Women tend to go into social work

I do not know what men are doing, for I hardly them at universities, besides the odd one out, but ladies are concentrated in nursing, nutrition, public health, social work etc, and of late, I have observed a trend of their branching into, or switching to Com. Sci., a more male dominated field. Good for them.

Mostly in Data Sci., and could work for Google or Amazon. Consider intro. classes in AI & robotics to see if you like them. If you get in early, it is worth while.

Criminal justice? How interesting! If I wasn’t so worried about money concerns or that fact they may not hire a jilbabi, I’d love to become a detective or FBI agent. It was one of my dream jobs

Canada

when it comes time for me to do the LSAT, if i score good then ill apply to american colleges since american lawyers earn a lot more than canadian lawyers

And american law firms pay crazy amounts of money. 150-200k first year if you come from a prestigious law school
