Anything BUT Medical School??

<p>I'm a rising junior and I'm beginning to think about what I want to do with the rest of my life and all anyone has told me is medical school.</p>

<p>I like science and all, but I don't want to be a doctor.</p>

<p>It seems to me like most of the people on this site want to go to medical school.</p>

<p>Is there anyone who doesn't want to be a doctor??</p>

<p>Personally, I am strong in math, science, art, and I enjoy working with children. Does anyone have a major/career possibility for me to consider other than medicine?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>A science or math teacher maybe? Elementary teacher?</p>

3

<p>pharmacy, physical therapist,</p>

4

<p>An engineer, work for NASA, professor, maybe a scientist/researcher.</p>

<p>Engineering, forget kids they make lots of noise.</p>

<p>Seriously, Pediatrics would be right up your alley. Alas if you don't want medicine it is hard to combine science with working with kids, unless you want to look into mind sciences - which again could lead to med school but does not have to.</p>

<p>you could always do research if you don't want to be a doctor.</p>

<p>If you don't want to have an "in-charge" position in a research career like director of department X, then you could always be a lab tech, associate scientist, etc.</p>

7

<p>Nursing, art therapy, music therapy.</p>

<p>Are you Asian? It honestly seems only Asians are headed to med school. If anything on this site, the truly ambitious are headed for investment banking and consulting.</p>

<p>You really need to sit back and figure out what will make you happy. If you need help with parents, send them the recent thread on the parent's forum where they all said medicine was not a happy career.</p>

<p>lol i've adopted the med school or bust (literally) policy.</p>
