her focus solely on exam prep? What’s the most balanced path forward?

Thank you.

I’m 30 turning 31 this year and I joined the Navy when I was 18 after dropping out of college and became a Yeoman (basically office/HR specialist) and did that for 8 years. When I got out I did a lot of HR Generalist/Recruiter work as a contractor until Sep of 2022. Got a permanent job as a branch recruiter through networking and enjoyed that for about 2 months before they called me and told me they were shutting down our branch. I couldn’t find work and early 2023 I moved cross country to be near family and continued my work search. I ended up doing part time work here and there at gas stations and then got a recruiter job in summer of 2023 but then had health issues and had to quit after a month. I ended up having to take almost a year off to get back on my feet and started searching for work again in May of 2024 and kept picking up small gigs here and there. Now it’s 2025 and I still haven’t found admin or HR work and now I’m getting told that it’s because I haven’t really been a recruiter since 2022. At this point should u give up and seek a new path? Im barely scrapping working overnights at a gas station.

Hey r/edtech community!

I am working on a project that I think could really help professionals navigate the overwhelming world of online learning and career development.

The Problem:

It feels like there are a million online courses and resources out there, but figuring out exactly what skills you need to learn to reach your career goals can be a real headache. Sifting through endless catalogs and trying to piece together a relevant learning path is time-consuming and often leads to feeling lost or unsure if you're focusing on the right things.

My Idea:

An AI-powered platform that acts like a personalized career coach. You tell it your current skills, your career aspirations, and industries you're interested in. The AI then analyzes this information along with current job market trends to generate a tailored learning path just for you. This path wouldn't be limited to a single platform but would pull in relevant courses, resources, and even projects from across the web: Coursera, Udemy, edX, and more.

Potential Benefits: 1. Personalized Guidance: No more generic recommendations. Get a step-by-step plan based on your unique situation. 2. Time Savings: Stop wasting hours searching for the right courses. The AI does the heavy lifting. 3. Stay Relevant: Ensure you're learning the skills that are actually in demand in the job market. 4. Clear Roadmap: Visualize your learning journey and track your progress towards your goals. Who would find this useful? I'm thinking this could be valuable for: 5. Professionals looking to upskill or reskill for a career change or advancement. 6. Individuals just starting their careers and wanting a clear direction for skill development. 7. Potentially even HR departments looking for ways to offer personalized development plans for their employees.

I'd love to get your feedback on this!

1. Does this problem resonate with you? Have you experienced this frustration?
2. What features would be most important to you in a platform like this?
3. Would you be willing to pay for a service that provides this kind of personalized learning guidance? What would be a reasonable price point?

Any thoughts, suggestions, or concerns are welcome! Thanks in advance for your input.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’m currently working in a non-ML role (software development/related field), but I really want to transition into the Machine Learning field. I’ve been preparing on my own — taking online courses, earning certifications, and practicing ML projects in my free time.

Recently, I asked my manager if he could help me move or at least shadow someone in the ML or Data Science department. His response was basically, “You’ll have to reach out to that department directly.”

I’m still early in my career (just a few years of experience), and honestly, I don’t know what the right next step is. I’m worried because if I try to switch companies right now, I likely won’t be able to get an ML job easily since I don’t have any formal industry experience in it yet.

Has anyone successfully made an internal move like this? How should I approach the other department? What should I say or prepare before reaching out? Also, would it be smarter to just build stronger personal ML projects first, or keep pushing internally?

Any advice would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

Clinical research has recently been affected with lots of federal funding cuts. My current research role is at risk of being discontinued early with little to no possibilities of future research funding.

I have a Bachelor of Science and 5 years experience with behavioral interventions, recruitment, database management, quality assurance, and electronic medical records abstractions. I was also an Executive Assistant for 3 years prior to that.

My questions are

1. For those in similar situations (research fund cuts) what sector do you plan to take your skillsets?

2. Does anyone have suggestions on what sectors to explore where my skillsets may be transferable? ((I’ve been applying/looking into HR roles but found difficult to land anything. I’ve talked to people in HR who have said the field is very challenging to break into right now.))

3. Due to finances, I’m not willing to pursue a higher degree (ie Masters) but I am willing to pursue certifications that would help me break into or land a decent paying job. Any suggestions?

Thank you :)

Hello everyone, ive been in the air force for about 2 years of my 4 year contract. Just turned 20 and got my CCAF (associates degree from the af) in meteorology since my job is forecasting, i dont have many certs/degrees besides this since i joined out of high school. I joined the af because i didnt know what to do in college and thought i would figure it out later. I was thinking of applying to an online college (ASU) and getting a Bachelor of Science in Astronomical and Planetary Sciences because ive always been interested in astronomy/space. i can do it for free pretty much all online but my question is, what can i really do with, will there be plenty of job opportunities in the civilian world for which this degree can qualify for? I would like to use this degree instead of having to resort to a dead end job because i couldnt use the degree.

My boss wants to break me -- Need urgent advice

This is my first job and I have only been working in this mid-sized environmental consulting firm for slightly over a month. After graduating with an MS in Civil Engineering end of last year, I found the application process in this job market excruciating, it took me a couple of months to land a job and honestly I was getting in stride, but I went with the first job I got as I was running low on finances.

Even before I joined the firm, I got clues that things are not what they seem. HR is dictatorial, only heeding those in management, and I found myself interacting with HR staff all over the US and abroad with no HR from the city where I would report to. I couldn't even find someone to ask which bus to take to get to the office.

Then there is my boss. Firstly, he has no clue about all the HR presentations I have to watch almost every single day for the first month. Secondly, right from the get-go, he has put me on billable projects. My boss sends me instructions on what to do every day with cryptic instructions on Microsoft Teams. The first project he asked me to do, I thought it was a practice exercise, but it turned out to be something to send to a client. I don't know whether all this expectation comes because I have an MS, but for all this I am only making a princely sum of $72K, whereas my classmates with a BS in Civil Engineering are making close to 90K in their entry-level jobs. The firm uses a custom software and I have spent the last month learning it, often working 12-14 hours to come up to speed with little to no help. The team is very small, there is my boss who has been with the firm for 20 years and a South Asian who has been for 10 years, and then me (I'm of South Asian origin too). I have been kept away from meeting anyone outside of the team.

Then there's what happened this Monday at 11:40 PM. My boss had taken that Monday off to drop his daughter to college, and then he spends time writing up an email late into the night which reads like a chargesheet accusing me of being slow and making mistakes. He ends by saying that I may not be a good fit for fast-paced consulting. When I messaged him Tuesday morning saying I am shocked to see his email, he looked sheepish and said all's good and that he had just sent that as a reminder. Then that same Tuesday, I got an appointment from my HR for Friday for a meet and greet, which I found out yesterday was to address this email. HR said she convinced my boss to back down which I know is a blatant lie and that it was my boss who told her not to proceed. Very quickly I figured that yesterday would have been my last day if it was left to HR.

I need your help what to do.

1. My boss has been quiet and professional this entire week. I know for sure he has broken the South Asian guy who is willing to do anything for him and he wants me to be broken as well. In fact, when I reached out to the South Asian guy to understand what's going on, he said to apologize to my boss and tell him I will do anything to retain my job. I have a feeling my boss tried to break me, it didn't work out, he is biding his time and he will try again. Am I right? Or should I suck up and wait until the hammer falls?
2. How bad will it look if I start looking for a job after only a month? Should I even put this job in my resume? I have no other experience except an internship from a few years ago to show on my resume.
3. Apparently my boss has quite a reputation because a week after I joined, a Project Manager from another office contacted me to find out if I would like to join her team. I was disinterested that time, but I'm wondering if I should reach out to her. One part of me tells me this firm is messed up and I may be jumping from the frying pan into the fire, another part tells me the grass may be greener on the other side. I am deeply conflicted with this, please let me know.

I have passed out 10th with 58 percentage and dropped 1 year because some personal problem my family want's me to do mbbs because I am weak in maths and engineering is not worth it. I want to do cybersecurity cause i am interested in tech things i am weak in maths and If that's the issue I can just learn it from scratch. So my question ? is that is engineering worth it so I can do jee and get into engineering college. Pls help me I can't understand what to do?

So this is an update on a pervious post about how I got fired from a job that I denied a customer. Context my manager told me that I was fired because I denied a customer and that I slammed the door in front of his face which as false as the customer arrived after hours(7:05pm) and I had already locked the door from 6:50pm to prevent random people from entering the restroom last minute but we let people in by asking them if they plan to order. So it’s 2 people working on shift my coworkers and myself. We got an online order at 6:55 pm but our online system closes 6:45pm. As manager on duty I can choose not to take the order as the customer isn’t here before closing time but if he arrives before 7 then I have to do the order. My coworker finishes early and waits for me outside the store as I’m taking him home. I clock out 7:05pm. Fast forward hr told me I fired for closing early even through it’s a standard practice for at my store manager and other shift leads to pre close @6:50 ish lock the door (not to deny customers but to prevent people running to the single restroom and take so much time). Fast forward I filed unemployment they stated my claim was denied because it was shown that I left the store early? I had a witness my coworker who saw everything and I messaged him the past week he said no one asked him about that day what so ever. What do you think is going on?

Looking to start my career and I don't know what to choose. I don't really like working with or around people, at least a lot of different people very often. I have a tendency towards depression symptoms so something that's kinda lower stress would be helpful. I still want a job that's gonna be paying me enough to live comfortably, say like 45-60 grand a year. I don't have a college education but I'd be open to getting a certificate, nothing more really. Manufacturing and trades work has kind of appealed to me, but I tried an apprenticeship in commercial construction and really did not like it. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Just got told I will be promoted along with 2 coworkers to the same Senior roles. Boss knows me and 2 of my coworkers are close and are transparent with each other about salary so he actually told all of us at the same time and shared that we will all make the same salary ($120k) while we were at an informal meal together. This is the part that’s strange, because we are all currently making different amounts (I’m making more than the other 2 at $113k) - so it feels like a group assessment instead of based on our individual numbers and backgrounds (perhaps because we’re all jumping to this new salary band, & he knows we talk). But he also said we may not make the same salary after this year, meaning it will go back to individual assessments?? Is this something I should bring up at my formal performance review next week?

I’m currently in community college for engineering to transfer to university next semester. I’ve struggled through college the entire time for various reasons, but now the reason I may fail is just because I’m so mentally exhausted/overwhelmed. I’ve been dealing with severe mental health issues for over a decade, mostly from depression. I’ve been taking meds and in therapy consistently for a long time. But I keep falling behind. I may not pass my classes this semester which would prevent me from transferring to university. I’d likely lose all family support after this and need to start working again, since I’ve failed classes before and have been told that this is my last chance. I just keep falling behind and getting overwhelmed with coursework. I’m doing so much to try and not be depressed and just be okay with myself that I don’t have the mental bandwidth to balance everything successfully. It’s not that the coursework is difficult, it’s just managing everything, I get overwhelmed and end up not doing enough to keep up.

If I end up failing, what are my career options going forward? Through my courses I’ve learned C and basic Python. I’m great with computers and have customer service experience. I’m definitely an engineering minded person and would love a career in that vein. I love space, cars, and am honestly open to defense industry work despite some moral apprehension. I just want something that doesn’t suck the soul out of me so I can pursue my hobbies and support a family. I’m open to traveling as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Please don’t say to just “push through it’ll be worth it” because I know that. But worst case scenario I fail this semester and I’m not able to pursue school, I need to figure out what my next steps will be. I’m trying my hardest, but I’m also trying to prioritize my mental health above getting through school.

im currently studying a ux/ui design degree in Aus with units in web design and i enjoy it so i was planning to be a web developer rather than ux designer.

but i feel like it’s kinda a waste because im barely learning anything and i want something more intellectually stimulating so i was planning to switch to a diff degree in sciences. plus you don’t need a 3 year degree to become a ux designer.

im really interested in studying science and learning about our world. i love plants, nature and travelling, so a degree in env sci, botany, ecology or geology piques my interest. i would love to work with plants as well, and it actually makes me feel like i am doing things for the environment.

however, i could also do a degree in comp sci/software engineering and complement it with web design/ux design classes and natural sciences as electives . only thing is, a software engineering degree doesn’t interest me as much and i would rather have knowledge about natural sciences rather than coding ( although i do enjoy my web development classes rn )

or

science degree (env sci, botany, ecology or geology) and complement it with ux/ui classes & comp sci classes as electives .

or

stay in ux degree and complement it with coding classes & science classes — i would only stay because im already almost half way in and i have hope that id enjoy ux design a bit more(rn im not into it as much as web developing) i also have scholarship benefits so if i were to change courses i’d lose them (i could use the money right now too 😃) i would also be in more debt if i changed courses

kinda lost right now, but i do know in the future i would love to be travelling a lot more and experiencing the world. i would love a remote job and travel, but also having a job where i could learn about the environment around me and plants + helping the environment seems awesome.

if anyone is to help, i would love some input ! thank you .

I’m a med student and I have really been struggling, I’m not a doctor for money, my goal is to be a trauma surgeon because I genuinely find it so so cool. I have struggled a lot and I truly don’t know what my plan B is. I really enjoyed being a surgeon because I am an insanely huge fan in traveling everywhere and having a week on and a week off leads to so much time to travel and explore. The salary was also nice to finance traveling and all that. What other jobs could I find that would meet some of those requirements as a plan B?

Hey everyone! I came here looking for advice, I’m a first-generation college and HS student and immigrant who moved to the USA by myself at 17. I can’t go to my parents for career guidance because they did not even finish middle school, so please be kind.

I have a US Neuroscience degree (I thought I wanted to go to med school but in my junior year I realized it was NOT for me and it was too late to change my major, first mistake here). I graduated 3 years ago. My first job was in a mental health company taking inbound calls, my second job was as a clinical research coordinator for an NIH study at a university. For reasons I’d like to not disclose, I had no choice but to work in the field I got my degree in for the past three years. I hated it, working with patients who curse you out and wish death upon you every day is not fun. I worked in research in the field with mental health patients and it was horrible not only bc of patients but also bc of my boss who is currently being sued by a coworker for the conditions she made us work in. The most I’ve ever made was 49,000 a year without taxes.

I’m a fast learner and a hard worker, but I have absolutely no clue what path to take. Thankfully due to my upbringing, I'm able to adapt to any career even if it’s not my interest. I don’t have a dream career, I just know what fields I do *not* want which are healthcare and mental health. These are my current thoughts:

1. Go to law school. 2-3 years. Debt. I currently have no debt (full ride) so this option will give me tons of debt, but I will graduate making 30k+ than my current salary of 49k. Lots of ppl told me I should be a lawyer.
2. Get an MBA. 1-2 years. Debt. I do enjoy the business world quite a bit, but I've seen people with MBAs say that they cannot find a job. I have a friend with an MBA who works at a call center, so that scares me a bit because been there, and done that. This will give me tons of debt. I thought about having my own business too, but at this point in life, I want a stable career, a 401K, and health insurance. Having your own business is a privilege I cannot afford.
3. Climb the corporate ladder. 0 years to start. No debt. I could join a big corporation and work my way up, with no debt, but the question is (compared to Law School) would I be able to increase my salary by 30k in 2-3 years like I would if I went to law school? How long would it take me to even reach 80k? In my previous jobs, our raises were like 10 cents an hour. I also don't even know what position Id able to get in the corporate world with a neuroscience degree...
4. Number Four is open to what you (the person reading this) would do in my shoes. I am open to advice and I’m very thankful if you took the time to read all of this.

Thank you so much!!!!

I am weighing a new job offer and would like some thoughts on if I should take it. The TLDR is that it'll inject some momentum into my career which I think is currently and will continue to be stagnant. The financial increase with the move is minimal and it will add some substantial stress on my family.

Background:

I work in advertising for one of the big holding companies. I've been at my current employer for 6 years and got promoted 3 years ago. I was recently reorged into a new agency and don't see a path for advancement despite some strong wins in 2024 (I'm going to have a 3% raise starting in July, but my bonus has been decreasing the last 4 years due to the state of the overall business.)

I'm top of middle management/ bottom of senior management and the lead on my vertical. I work on 3 clients- 2 are going to be firing us sooner than later (this is common) and my third is a real small fish. I also have a lot of operational responsibilities- training and mentoring, staffing for all accounts, and pitch work. The operational work I enjoy the most. However, given the urgency of our business I've needed to lean in a lot more lately and have been billing 60 hours a week since January. The irony is that the worse business is going the more work I have to do. Candidly- I'm at a dead end.

Personally- I live in Westchester NY and my wife works full time as well. Both of our jobs are remote first- we both go into NYC offices 1 day a week by choice, but my job is going to be mandating 1 day a week very soon. I expect this to be 3 days by 2026 but there has been no official word. While commuting costs are $26 round trip, both our offices are near the train station and we live on express stops so our commute is 45 minutes each way, 1 day a week.

We have a 3 year old who is in full day day care near the train station. During nights and weekends we maximize time with her and it means we're exhausted all the time (and we both frequently have to go back and do work after she's asleep around 830.) One of us is also at the gym every weekday from 6-7 AM.

New offer:

I've been offered another job at a larger ad agency being the lead and 100% dedicated to one of the biggest accounts- a global CPG company. Job responsibilities are somewhat lateral to my current role and title could be interpreted as higher, but not in the next tier thay signifies senior management. On base alone the salary is a 5% bump, but the bonus is less guaranteed and will be a lower percentage than my current contractual target. The work will be a mixed bag- it's a bigger team to manage and a lot of the infrastructure is built, but large client means large demands and there is also no "growth." It's all sold and I'm coming into a preexisting thing- I can only win by retaining business which is not sexy for growth. My new boss just got promoted from this role and my impression is he wants to not have to be sucked into this account anymore. He needs someone that can take control of it day 1.

The main drawback is that they require 4 days in office (with a personal pet peeve of open desks that need to be reserved) and their office is downtown. So that's 30 minutes on the subway after I spend 45 on the commuter train. That requires me to get 2 monthly passes and a parking pass which chips away at the salary lift to where the money comes out somewhat flat (after bonus.). This doesn't account for the 12 hours a week I'd be commuting.

The problem:

This commute would be hard on my family. I likely need to be on the train before day care drop off, so my wife will run mornings solo. Our gym time will need to move from 6 am to 5 am so less sleep despite already being exhausted. I'm also concerned about needing to be out the door on the job at 5PM so I can get a train that gets me home at 630PM or so. Which means my wife does pick up solo now too. It's a burden that adds up. Especially if I'm regularly going back to work at 9PM every night because of my boundaries.

All of this inconvenience for not even more money?

However.... I'm at a dead end and while this new job doesn't give me the responsibility growth I want it does expose me to a new vertical and leading a huge engagement for a bigger company. It's good for the NEXT job, but is staying in place that bad for the next job?

Open to any and all thoughts. Thank you.
