Well, I just got finished with a talk with my genetics professor and he made
me think about my future.
Right now I'm a junior undergraduate biology major at Ohio State
University. I want to pursue a career in research of novel medicines and/or
vaccines. However I have minimal lab experience. I cannot get any research
because of my rather low GPA, mind you it is not extremely low, but it is
not stellar. I believe that a GPA means nothing, because school has no
bearing on the real world, its just shows how you can remember material.
What I'm afraid of is reaching my senior year, and not being
accepted into a graduate program. Also, if I'm am not very good in lab, or
biology is just not for me, then I'll be stuck with a biology degree and
doing nothing with it.
I really like biology and find it interesting, but I do not know if
its for me. I'd rather to something I like and hav efun with, but from what
my teacher tells me it is a competitive field, and I do not know how I
will fit in. Any suggestions?
