Technically, I am majoring in Pre-Pharmacy, but as time goes on I feel like science is just not my thing. I am taking chemistry right now and I want to pull my hair out! I don't want to be one of those people that stays in school forever but I also don't want to rush through school and end up with a job I may potentially hate..  At first I wanted to be a vet, then I shadowed one..  I immediately realized I wouldn't be able to do it. The job sounds so admirable, but it really takes a special person to be a vet. I also considered physical therapy, but I shadowed a PT, and the job just looks unappealing. There appears to be a great deal of nurses on here. I guess that is something I never really considered. Hmmm. 
I will be checking back on this thread as well! |
Wow, sounds like we're in pretty much the same boat! I am just *SO* confused. There is so many options out there. I'm taking this semester off to get my thoughts straight and decide what I wanna do. I feel like I'm just wasting money and classes if I don't know what I want to do. Because, for example, if I choose the medical route, half the classes I've taken will be worthless towards that degree. I would love to be involved in media type stuff as I love computers, videography, photography, etc but it just seems like such a tough field to get into and I don't know! I just have a lot to think about. I would love to work with dogs one way or the other, being a trainer seems like it'd right up my alley and something I'm passionate about but I think that'd be more like a side-thing to do.
