Yeah! actually between the time I posted this question and now, I have had quite a few more experiences under my belt, and I’ve now decided business isn’t the path I want to start with. I mainly wanted business as a way to hone my communication and networking skills meanwhile in a hard STEM field (for startups and such), but I found out that what is better fit for my goals was public health. I’ve applied into some of the top public health programs for this, because the type of program really does determine the type of education I get (unfortunately, prestige does matter because what someone would learn in public health at a small school like Cal State Long Beach is nothing like the public health courses in Johns hopkins, for instance). The programs I’ve been admitted for do a great job blending hard sciences and math into social sciences and communication, so I’m excited for where public health will take me. I won’t name exactly where I’ll be going, but I am excited for what I will be doing in the future, whether that’s working for the government, pharmaceuticals, biotech startups, academia, nonprofits, or other.
