What advice would you give to a high school student wanting to change career paths?
I am a rising 11th grader, who originally wanted to pursue aerospace engineering since elementary school. Due to this, I have taken high school courses that aligned with the STEM path, such as engineering design and physics. However, as I researched more I found out that there aren't many opportunities (non-US Citizen in Texas) for me. Recently, neuroscience has sparked an interest in me and I looked more into becoming a neurologist. I haven't taken chemistry or classes that relate to this field such as anatomy. I am currently in a dilemma choosing between aerospace and neuroscience, and do not know how to address this as I am approaching my last two years of high school.

I know I want to become a neurosurgeon and that I definitely do want to do research before residency.

How do I know if I want to be in behavioral neuroscience, or psychology ?
I am 28 and have decided I’d like to go back to school. I’d love to study psychology, but more specifically behavioral neuroscience. I know this is a challenging field of study, I am starting off with only a few classes so I can get back in the swing of things and not overwhelm myself. I believe I would be an amazing psychologist, but my deepest interest lies in the brain itself. The emotional labor of therapy is something I don’t think I could handle long term. I’m afraid of biting off more than I can chew with neuroscience, especially after being out of school for quite awhile. Should I major in psychology and minor in biology or chemistry until I find where my interest lies most? I’m feeling very nervous about going back to school, and I’m afraid I’ll waste time going down the wrong path.

How do I go about selecting the right school(s) to apply for?
