Career Choices
Having heard from a variety of students, either attending grad school or an MD/PhD program, I am quite sure that grad school is in my future. I can certainly see myself working in a lab for some period of time, though it seems I may tire of it in several years’ time. However, with a more comprehensive understanding of cell biology, biochemistry, or whatever I choose to go into should come a heightened sense of enthusiasm that could be the driving force behind a lifetime of research. Just in case I do tire of such a career, the input of the career panel suggested that a broad range of jobs can be pursued with a PhD in science, further assuring my decision for grad school is a good one. As for the schools to which I’ll apply and hope to attend, I have 3 years to think about that.
