English/Pre-med or both?

<p>I will be attending University of Iowa next year, a school that is fairly good in both subjects. I really enjoy reading, writing, and English. The problem is that I really don't want to be a doctor. But my parents think that the only way someone can find a stable career (that does not involve teaching) is by studying either engineering or pre-med. Their pressuring me makes me want to pursue pre-med even less that I already did before, and I'm not sure what to do. I know I still have time to decide, but I took a lot of AP classes in HS and should be done with gen eds by 2nd semester. Any help would be appreciated...</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>if you keep juggling like that, you'll just end up confused and frustrated. seriously. one rule of thumb i learned is, whatever my mom tells me to do, don't do it. i know, this sounds rebellious and whatever. but i'm not really trying to implant that on you. it's just from experience that whenever i do whatever my mom tells me, i end up wishing i hadn't listened to her. instead, i wish i had just followed my own plans straight through and i wouldn't have been so confused and miserable. Iowa is a very good school for creative writing. the top for MFA anyway. hey, if you're any good, you might get paid for writing. but you wouldn't know till you tried.</p>
