Career Choice???

So I've been thinking... yeah, I know... Anyway... Ever since I was little I've wanted to be a doctor. I've always been about the blood and guts and what not but I've never considered any other profession. I guess when I came to college I was thinking that I would be one of those people who knew what they were going to be. But now, I've already changed my major once, and I'm really considering if this is what is right for me. I guess I also feel pressured to be "the doctor" because for so long that's what people have seen me as even though I wasn't even on that path yet. I feel as though if I don't become what they are expecting me to be I'll just disappoint them.

I mean, what if I decided I wanted to be a journalist. I love to write and the other day someone told me they could picture me in New York working for some magazine. I've never thought about it until now, but I could also see myself doing it.

I have all these dreams and I really want to achieve them. I want to travel. I want to live in London, New York, and LA for a couple years each. I have this idea of living in England and meeting my husband there... yeah, a little intense. But then I started to think about the dynamics of achieving all of these things and when you are on your way to becoming a doctor, it consumes so much of your life. And plus, I want to have a family. Granted, I don't want to have kids until I'm about 30, but still that's only 11 years from now. That's not that far away.

I guess I shouldn't be looking so much into this considering I'm still only a freshman in college but it's never too early to plan and reconsider your life... right?

I could totally see you as a journalist, or a writer for a magazine. I think that would be a good fit for you too. Its never too early or too late to change your life for the better.
