Question Posted Thursday December 10 2015, 7:56 pm
I'm a 19 year old college sophomore and am going through some indesicion to the point that its driving me nuts! You see, I love the idea of helping others, especially animals. It makes me feel so happy and satisfied whenever I can make someone feel better about something or just bring smiles to people's faces. I'm in an English major but I honestly don't feel satisfied with such. Today I went to eat at KFC (I'm currently going through finals, and tend to go to fast foods during this time), and when I came out with my roommate to head back to our apartment there was this poor dog smelling garbage bags. I had some leftovers I was going to save for later, but I felt bad for her so I gave her some of it. That dog has been on my mind the whole day as has been my 11th grade idea of becoming a vet. I dropped it when I realized my GPA was too low, that I was too sensitive to put animals to sleep, and that I wasn't sure if I could even gt through med school. Now I feel really bad about dismissing the idea so quickly.
I was thinking about transferring to another college to study Biology or Animal Science, but I'm just not sure if I should go through with it. People tell me I have the temperament, patience, and attitude to become a doctor, but I feel really insecure about doing a decision such as this. I was wondering, first, if there is any college with low tuition that has a good program? I've been looking but can't seem to find one I'm satisfied with. Secondly, I'm stil not sure if I should go for medicine, so I was wondering any other path to helping animals, from major to actual job.
