I am a Junior in college and registration is right around the corner... and I still do not know what career path I want to take... I have taken interest survey after interest survey, and none of them have seemed to help. I think i have it narrowed down to something in the fields of Psychology and Medical. I know that a doctor is out of the question because I do want to have a life that I can spend with my future husband and hopefully family... I have been taking courses that are required for a Physical Therapist, but i am not sure if that is the career I want to persue... I believe that I am good when it comes to advising others, which is why i thought about becoming a Psychologist.... but I am also good in human anatomy... I believe that i would enjoy making diagnosis which is why I had also thought about being a Physicians assistant. As you can tell i am still really undecided and would greatly appreciate any input. I am very concerned with demand, hours, salary, and retirement.....
Any advice on what career path to choose as far as benefits, income, and demand, etc...?
I would recommend becoming a nurse and maybe a nurse practitioner (so you can prescribe medicine). Nurses are always in short supply and they make really good money. Though both of your other ideas seem really good too. Maybe you could try and find an internship at a hospital where you could see what the different positions are and what they do. That might give you a better idea.
Reply:the one that you'd be happiest doing, and feel most fulfilled in doing, regardless of benefits, income, demand, etc...
good luck!
Reply:Don't ever let anyone tell you that you have to "choose one or the other". Whatever you're passionate about, you can find a high paying career that involves just that.
Exp. If you like teaching, that doesn't mean you have to get near minimum wage teaching at an elementary school. You could become a professor at some college and earn big bucks!
