Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!!
You have opened up a new field of interest in me, and I love so far what I’m researching about future careers

Since you said you work in a biomedical research lab with toxicology, can I hear some of your experience there?
Pros and cons, anything about the job field that you’ve found out after entering it, how hard it is to find a job in your field, and also any personal likes/dislikes?

My parents have been telling me to thinking about that job in the future, what would happen in 10-20 years from now and if the advancements of computer/technologies could take away jobs from humans.

Do you have any concerns about the job field after being there? (and about pharmacology/epidemiology if you are also close to that area).

I just found out that med school and pharmacy school are pretty different. So would pharmacology/toxicology/epidemiology and fields like those be studied at med school or pharmacy school?
Please excuse me for my ignorance.

So from what you have told me, would:

1. majoring in one of these (bio/chem/neuroscience/biochem/microbio/etc) field with possibly a math minor with pre-pharmacy/pre-med intention while completing med/pharmacy school requirements

2. and then going to grad school for my specific field
would be a good idea to start with?
