<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a rising senior in an ivy bioengineering program. When I was in high school I wasn't sure what to expect from the program, and my family really pushed me towards this major. It's been a true struggle since (gpa started low, currently at a 2.8) Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on how you look at your glass), I've decided engineering/research based career isn't for me. Looking back, I should have been an undeclared major to figure out my true passion. </p>
<p>Now I am stuck on what to do. My parents want me to pursue higher education because they are scared I will not get a job in this economy. My parents wanted me to do a PharmD/MBA thinking maybe it would be good because there is a solid job market for pharmacists, but then after talking to a friend and looking at the coursework I realized that 5 years for a rather routine job seems rather dull to me. They'd be happy with me doing an additional year of engineering to get my masters, but why do something just for the sake of doing something?</p>
<p>My past experiences include interning as a pharmacy technician, working at a retail bookstore, and lab research. This summer I can intern as either an accountant aide or work for a bioinstrumentation company (i think in the marketing division). </p>
<p>As someone who likes to learn things about myself through trial & error, I feel stuck. I am kind of intrigued by what goes on in the business world. I would like to give it a shot, but I don't know whether it is worth finding a 1-2 year masters program in economics, accounting, or actuarial science , or to look for a job right from graduation. There are a bit more intricacies to this situation, but I feel like i wrote the important details.</p>
