<p>... doing a job you're more likely to get? I've had this dilemma for a while now. I'm currently a freshman thinking about my future school and job. Lately, I've shown interest in becoming a doctor. I think it'd be great helping people with health issues and whatnot--but in this day and age(lack of jobs, huge unemployment), I don't feel that just because you go to school to be a doctor you'll actually become one. And to add to that, I think I'd have a better chance of getting a good looking college application that focuses more towards computers than doctor-related subjects. Now, that being said, if I wanted to become a computer/software engineer, I know I'd have a way bigger chance of becoming one because of the huge demand for them and because of my gender. The thing is, though, when I picture myself engineering, I see myself sitting on the computer all day in tiny cubicles in a gray room with a water dispenser and Styrofoam cups(don't know why I had to include that, hahaha). But when I see myself as a doctor, I see myself saving lives and helping others get over diseases and illnesses. </p>
<p>So how do you feel on the whole "do what you love" saying versus a career that I'll have a bigger chance of getting? And if there are any engineers who can convince me otherwise, please do so!</p>
