This is crossposted from the December career advice thread:
I notice that the thread has gotten long and a lot of people’s questions are being buried (one thing I intensely dislike about upvote-style forums is that it isn’t trivial to scroll down to the end of the thread and see what’s new (“Oh, but you can sort by new if you want to,” one replies, and, sure, I guess, but unless everyone else with good opinions does too that doesn’t exactly solve the problem, now does it?)). The buried questions don’t seem less important than the ones posted first, and I wish I was competent to give expert advice apropos them/had a way to direct the community’s gaze to them.
I have a question of my own—regarding changing my undergraduate major—but I’ll wait for the January thread to ask it.
