What are some of the most flexible fields to work in?
Hi! I'm a senior in high school planning on pursuiting a degree in radiology technology. I want to pick a career that will give me flexibilty, such as the option to develop in leadership, having time to serve in my church, and possibly stepping back to focus on family.

I respect your concerns, and finding a balance can be challenging. The more detailed and technical the profession, the less likely the position leads to leadership, but generally allows more time for personal commitments. Careers that grow into more interactions with others are the ones that can be more demanding on personal time, often demanding more work hours each day. That isn't a constant, but it is the norm. I suggest you remove your plans for now about radiology and focus instead on exploring the college experience itself. This is your first time to make big decisions: what to study, when to study, when to enjoy social activities. Take courses that open windows to new topics; that will ensure that you become exposed to previously unknown opportunities. There is no need for college to be where you find the exact career. Instead, let it be the time when you find yourself, your own priorities, and what you enjoy. I wish you well.
