<p>How does this sound for my very first semester (14 credit hours):</p>

<p>Unifying Principles of Biology
Principles of Chemistry
Precalculus (BOO)
English Composition</p>

<p>If, by chance the biology or chemistry is full (they have 133 and 155 more spots open, and the first registration is may 30th, which i HOPE to get, i register for orientation tomorrow) then I will take Human Anatomy and Physiology.</p>

2

<p>Sounds like a pretty nice schedule to me, not too hard but definitely doesn't look easy at all. Those classes can be pretty tough so make sure you stay ahead with everything. Premed? </p>

<p>btw, "principles of chemistry" and "principles of biology" is that like an intro or is that the first class in the sequence?</p>

3

<p>Biology major...</p>

<p>No...there is many biology classes and there is chemistry 1 and 2 and organic chemistry 1 and 2....so its the first of many lol</p>

4

<p>And that versus:</p>

<p>College Algebra
U.S. History
English Composition
Survey of Chemistry</p>

<p>^^^ My sisters schedule...</p>

5

<p>AHeartLikeHis, I'm a biochem major I know whats up :P what I was asking if the principles of chemistry is your chem 1.. if its not then you should take chem 1 first. Anything below your General Chem 1 is kind of useless</p>

6

<p>thats a requirement....it is chemistry 1.</p>

7

<p>oh ok, yeah then you got a good schedule. so you aren't premed? what are you looking to do w/ the bio major? Any certain professional schools.. or do you want to be a professor?</p>

8

<p>I want to teach high school biology :)</p>

9

<p>oh man, high school?! I could never deal w/ those damn kids lol more power to ya.. but after taking those classes.. are you sure you want to just do h.s teaching? If you get good grades in a bio major you could be looking at 300k salary.. its something to take into consideration.</p>

10

<p>how in the world would i make over 22k with a bachelors in biology?! hmmm? I'd even go for a masters right away....</p>

11

<p>I meant things like professional schools(med, dental, pharmacy school). If you stick with that field and choose to do masters/phd programs you will probably end up doing research/being a professor as a career. If you like that, then its a great job way to go, but I think after taking some labs you'll be able to figure out more what you like to do!</p>

12

<p>oh heck no....oh HECK no...</p>

<p>The ONLY way I would EVER consider medical school is if I had a guaranteed job locally as a Forensic Scientist.</p>

<p>I LOVE teaching...I formulated a lesson and taught a Spanish class full of 5th graders last year.... LOVED it. But my heart is with science and high school...</p>
