I am a second year community college student. I feel pressure to figure out what I want to do with my life RIGHT NOW. I always think, what if I make a mistake? What if I go to school for four years and get started in a career that I absolutely hate? I have general ideas of what I want to do and it’s to go into a health care career. Right now, my ideas have been health educator, doctor, radiologist, veterinary technician, veterinarian or psychologist.
However, I want to go to school and get at least a master’s degree. We have one life and I want to get a great education. But I don’t want to end up in a profession where I work more than I should. So, becoming a radiolodist or a vet tech would only require minimal degrees. And the others would require more.
I think about my choices everyday but I just don’t know what I want to do. Part of me wants to go to med school, but I don’t think I could make it. I don’t want to set out to be a doctor or vet and have my dreams shatter.
I always wanted to be a teacher, and be able to educate adults or teens about health risks, but I’m not sure if my shy personality would allow me to do that. And I love animals, and am thinking about other professions with wildlife I might be able to try.
Well, this is going to be an adventure. (:
