I started off from high school not knowing what i wanted, i was between engineering and education, which covers a wide range. I went to a school with strong programs in both so I could delay my decision, and started off in the engineering program because it is easier to transfer out of engineering then to transfer in. I was going to do civil engineering, then i heard biomedical was a good springboard for med school, and figured why not. then in my 4th year i decided med school was not for me, and that I didnt know what specifically i wanted to do, but the field I was in was interesting and i would like to be involved somehow. this prompted me to pursue graduate school. looking at the logistics, i didnt have the money for a masters and didnt want the loans, so I worked for a year and am now in a PhD program in Bioengineering (PhD’s are funded+stipend in my field, so therefore cheaper than a masters). The ongoing theme here is that I don’t know what i want to be when I grow up, and more school delays my decision, while at the same time opening more options and getting me closer to starting my own company based on my own technology, which has recently become an attractive option to me.
