Starting college applications online is kinda a scary experience.
I wish I could figure out what I want to major in!
Mom wants pre-med, dad wants whatever I want and I'm leaning more towards communications.
It's unfortunate that I am not a science person and never have been, but I wouldn't mind having a medical career.
My mom said it wasn't difficult to be a doctor, and while I highly doubt that, the difficulty of becoming one isn't my primary concern. My primary worry is that I really don't think I could be a good doctor. That's why I'm leaning towards communications, and more specifically, design. Although the need for designers is much more lacking than the need for doctors, this career choice is more appealing simply because I know it's something I'm good at. True, I'm not the best, but I can learn and I suppose it helps that I love design.
Still, the problem persists: what to put as a potential major?!

Don't be a doctor. Too many hours. Plus, pre-med is the most competitive major. You can still go to medical school without majoring in pre-med for undergrad.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Brian. Plus, if I major in communications and the whole medical career thing doesn't happen I'll have a major to fall back on. Thanks! (:
ReplyDeleteHoney, the most important thing about being a good doctor is your ability of dealing with people. If you care about people in general and would like to make a difference in people's lives, you can make a good doctor.
ReplyDeleteAs I have told you before, we should all strive for the most challenging/difficult goals when we are young. It is not uncommon that one may have more than one career in his/her lifetime. However, if yo have accomplished the so called "most challenging" goal early on, you can feel free to pursuit other careers since you already have something great to "fall your back on".
