Essential?

College Majors

<p>So my parents are pushing the whole “You need to be essential” thing. And by essential, they mean that if there’s ever a big breakout or something, I’d be deemed important enough to get one of the first doses of vaccinations. The thing is, I’m kinda humanities-focused (leaning towards IR and history right now), and humanities don’t usually make you essential. I do have some interest in biology, however, especially in the field of genetics. But I really don’t want to be a doctor, or, rather, a practicing doctor. </p>

<p>It’s a bit early for this (I’m only a rising junior), but if my ambitions changed, I would need to rethink the APs I’m taking and some of them have pre-requisites. Any suggestions as to what I should do?</p>

<p>Your parents are really worried about you being “essential” enough to get a vaccine if a worldwide epedemic breaks out?</p>

<p>That is bizarre.</p>

<p>yeah your parents are pretty freaky…I am speechless. Do what YOU want. Don’t worry about your parents, you have to start making your own desicions sometime, college is as good a time as any</p>
