Carolyn Hax: Career-dazed college student wonders how people choose their jobs
Hi, Carolyn! I've nearly finished my first year of college, and though it feels early, the pressures to intern and choose a field have started, from both my family and people at school. I've elected not to intern this summer, since I did the summer before college and want some time off, but I worry this might put me 'behind' others.

Body of missing Ohio pizza delivery driver found in ravine 'Sick to my stomach;' Ohio mother demands answers after police release missing 12-year-old 'We're sad to see the farm go. We know it's progress,' said David Dalhamer, a neighbor affected by the construction.'When you want to relax on your patio, it's a little challenging because you know, that's all you hear,' Kathey Dalhamer shared about the noise from the construction. Adam Howard, Assistant Chief of Tipp City Emergency Services, explained, 'They're going to drill, put some blasting material, some explosive material down in these holes, and then they're going to blast to break up the rock.' The construction project, which involves blasting to break up shallow bedrock, is expected to generate significant noise and dust, impacting the daily lives of nearby residents. Blasting operations are scheduled to occur up to twice a day and could continue for anywhere from three to eight weeks, according to Adam Howard. Residents have been advised to stay clear of the blast zone while crews continue their work, with construction expected to start on Monday. David Dalhamer noted the dust as a particular concern, saying, 'You had been here a week ago. You would have seemed like a white cat to all the grass and the trees.' As the blasting begins, residents are preparing for increased noise and disruption while looking forward to welcoming new neighbors once the development is complete.

2 more dogs move into Allegheny County Jail after first TAILS training program participant was adopted
Two more dogs have moved into the Allegheny County Jail after the first participant of the TAILS training program found her forever home. Through the Teaching Animals and Incarcerated Lifelong Skills program, women at the Allegheny County Jail trained Ethel, a 2-year-old, 38-pound mixed-breed dog, to learn basic skills that would increase her adoptability and prepare her for a permanent loving home. Ethel, now named Ellie, was adopted by a local family last month after about a month in the program. Next up: Niko the husky and Max, a small curly-haired mixed breed. "Animal Friends is thrilled that we currently have two shelter dogs residing at ACJ," Katie Vecchi, Animal Friends' chief shelter officer, said in a press release. "With the success of Ethel/Ellie, we knew that any dog who was transferred into the program would be shown endless compassion and dedication." Niko, a stray who arrived at Animal Friends underweight, got to the jail on July 15. He brought plenty of energy, greeting correctional officers in the visitor's lobby with leaps and licks. So far, he's already gained three pounds. Max showed up shortly after Niko. The county said all the women on the pod fell in love with Max, who couldn't wait to get into the gym and check everything out. "The two dogs there now are little more high energy (than Ellie) and need help with their basic manners," said Vecchi. "We are confident that the handlers at ACJ will help to prepare them for their new homes."
