I just took a career choice finder type thing...

[skim milk]

and here are the results


Aerospace Engineers
Agricultural Engineers
Agricultural Scientists
Anesthesiologists
Animal Scientists
Archeologists
Astronomers
Biologists
Cardiovascular Technologists
Chemical Engineers
Chemists
Chiropractors
Computer Engineers
Computer Programmers
Computer Security Specialists
Conservation Scientists
Data Communications Analysts
Dentists
Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Fire Investigators
Food Scientists
Geographers
Geologists and Geophysicists
Materials Engineers
Mechanical Engineers
Medical Laboratory Technicians
Medical Scientists
Meteorologists
Mining Engineers
Nuclear Engineers
Nuclear Medicine Technologists
Optometrists
Physicians
Physicists
Respiratory Therapists
Surgeons
Veterinarians
Zoologists

which is a good field to look into? most of these interest me except for out of all the engineering jobs listed, aerospace is the only one that appeals to me... food scientist seems decent even though the pay isn't great, biologist and chiropractor seems something of my interest also
I'm just a bit concerned about getting into professional schools such as an optometry/medical/vet school like some of these require. any input is appreciated, thanks

why don't you try shadowing some of the people in the profession for a day?

hm...one would have thought u could give us a little more time to plan the rest of your life eh? hm...try emailing people in those professions? in addition look in the career handbook about each of those careers. Try talking to profs who're related in the area. Talk to students in the major. Look in your school's handbooks to see how many and what type of classes each major entails.

If you just finished your first year you have a ton of time still. As someone suggested either job shadow someone in your career or do an internship. You should find out now before you spend all your time and money to get to a career that doesn't even appeal to you.

i can't give you any insight to any one career path you have listed. however,

1) choose something you LOVE, no matter how difficult the subject/profession as long as you love it
2) choose something that is EASY, as long as you don't hate it, because you can always do what you love outside of work
3) choose a combination of the above: a profession that you love and is easy.

Depending on a person's capacity, they may or may not find careers such as engineering to be difficult. however, if they love the topic enough, they are more than willing to spend a lot of time with it. on the other hand, some people don't want difficult work... they like to do things that are fun and easy. then you got people that can get a job that they love and is easy. hrmmm... is that confusing?

Did you take this test online? If so can you give a link?

Thanks

good as in good money? any of the engineers is always good, especially computer or electrical. but only areyou willing to do lot and lots of math and story problems can you survive.

other then that, surgeons is good too, but medical school = lots of time.
how bout optomitrists??
