Grad School... Teaching... New Major Oh my

Oct 02, 2007 18:07


So I've started to look into grad schools. I'm not even sure what I want to do anymore. I've mainly been looking into forensic science programs but those only have one outcome once I graduate... being a forensic scientist. Not that I don't want to be one anymore, it's just something my supervisor said... "don't get stuck in this job the rest of your life" So with that I've started broadening into just general chemistry, but I don't know if I want to do that. So I've been thinking about education or going with this organization called Teach for America where I would have a job immediatly in the fall teaching chemistry and general science right out of school. But do I want to teach the rest of my life. I DON'T KNOW. My high school chemistry teacher told me not to waste my talents in the classroom. I don't know what that means, I have no talents when it comes to chemistry. But then I can start over and get a master's degree in something creative like Ad Design or Architecture, both of which interest me but I have no idea whether or not I'm good at it. I looked into the architecture program here at Syracuse (which would be nicely placed in Slocum next year) and it's a 7 semester program so that's 3 1/2 years but with my immense science humanities background from my undergraduate, it would be three. I don't know... I love this state of limbo I'm in when it comes to my life. All I know is I like the north east and don't want to live anywhere else in the nation.
