Bachelors vs MD/OD
Hi, I’m currently working on finishing my generals at a 2 year before transferring to a 4 year to get my bachelors in forensic biology. And I’m in the current question of do I want to finish with a bachelors in forensic biology and then just head into the workforce as a forensic pathology technician. Or do I get my bachelors then move onto medical school, to become a forensic pathologist. I’ve wanted to become one since I was in middle school. I’ve always loved science and learning. And other career path options I’ve explored bring me the joy that even just studying forensics has brought me.
My biggest concern is, becoming a doctor worth it in the end? Or would it be easier to just be the assistant. Another concern is the difficulty of getting into med school as, I do have some struggles with learning primarily, tests. But overall I’ve continued to maintain a 3.52 GPA within my associates. And I’m continuing to build it up as the semesters go.
I just overall want the perspective of people who have either completed med school or are in it, and the people who choose to just be the assisting role.
Thank you for any and all potential help and feedback!
