So I've still not figured out what I will be doing as a career.
Ever since I was a child I wanted to be a doctor, however, as I got older I got more specific. No longer did I just want to be a doctor I wanted to specialize I was going to be a Neonatologist. But after further review I decided that 10 years of school after high school was not appealing and not realistic. I was in Jr. High at this time and I started to become interested in law, but I didn't want to give up medicine. About this time the hit series CSI came out. When I saw it I knew that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to investigate crime scenses. When to college with this decision, but within the first semester I decided that I didn't want to do this, because I didn't like all the biology classes that I had to take. I had taken a psychology class to take care of a gen. ed. requirement. This was very interesting to me.
I'm the kind of person that has to have some kind of plan for my future. So when I found that I wasn't gonna cut it as a Biology major I feel back onto Psychology. That wouldn't be so bad. After exploring my options I found that I could still do something very similar to what I had gone to college for. Behavoiral Forensics, that's going to work. But the thing that I really wanted to do with it was so much more specific. I want to work for the FBI, I want to do something that only 3 people in the United States do. What am I crazy, I'm never gonna get that job, there is no way. I was informed that I should have another plan, a back up plan. What should I do.
Well I like kids, and being a child psychologist wouldn't be so bad. My problem now is that to be a child psychologist the schooling is different than a behavioral forensist, the first four years are the same, but most child psychologists have a doctorate, where as a forensics degree ends after the master's program. I don't think that I actually want to go to school that long. Hmmmm.......
Well for now I will work on attaining the Behavioral Forensics degree so that I can do what I want to, and if it doesn't work, well I guess I can always go back to school for a while and do something else.
