Question One

I thought that I wanted to study psychology when I go to college, and then specialize in neuropsychology when I get to grad school. But after a week of the pre-collegiate program, I'm not sure anymore. I really like all of the medical stuff that we're learning (and I think scrubs are cool, too). I know that when I finish undergraduate school, I want to get a job as an EMT to help put myself through grad school. Maybe if I like it, I'll go to paramedic school and just do that instead. But I can't see myself working on an ambulance for the rest of my life. However, I want to spend at least a few years doing that to get a taste for some of the reasons medicine and science are so important.  Lately, I’ve been considering becoming an anesthesiologist for my career. Or maybe a nurse specializing in pediatrics or oncology. At this point I don't really know any more than the fact that I want to do something in the medical field. The pre-collegiate program is exposing me to many different aspects of the medical field as a profession; I didn't know much about nursing before this program and now I find myself with an interest in that line of work. This program is helping me to see different things about medicine that I never realized. I want to make as educated of a decision as I can when I decide what to do with the rest of my life, and this program is providing an environment where I can learn about many different parts of the field I want to go into.
