Today I was talking with my mom about how so many people are going into bio and wanting to go to medical school but end up so confused because they don't know what to do with their degree once they can't / decide not to go to med school.
health is an issue i'm a huge advocate for because there's so many more options out there than medical school and so many more options where you can help so many more people than if you were a doctor!
But then i was thinking about a conversation i had with someone i met at Konnect. He said that a lot of people go into architecture thinking that it's one thing, but once you get in, it's something totally different.
I'm so scared that's going to happen to me.
I'm so scared all the things i'm passionate for now won't have a job later on or there is no job.
I'm so scared that although I want to develop a mental health system for Korea and Canada, no one will listen to me, and I'll be stranded doing government work where everything is drowning in bureaucracy and moving at the speed of molasses.
I'm scared that I'll become someone who's mind become stagnant in the day to day routine of work.
I know a lady who's an accountant. She was originally in bio.
My aunt has a PhD in organic chem. She's a homemaker.
I know a pharmacist who found her job boring so she went to teaching.
I don't have anything against these people.
I just like to know my future won't take sharp turns or that I'll be bored with my degree...
