I've just graduated exactly one month ago from a competitive public university on the west coast. I received a cumulative 3.01 majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Political Economy. For all of my undergraduate career I believed that I was pre-med. I did undergraduate research on and off for an integrative bio lab on campus and jumped around labs looking for something I found interesting. I also volunteered in hospitals my first and second year, but stopped after year 3 and 4 to focus on school work. Unfortunately, bio courses killed my gpa; I crammed many hard courses together and got the worst of it. My upper division isn't so great, and it is obvious that my science gpa lowered my overall gpa by a lot. Now that I've graduated; I'm at a loss. I've tried hard to find a job in a research setting, but my grades don't show promise. I haven't many internships under my belt because of school (I honestly feel that I am the type that studies quite a bit, but either because of the field I am in or the way I organized my classes has jeopardized my chances of getting a decent job).
Now I am seriously having a crisis. I don't have a job, and I don't know if I can get into a medical or even PA school even if I did a post-baccharaulette program. I'm not sure that I even love the field of medicine, many of my experiences in research weren't "real" and while I tried and maybe could have done better in science, I think it would be a struggle if I were to get into medical school - I dont know if I could feel success. Undergrad was hard. I'm currently trying to apply for jobs in finance/marketing by using the few classes I have had in my Political Economy minor. </p>
<p>I've been thinking about pursuing a further degree (masters) in economics, and going to school again. But as for what subject; I honestly don't know. Even though I just graduated; I'm not happy or relieved. It makes me angry that I didn't do well in school, but I dont know what else I could have done or can do now. Someone please help :-/</p>
