career confusion

<p>hello </p>

<p>ok, so i pretty much had my mind set on becoming a dentist and applying into a seven year dental program w/ automatic admission into dental school as freshman.</p>

<p>but, i am not good at chemistry. it takes a lot of pain and effort to get good grades. and the thing is my passion is geography. but i have no clue what kind of job i could have with a major in geography. i didn’t even know i liked the subject until i took a class this semester. i know its not good to jump to conclusions, but somehow the subject matter instantly clicked in my head, and i find it extremely interesting and relevant [i also did really well in my history and economics courses] we are studying world geography- but its basically like how the earth we live on influenced history up till today! </p>

<p>but i don’t think i’d have a stable financial future and i want to become a dentist a) because it is an extremely clean job b) because i want to use my skills to help underprivileged people in Pakistan c) use my money to contribute to society</p>

<p>^ok so i know that sounds too philanthropic to be true, but that really is my intention. my mom also started working for the same reason- over half her income goes towards different causes that we as a family are interested in.</p>

<p>so. help me. i really need help. i feel like there’s a giant fork in a road, and im a deer staring straight into the headlights.</p>

<p>thanks, bumble</p>

<p>oh man im so excited- i talked to my parents and they are totally ok with me pursuing a geography degree if thats what i want to do. i am so so so happy to have their approval- totally means a lot to me! :slight_smile: sorry just thought i should mention it</p>
