What path should I start with to become a doctor?
What do I learn to become a doctor in 6th grade. I currently use Kahn Academy to study biology. Sadly I am unsure on how to continue what is my next step. Further I am worried with this job as there could be blood and death. I am also confused on why my parents get mad when I play video games.
I’m wondering what some good jobs in biology are, how to attain them, and why those jobs exist and what purpose they serve. I’ve taken living environment so I know a bit about biology but I want to know more about it.
I’m also in 9th grade and my favorite classes are English II, Algebra II, and Chemistry II.
What career would you pursue after graduating college with a Ph. D in Biology or Biochemistry?
I am asking this question because I want to major in Biology or Biochemistry in college but I am unsure of the career paths I can take. #college-major #biology #doctorate-degree #college-selection #biochemistry
How do I decide whether I wish to pursue a career in Medics, Psychology, or other branches of STEM?
I am an eighth grader that is about to enter a job-preparation program. I've always loved science, especially this year now that I'm taking a regents-level biology class. However, I've always found myself questioning the way that people think, and trying to make a "map" of their brains inside my head as they spoke, or described their thought processes to me. I'm also very into helping those in need, and doctor shows (no matter how inaccurate) have also sparked my attention. I am very confused and need help.
How could I develop a better memory for subjects like Biology and Spanish?
I'm presently in my freshman year of high school; I haven't studied much but have kept my grades in the 90s. Perhaps studying might improve my memory, but I am typically engaged in class and have excellent attendance. But mostly biology, I haven't been able to remember much material and vocabulary.
Any studying tips for pre-med students?
I'm taking advanced science classes, bio, chem, physics, etc. I am okay at studying but any new strategies would be great!
Is it a good idea to do a double major in Child Development and Biology if I want to become a Pediatrician?
I am a senior in high school whose passion is kids and science. I have heard that getting a double major is something very beneficial to do while you're in college but I am not sure if Child Development and Biology are the right majors to combine during college and if they are going to help me become a Pediatrician?? Thanks ! #biology #pediatrics #pediatrician #double-major #child-development
How do I get an internship in the medical/biology/biochemistry field ?
Hi! I am a junior in high school and want to get an internship over the summer in either the medical, the biology, or biochemistry field. I am totally fine without a pay, I just want the experience. I wanted to shadow a doctor but most hospitals only let college students do that. What can I do to get an internship?
I want to major in Biology but meanwhile where should apply for volunteer work or a job that is relevant to my major?
I want to be a an epidemiologist but first I have to major in Biology. Meanwhile, i want to start doing volunteer work, apply for internships and jobs but I don't know where to start looking. #biology
What can you do with a degree in biopsychology?
I LOVE biopsychology. I don't want to go into research, but can I become a psychiatrist using this degree? #college #career #medicine #psychology #college-major #biology #career-choice #doctorate-degree
Are there only certain forensic scientists that are asked to go crime scenes to investigate and gather data?
I am physically disabled and I enjoy and prefer working in lab settings. I wouldn't be comfortable with going to crime scenes and having to be extra careful with my steps or worrying about how I will help gather evidence if I have to squat or be in positions that are difficult for me to get in. If a large part of this career is being present at the crime scene for evidence collection, I may reconsider my decision. #science #biology #chemistry #criminology #laboratory #detective #crime-scene-investigator #forensic-science
What can I do with a bachelors of biomedical sciences major?
Hi, I am a current high school student who would love to major in biomedical sciences next year in college. I wish to work with children, as a pediatrician or something of that field. However, I don’t want to do lab-based work with my degree before attending medical school. I’m still also unsure if I even want to do medicine. #medicine #biology #doctor #biology #biology #doctor #college #healthcare

Where can I find good scholarships for STEM based majors?
This year I am a senior and as time quickly passes more pressure is put on me to apply for scholarships. Finding good scholarships would allow me to become less nervous about college. Also, STEM majors can be very costly. I would appreciate the help a lot!! #biology #women-in-stem
How will colleges view my academic profile?
So I accepted the apprenticeship for the rail company. But the problem is that it's every other day. (My school is set up as an A/B day with different classes on either day. So I go to the apprenticeship one day, and go to school the other.) So I can't take all the classes I want to. It looks like a great opportunity to get my foot into the door for the engineering industry, and it pays $10/hour for my first year, $11.50/hour my second year, and $13/hour my third year. I get an associates out of it and a guaranteed job after it. It's the first apprenticeship in the state, so I'd be one of the very few (12 or so) pioneers. But I will also have to quit my job that pays $9.00, and the people there are really fun. I can't take any AP classes during school, and I'll have to take online classes after school to catch up on credits. I'm just curious how colleges and employers will view it. I'm also doing cross country. So will it look better if I do an apprenticeship (It might be fun and has good training, but I honestly probably won't complete the three years)? Or, will a strong academic record with athletics and an after school job look better? #college #engineering #career #computer-science #medicine #science #technology #engineer #tech #college-major #education #biology #any #math #acting #mechanical-engineering #mechanical #english #aviation #military #chemistry #robotics #physics #airline-industry #biomedical-engineering #information-technology #writing #high-school #aerospace-engineering #pilot #aeronautics #ap #navy #author #marine #army #band #community-management #air-force #schedule #marines #armed-forces #hashtag #pathway #airline #career-pathway #fighter-pilot #raptor #civil-air-patrol #first-responder #business #fun #apprentice
