Help Me to Choose the Correct Path ?
Posted by admin on Jan 8, 2009
Hi, I’m a pre-med student age of 21 yrs old and I go to community college to get my associate degree and wil get my 4 yrs of B.S ( bachelor of science) and then it’s medical school which i can’t wait for that day. I do have that very strong passion and Patience to do what ever needs from me in order to become a Dr. like my dad.
But one question that is my mind and it’s important as well, that I need a job beside these long years till I get to my goal .. I’m in a program called Phlebotomy which can help you to get a good job at hospital starting with $ 19 or 20/ hr. shall I do this and at the same time continue with my pre-med major classes ? I need help because some of my Friends told me that I should have FOCUS on my main major .. but I really need a job as well.
NOTE:
I arrived this country on 2005 january, and thank god that I have done almost all of my courses especially Math, English, and my GE ( General Education) which is genera courses that we have to take in order to take that degree. Also, English is my 5th language. I really like school life especially science courses. Appreciate your time for reading my massage and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I'm a citizen of U.S. already my dad been here since 60s .
If you are here on a visa, you need to check your visa to see if it allows you to work while you're studying. Some do and some don't. If yours does, you need to ask yourself whether you really can learn what you need to know while working and goign to school at the same time. Maybe you can; you know yourself. Will either your work or your studies suffer because you are doing the other? Don't forget you also need time to get adequate rest, or both your education and your job will suffer greatly. And, since you mentioned God, be sure to leave yourself enough time to spend with Him. Ofttimes when that suffers, everything else suffers and you don't know why.
Pray to see what His will is in this matter. Speak with friends about it. Speak with an older person who can give you some guidance — an older friend or relative. And, by all means, speak with your parents. Be prepared to really listen to them.
God bless you in your studies.
