I'd have to agree with Ty here. Do what you like doing. My parents practically guilted me into going to Chemistry. Eventually I switched to Biology 'cause mom was like: "Well, if you don't want to be a Pharmacist like I told you to, be a doctor." Of course, when she found out what kind of doctor I wanted to be, she freaked out--But that's a different story.
Just do what you feel comfortable with. There's really nothing worse than feeling like an out-of-place puzzle trying to be put into the wrong spot.
What kind of doctor merits a freak out? Dr. Mengele? Anyway, thirded on "do what you like doing." But still, you should do cog sci. I need fodder for my future profzi scheme.
Forensic Pathologist. Mother does not like the idea of me being 33 and cutting away into a dead body. "You'll forever be alone. No one would want to talk to you. You'd smell like dead bodies. I WANT GRANDCHILDREN!"
And Cog. Sci does sound interesting. When given the chance, I shall have to find a good class. :3
^^I hope you like quote mines, Dumpling :-)
Hahahaha! Sure. My parental figures are full of interesting quotes. Oh hey. I got an award. I should check RWW more often. And...I have a penis size?
You're a woman, which is why it's blank :-)
I kid, I kid. That was Nx's doing.
Wasn't it a doctor of marine biology or something? Sorry for interrupting... back to my hole.
Haha. I don't mind. ^u^ And no. As much as I'd love to be a Marine Biologist, I'd end up eating them (The fishies). o___o...I had sushi tonight. Oh god, it was delicious. Ha. Random. But yeah, I've actually always wanted to be a Forensic Pathologist. (But then again, I've wanted to be a lot of things, singer/actor/assassin included.)
I'm a little bit jealous of you guys, because if I didn't have to worry about making a living, I'd be a writer. Of fiction, nonfiction, anything; I fucking love writing.
As it is, I settled on accounting. And before you think I'm selling out my dreams, there are actually two reasons I settled on accounting: Firstly, I, bizarrely, enjoy office work. My first and only paying job was at the county elections office during the 2008 Presidential election, and I fell in love with organizing things and filling out paperwork. I could lose myself in the glorious tediousness of it all. (Yes, I am weird.) Unfortunately, secretarial work doesn't pay very much, but accounting is basically office work with a four-year degree. Which brings me to reason number two: I actually enjoy working with numbers. My favorite part of RPGs is playing with the stats, and when I thought of accounting, I realized, "Wait, I can get paid to shuffle numbers around all day?" Thus, my current major.
