Oh Science, Where Art Thou?
LatelyI have been thinking of enrolling in some online science courses and completing a second BS in either veterinary sciences or in a pre-med course. Currently I have narrowed my interests down to veterinary sciences or going on to become a chiropractor.
I have been interested in both occupations, but allowed myself to be talked out of them. In the case of vet school I have no one to blame but myself. I became daunted by the difficulty of admittance into the graduate program, and rather than failing I chose the easy way out and elected to pursue a degree that I knew I would not struggle with.
As for chiropractic medicine, someone (who I don’t even respect that much as a figure of any sort of authority or intelligence) made a snide remark about how chiropractors weren’t ‘real’ doctors. Considering they attend graduate school for four years and receive a PhD at the end of their studies, I would say the were, in fact, a ‘real’ doctor. I don’t know why I listen to some people…
This new interest in the sciences isn’t due to a waning passion for literature or writing; I do love reading and writing. However, literary analysis and writing came so naturally to me that I never tried anything different. What I have taken in science I have done well at, but I’ve still been weary of it for fear of not being the best. I scored all A’s in math in college, but if you ask me I will tell you I am terrible at it. I think I would like to try something that will be a challenge for me.
