At 18 I might have a target in life, but not necessarily a clear path of how to get there. When attending a technical university that has over 100 engineering majors, what can a student do to get the best exposure to such a wide variety of courses and labs, in order to make sure he didn't miss...

I am pursuing a career as a Physicans Assistant, but I am an introvert. Is anyone out there in the same boat? Did you find your introversion to be an asset or a impediment?
I honestly think that PA is the right career for me, and I have discussed my concerns about how long periods of time interacting with people drains me with a current PA. She is very introverted as well, and has found it to be an asset. I was hoping for a few other opinions, as well as differing...
