So while this has nothing to do with investing, it does have to do with an important life choice that I have made. I am going to go ahead and publish it. I hope that my time and effort spent researching this subject will be of use to others who have to make the same decision.

I started out college as a biology major. It was an easy choice for me. All my life my family had bombarded me with dreams of becoming a rich and successful doctor. So as I made the transition from high school to college I began to take my chemistry and biology classes. they were easy enough for me; however, I found them quite dull and boring. So, as I was finishing my second semester of inorganic chemistry and chemistry lab I made one of the hardest and influential choices of my life. I started my research into alternative career choices. The saddest parts was that the more I looked the more appealing it became to stay as a doctor.
