<p>I am a high school student and am extremely confused as to whether to become an engineer (maybe nanoengineer or bioengineer) or a neurologist.</p>
<p>If i choose to become engineering i will want to go to MIT or Berkley
and
if i choose to become neurologist i will want to go to Johns Hopkins. </p>
<p>Can anyone please give me the pros and cons of bio/nano engineering vs neurologist?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please be specific in ur anwsers.</p>
<p>Just a fwi Johns hopkins, while having arguably among the 3 best medical schools, is not by association necessarily one of the three best undergrads for medical school. I would also not recommend choosing your undergrad based on physician vs engineer, because it is very likely that any decision you make before undergrad will be changed during college. So, basically, I suggest trying to decide if MIT, UCB, JH, or another school is best for you and then sorting everything else out later. While engineering isn’t necessarily the best undergrad degree if you want to go to medical school, there is nothing stopping you from being a doctor with a BS in some form of engineering.</p>
<p>You really can’t say that there are Pros and Cons, both of these careers are very demanding, yet rewarding - it depends more on what you want, and your talents. </p>
<p>Try researching each career further, if possible, interview someone from each profession to get a real look at each career.</p>
<p>Really think about these fields and why you picked them, some good questions to ask yourself: which career do you feel better fits your talents and gifts, do you feel this is what you were meant to do, where do you want to be in the future? As I said, both of these are very demanding careers, what do you want your future to be like? Are you willing to dedicate this much time to your career, and an additional 12+ years of school and training to become a neurologist? What inspired you to pursue these careers? </p>
<p>Explore other careers related to these interest areas, there is a such thing as neuroengineering, you could get the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>Good luck, and remember; you do have some time ahead of you - sometimes you just have to give it time and be open to other interests that come about as your interests change and evolve.</p>
<p>With what mmmcdowe said, you should look for colleges that have all the majors you are looking for… don’t be deciding schools based on one particular major, your mind can change.</p>
