I always feel like switching my career path during the winter.
Freshman yr: I switched from premed to prepharm
Sophomore yr: dropped out and reconsidered why i was prepharm
Now: reconsidering why I'm prepharm again
I think I haven't fully convinced myself why I shouldn't be premed or prenursing or pre-whatever-else-in-health. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not premed anymore but the thought still pops up in the back of my mind sometimes. I don't know. I just don't feel anything when I say I'm prepharm. I want to be excited for the field, but all I can think about is what I'll be missing out on if I do go the pharmacy route. I like the gross stuff. I thrived and adored my anatomy and physiology classes. I miss the cadavers from anatomy lab and my stechoscope that's boxed up somewhere in my garage. Maybe it's because I've had so much exposure to doctors and nurses. I remember saying "I'll never be able to be a nurse"..but now..I don't know. Last year, a resident told me to look into surgery because I was so amazed by the venous gas they were drawing out of my wrist (I know. that has nothing remotely close to surgery except for blood and sharps. haha...). There's no way I'm spending 17(?) years in residency to become a surgeon. Nursing specialist can work though. I think that's why I considered...am considering PA school. I know I need more exposure to pharmacy. Anyways, this is my career plan-
In 3 years: be in some health (professional?) program (if it's a EMT or surg tech program, so be it..but I will get into a program!)
In 10 years: work in health
In 16 years: have a foundation for my dual life as an artist
