Vent, advice needed
I’m premed, and I stopped by the TNT tent on that Back To School Bash thing. I was only looking for a stamp tbh but I got told about what it was and the woman seemed like super excited to talk to me because I’m premed, a junior and I have insane science experience. I’ve taken more science than your average transfer.
I had a meeting with her and she laid out my schedule with TNT classes if I were to do it and I’m considering doing it because premed isn’t making me very happy anyway.
I love the idea of being a doctor because I love anatomy, physiology and science in general. I love explaining and I was pre-nursing. I obviously don’t mind gross things. But I looked into the actual day-to-day of being a doctor and it’s not so appealing anymore, despite the salary..
I’m considering becoming a science teacher instead which sounds insane. “Why would you give up medical school for teaching?”
At this point I don’t know what to do. I’m scared to tell anybody in my life that I want to completely pivot. The day-to-day of being a teacher is much more appealing to me and I would absolutely love to teach science.
For context I have pivoted away from healthcare more than twice now. The only things healthcare gives me is authority and immediate recognition which I love. I relish in people saying the whole “Wow that’s impressive!”
So it’s just got me torn down the middle.
