How do I find a career that suits my interests?
I'm at that age where I'm starting to consider what I want to do with my life in terms of a career. Unfortunately, I feel like I'm not being sensible with my options. For example, I considered being an orthodontist, not because I like the idea of digging for treasure inside someone's mouth, but because I know it pays really well. I feel like a lot of people have this same issue, where the only factor they really look at is how much the job is paying, and I'm going that exact same route. What's the best way to find myself a career without being too stuck on one factor and not looking at the whole picture?

What was the most interesting piece of information that you discovered?
As a senior in high school, I have become very interested in the pre-medical route for my secondary education. For me, science, art, and music, are not separate passions, they actually all compliment each other. From drawing my anatomical diagrams to the analyzing the psychology behind my favorite songs or piano pieces, I believe that to be in the medical field you have to be passionate, and this is exactly who I am. Since I am always eager to learn, I would really love to know from medical school to becoming a doctor, what was the most interesting piece of information that you discovered?

Should I choose a minor that is easily utilized if my major is specific to a certain field?
I would like to major in conservation biology or wildlife biology, but it seems like a very difficult field to become employed in, and I was planning on minoring in psychology because I am interested in behavior and thought it would compliment a biology degree. However, would it be better to minor, or double major, in a more career-oriented field? Such as business, marketing, liberal arts, etc. They aren't especially interesting topics for me, but would they serve well as a backup plan? #conservation #wildlife-biology #business #marketing #liberal-arts #choosing-a-major #choosing-major ##choosing-a-minor #choosing-a-career #psychology #majors-and-minors #interests
