Which major requires more studying, dietetics or biological and pre-medical illustration?

Question

btw, i have a drawing talent, so drawing won't be a hard thing to me. And I'm interested in both majors, but I just wanted to know which one will require more studying as I have a job and don't have much time for studying.

Answer 1

What's more important--the job you have now or the one you want to have once you have your degree? The fact that you have some drawing ability doesn't mean that you would be able to whip off refined illustration work in no time. So perhaps the dietetics might take more "study" time but it's likely that the illustration programs will take at least as much "studio" time. They will also have anatomy and other classes that are study-heavy too.

You are talking about two very different career paths.

First, do some research to determine which is most interesting to you. Then think about your priorities and time management. Is the job to afford necessities or luxuries? If you can't cut back on the hours at work, can you attend school part time so you can do well in your studies despite having to work? You wouldn't be the first person to take six or more years to complete a four year degree. But you also wouldn't be the first to realize that perhaps school is more important than a job and making school your first priority will lead you to a satisfying career that is more than just a job. Good luck.
