i have always dreamed of being a pharmacist. This year i am taking AP Biology, but i hate it. I hate every aspect of it. I now am considering leaving the science field and majoring in business instead in college (I love math). What do you think... is pharmacy the right choice? is it more chemistry than biology? (i liked chemistry a lot) Should i go into business and dodge biology?
help!
thanks for seriously helping

You have plenty of time to change and make up your mind! Don't do something just because the choice/option is there! Follow your true passions :) You will be happier in the long run... trust me though, i have changed my major at least a million times!!!!

You love math? Then be a math major like me. It's still a science. Teaching is of course the main profession in the field, but it is most certainly not the only one. If you like business too, think about being an actuary. They major in math and take a lot of business and economics. But it's up to you - good luck!
p.s. Try googling for descriptions of college majors and what you can do with them. You can always change your mind later.

take your time - most schools don't require you to pick your major until the end of your sophomore year/beginning of junior year. if you are unsure of what you want to major in, i agree with everyone else who has said this, you should concentrate on your core classes and electives so that you can get a feel for a wide variety of subjects. if you lock into a major and start taking classes in that major and decide after a semester you want to switch to something different, those credits may not count toward your new major. if that is the case you may end up having to take an extra semester of school. if your college has an academic advising office, that may be a good place to make an appointment to talk about your options.

I agree with teel on this. A lot can happen between now and when you get your degree. I mean I ended up going deaf 1 week before my first day of college....and my major was Spanish! For the first couple of years I floundered around and couldn't figure out a degree. I'm not getting my 2nd MA in library science and I have BA and my first MA in history....and I failed history in the 5th grade! When I had freshman orientation, our group leader was a senior who had changed his major 8 times! Don't pressure yourself into thinking you have to choose 1 major and stick to it. If you don't know, concentrate on your core and get that out of way. Once your done with core and you still don't know, think about the areas you would like to explore and look for classes that fullfill 2 or more of those areas.

What do you hate about biology? What did you like about chemistry? Why do you want to be a pharmacist? You will find that with anything to do with the mecical field, biology and chemistry are intertwined. I assume that you went over biochemistry at the beginning of your AP Biology course. That's the kind of stuff you'll be dealing with most when it comes to pharamacy work.

Are you still early in college? I say concentrate on your core classes for now.
See if you can get an internship or at least interview several people in each field. Ask them about the classes they had to take and if your interests will help you in that field. That may help you make up your mind.
Nothing is worse than studying for 4 years or more for a career you THOUGHT you wanted and then realizing you hate it after you graduate but don't really have anything else to pursue.
good luck

What I think is that you are still in high school & have plenty of time to choose a major (no matter what the guidance counselors, or possibly your relatives, say.)
You might hate AP Biology because of the teacher, or because of the pressure of an AP test hanging over you, or for any number of other reasons. Allow yourself the luxury of exploring what it is that interests you in order to find your eventual professional calling.

we are "allowed" to do something we want. the purely element the following about us is that we positioned extra concentration on the activity of others than on the egoistic pastimes of ourselves. To a human attitude, someone without an outstanding paying activity and someone who lives an worry-free life is considered an unsuccessful human being. yet basically because the social gathering of Jesus Christ, we are the happiest and the most efficient human beings interior the international. because what good is it to pursue a dream if we do no longer have Jehovah's help? that's actual what Jesus Christ suggested. He suggested that some have already lived their life to its fullest. And its unhappy that some human beings on the following imagine they're residing to the max at the same time as Jehovah provides so a lot more beneficial than to stay in this previous gadget of issues. Have Jehovah's Witness lived the life to its fullest? no longer yet, yet we can interior the hot international order.
