Hey y'all! I'm a freshman at a great Southern university and I love it! Recently, I have been thinking about what to major. I know for sure that I want to work with people. I love interacting with people, making them laugh, and helping them. I can also usually read people really well, without much inquiry. The other side of this is, I want to have a career that provides security and comfortable life style. A career that allows me to travel would be great, too. So, I have basically come up with these options:
1.) Nursing. With a BSN I could go onto graduate school. I could become a Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Anesthetist, or get my MBA and work in the administration side, or even become a professor. All of these paths appeal to me. One of the negative sides of this option is, if I wanted to do the nursing program at the school I am at now, I would have to get accepted to the program which only takes 20 students or go to another campus two hours away. I love the idea of staying all four years here because I have already made friends and I am involved (fraternity, church, etc.).
2.) Psychology/Anthropology/Pre-Dental. So, it's true: you really find out which classes you enjoy most while take the general ones Freshman/Sophomore year. This semester I have discovered that I really love my psychology, anthropology, spanish, and communication classes. I actually look forward to going to them. They are all about people, which I love! This plan would mean getting my undergrad in Psychology and Anthropology while taking the Pre-Dental requirements. I just don't know if I want to take all of those science classes in undergrad and dental school. But, I do like the idea of being a dentist or Orthodontist: All of the people they see and the great money they make. The other side of this plan is, if dental school didn't work out, I would have the psychology degree to fall back on. If I decided that dental school wasn't for me, I would take more Anthropology and Spanish classes. I could then go to graduate school (Psychology or Anthropology, or get my MBA). I just don't know how stable the psychology field is and the amount of income for the time spent in school. Also, with this plan I could stay all four years at the campus I am at now, which would be great!
Ahhhh, so many options! Anyway, thank you so much for your time. Any advice would be great!!
