Blah.
So I think I know what I want to major in now. I was looking over the school's list of majors online and I looked over the communication science & disorders major. If I major in it, I could possibly end up being a communication speech pathologist or an audiologist. The pay isn't as much as a doctor or a pharmacist or anything for sure (roughly about the same as a nurse; 50-something thousand as starting pay to as high up as 80+k...), but it's not too bad! I just wonder how easy it is to find a job with the degree. I did some Googling and stuff and it says that it's in moderate/average demand, and that demand will increase like, 10% or something within 2014. Don't know how accurate that is, but... it doesn't sound as easy to get a career with as, say, a RN or an accountant. It's also less stressful and not as in depth with chemistry/biology as other options in the medical-science-ish field. I'd still gotta take basic physics and anatomy/physiology and stuff though. But not bio/chem themselves. I'm also not sure if I'll have to get a doctorate degree later on, but as of right now, you'd only need a master's to actually practice audiology/CSP.
Anyway, I think I'll go to the academic advising for that department sometime soon (before spring break) and I'll see. Hopefully it'll work out!
