<p>i don't know what i want to do in the future, but i have some general ideas</p>
<p>i'm good at sciences (never liked them really, they're just easy)
ive wanted to go into business for a while, but i really don't know</p>
<p>my mom came up with an idea today that was pretty fresh. she suggested that i major in biology for undergrad, opening up many potential graduate routes: </p>
<p>law(specialized law? does this exist? i've heard about special lawyers for separate fields</p>
<p>medicine (this one is obvious)</p>
<p>and even business (again, dealing with the specific field of medicine or biology)</p>
<p>and interesting idea, but is it practical? i'm just trying to play my strengths and interests into a future career... any suggestions?</p>
<p>btw i had an A+ 760 in chem, B+ 5AP in bio (the B+ is because i was lazy and didn't study or do work. for me, it was the easiest class ever), and now an A+ in physics AP. i also have a lot of business ECs, so if i could combine my strengths, that would be sweet</p>
<p>one last thing
if this DOES make sense to anyone, what kind of schools should i be looking at? my list right now is heavily business focused, but i don't think i'm the best speaker and i'm not sure how i would turn out making deals and dealing with people all day.</p>
<ol>
<li> You're good at science, but don't really like it</li>
<li> Interested in business</li>
<li> Not a great speaker</li>
<li> Doesn't want to "deal" with people all day</li>
</ol>
<p>I would look at the law route, especially patent or intellectual property law. You could get an MBA/JD if that appeals to you, but the MBA portion will generally lead you to "deal" with people. Also, with patent law you rarely have to speak in front of a large amount of people, this plays to your science ability (the rote stuff should help with law), and a law degree as well as patent attornies play an integral part in many tech businesses.</p>
<p>I would get a BS in whatever science you want in order to target yourself to a specific industry. Most patent and IP attornies are industry specific and will have undergrad degrees relevant to the field. Thus, a BS in Bio or MicroBio. coupled with a JD will lead you to the biotech/pharma or medical industries. Google "patent attorney + your area", most firms give profiles of their attorneys.</p>
<p>You can improve your speaking skills. That's not really a big deal. </p>
<p>Also, you definitely have to deal with people in business. So, if you do choose an MBA route at some point, you should probably improve your people skills and be open to dealing with people. You can be an introvert (according to Myers Briggs test) and still be successful in business. However, this means that you have to break out of your comfort zone by being pro-active and engaging with people.</p>
<p>my big question still hasnt been answered though</p>
<p>would doing a science major and then going into a different field (such as business, law, etc.) actually work? Does the world need (businessmen, lawyers, etc.) that deal in specific fields, such as the sciences?</p>
<p>Yes - a science degree going into business/law will work out fine. Just to be safe, I'd recommend perhaps a dual degree in economics or finance as well.
In the meantime, you appear to still be in high school (or brand new to college) so I'd advise you to see how you do in collegiate intro and advanced science courses before saying that it is "easy."</p>
