bluestar Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi, At the moment I am a first year Life Science student at UT. My marks range between 80-90%; however, I am starting to doubt the path I had initially planned. I wanted to major in anthropology and apply to medicine at the end of my four years. However, I feel that this is the route of uncertainty. What if I don't get into medicine? Anthropology isn't a field I would depend on. As such, I was thinking, would it be wise to switch to a nursing program second year round? My friend at McMaster told me the students could start working as early as third year. IMO, this is a solid back-up since nurses are in high demand. Moreover, nursing would expose me to healthcare more than a degree in anthropology. I'm really confused. Any advice would be appreciated.

Guest begaster Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Do what you love. If you don't have a passion for nursing, stay away from it. It's a brutal job that takes a lot out of you, and if your goal is to be a doctor, you won't be happy being a nurse. If you enjoy anthropology, do that. If you're a good student, doors will always be open for you. Even if you don't get into medicine after four years, you can apply for a Master's or a PhD, and then try again. Besides, perhaps you'll find out that what you really want to do is stay in that field. University is about exploring your interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
