I'm a 20-year-old English/Journalism major and junior in college. Lately I have been feeling the pulls of my childhood dream of being a Pediatrician, which I wanted to be from age 6 to 16, instead of a writer/magazine editor. I changed my mind to writing when I realized how much science/math was involved in the path to being a doctor. I used to be fairly good at math and science (AP classes), but I mentally started doubting myself in those areas, so I switched my career area to writing.
I love writing...but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to even turn that into a successful career. I haven't taken any of the science/ math classes required for a Pre-Health major yet. Is it too late to switch majors and take the MCAT, or would I have to stay an extra two years?
Also...is it worth it?
Thanks for all your input.
