To All Prospective College Students

Congratulations on making the decision to go to college. So now you get to pick what you want to do for the rest of your life. This can be a very weighted decision, I know I've been there. My biggest piece of advice, after you make the decision on what you want to go to school for, is to job shadow, job shadow, and job shadow. Now if you can intern/work in the field of your choosing, go for it. Now my reasoning for telling you to do this is because when you actually experience what the job is like on a day to day basis, you may look at your decision and think that the career choice you made isn't actually for you. Let me tell you from a personal standpoint. I have always been good with anatomy and biology. I'm also very good with dealing with people, so of course I was put into the path to become a doctor. After my first semester of college I couldn't even stand the thought of going through another semester of that mind frying work. So I of course changed my major just like a lot of people do. After that horrible semester I got a job in healthcare and it completely changed my whole aspect on my career choice. I realized that I want a job that is in healthcare, but one that will be a perfect balance of life and work. So as I said before job shadow. You wont waste a semester or the time and money. I wish you the best of luck and I hope my advice works for you!
