<p>I honestly just don't know where to go in life. I've always liked the idea of being a doctor, and I actually enjoyed my Biology classes. The only issue is that to be a doctor, you have to take a bunch of Chemistry courses, and right now Chem is the bane of my existence.
Now, I really love English. I have FUN in English class, and I just love everything about literature. (Last week, I tried to explain my love of words to my friends, and they rolled their eyes :P) The only thing is, I feel like there aren't really any profitable careers to be had with an English degree. I don't want to be a teacher, professor, or author, so what would a point of an English degree (even though I'd enjoy it) be?
Lastly, I really like law. I'm on my school's Mock Trial team, Model UN team, and Model Congress team. I just find all the nuances of the American justice system interesting. I don't know how I'd do as a lawyer though.
So basically, I'm lost :D
Haha, I just wanted to complain and see if anyone actually KNOWS what they want to do with the rest of their life. So anyone certain of their future occupation?</p>
<p>I may not know what I’m going to do in my life, but I know how I want to live my life. I feel that’s already a big accomplishment right there.</p>
<p>Yes! I want to be a fashion merchandiser, with theatre on the side. </p>
<p>Sent from my PH44100 using CC</p>
<p>I have known what I wanted since I was like five. I want to be a veterinarian. Huge Animal Rights activist as well. Honestly I used to want to be a writer also, but it was never anything I was head over heels for. I explored my options for about a year then decided I am going to be a vet. </p>
<p>It will come to you. I also REALLY love literature and science. And there are tones of career options with those degrees. You should just take your time and decide what you want. I know people in college who don’t know what they want to do yet. Honestly I think that’s a waste, of time and money. Best decide before you go. </p>
<p>What kind of Doctor? It has crossed my minds becoming a surgeon (I think that would be the best job in the world)! And becoming a Psychiatrist. There are several ‘doctors’</p>
<p>You really don’t need to know what you want to do with your life yet-- you’re still in high school! A startlingly high number of college freshmen also change their majors from when they first enter, and it’s okay. Just take these years to sort of explore and learn about everything that’s out there-- there may be fields of study that you’ve never even heard of before!</p>
<p>And I have a vague idea of what I’d like to study, though I certainly have no clue if it’ll stay.</p>
<p>Yes I do. I actually kind of have a whole plan. </p>
<p>You could major and English and be a lawyer, because lawyers don’t need specific degrees.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about a career. I kind of want to major in math but I probably won’t end up being smart enough.</p>
<p>I’ve narrowed my career goals down to either business (investments or small business) or law. I’m definitely an English/history person (as opposed to math/science).</p>
<p>At this point in my life, I want to go to UPenn and do the Huntsman Program. I’d double major in International Relations and a Business major (probably Business Management). I’d possibly get a minor in Spanish, if possible. After that, I hope to go to Columbia Law School. Then, I’d have possible career options in law, business, and even politics (all of which I love).</p>
<p>I have no idea. I just can’t do anything that can take advantage of people. Business, law, politics, etc, I don’t see myself in that at all. Health, science, education, I want to help others, that’s all I’ve ever wanted.</p>
<p>I’ve known exactly what I wanted to do since September 2011, when I first started my internship on a Presidential campaign. I’ve been in love with politics since I was born (super-political family), but I never thought I’d make a career out of it. Then I fell head over heels in love with the world of campaigns and realized I wanted to be a campaign operative.</p>
<p>But my point is, until then, I didn’t really know what my passion was. Once you find what you want to do, you’ll know. Just take some more time to explore your interests.</p>
<p>I have a plan.</p>
<p>By 23 I will be ruler of the UNITED STATES OF KYPDURRON</p>
<p>I want to do major in history at university, past that I’m thinking either law or politics. Or if I’m really good, history writing :D</p>
<p>My road map:
Apply to a BA/MD program. (If I get in, major in some kind of history.)
If I don’t get in, go to a regular college, and major in developmental psychology. Then apply to medical school.
If I don’t get in, pursue a master’s and PhD in developmental psychology.
If I do get in, get an MD in pediatric neurology.</p>
<p>Then again, I’ve always got new ideas- like the idea to become a geneticist after one spoke at my school. (At the very least I’d want to intern in a genetics lab.)</p>
<p>My aunt graduated from a very prestigious law school, has a ton of debt, and really hates being a lawyer. She mainly files “motions” and “continuances” and the main focus of her firm is making sure she has enough “billable hours”. Not the career she had in mind.</p>
<p>I can’t get through a physics, astronomy or chemistry lecture without starting to smile like an idiot , I just love it and my friends think I am crazy. I’ll definitely be going into one of those fields.</p>
<p>I’ve known that for about five years now. Once you find your passion, you can’t let go of it. So, might as well make your passion your career</p>
<p>Anthropological Museum Curator along with owning a Cultural Resource Management Firm on the side</p>
<p>OP, i feel the exact same way. For real I could have written that post myself! I wish there were more solid, guarrenteed jobs to do with English (things like journalism can be very profitable, but it’s very difficult to get those jobs). As of now I’m thinking Law or Buisness is the way to go…</p>
<p>Double major. Computer Science and Neuroscience. Pre-Med Requisites. 4 years.</p>
<p>Medical Scientist Training Program. 4 years for PhD. 4 years for MD. </p>
<p>2-4 Years or so for residency, postdocs, etc.</p>
<p>I am nearly 35. I have many great options, but where is my life? I spent it learning, I will tell myself. So much intrinsically valuable learning. Yeah…</p>
