| I could copy/paste this post all over CC... gah.
I seriously think that if one were to present the entire world with every profession/academic study path available and had each person choose what would most interest them...maybe 5 people would legitimately choose medicine AND law. (Now, many more would legitimately choose one or the other.) However, due to today's omnipresent emphasis on prestige and societal perception, half the people in America believe they want to pursue at least one of these two careers, most all on pseudo realistic pretenses. It's annoying to say the least.
Solutions:
1a. Stop deceiving yourself
1b. Stop putting public perception and "the gaze" above your own ambitions
2. Open your mind
3. Use college as a base platform to explore different career opportunities
4. Follow your heart |
