If you're stuck between two career paths, how do you go about deciding on one of them?
I'm thinking about going into graphic design versus becoming a Pre-Med student.

How to begin to shadow?
Hello, I am a pre-med student (freshman in college) and I am really worried about not being able to gain shadowing experience because whenever I ask someone how they shadowed they're like "My parents know doctors" and my family don't really know doctors and I feel like that's the only way people gain shadowing opportunities. Does anyone have tips? I already emailed a few doctors but I don't know if they actually reply. Please let me know if you have any tips! #college #doctor #medicine #student #pre-med #graduate-school #volunteering #medical-education
