I would love to be able and research diseases and micros for a job for sure. here is an example of come classes for biomedical I would have to take. lmao immunology pharmacology micro anatomy med microbiolgy Hon res thesis organic chem 1 and 2 biochemisty human anatomy pathophysiology biochemistry lmao it looks like i will have no life until after the summer of 2012 which is when i would finish up these classes if i didng get into my dpt school. what do yall think? just suck it up and do what i got to do. ive been going to school for 4 years right now, that that would make like 6 years of going to school but i would come out good and have a good job at a college in the labratory Edited January 15, 2010 by FiBTLforlife Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiBTLforlife Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 thats all that matters bro that you get out and have a good job.But is it something that you'd enjoy doing? ow yes i would love to do it. anything that biology or dealing with working with people. so DPT and biomedical sciences is all i know. i dont think i would be happy doing anything else. my fam is not really a big SCHOOL type so when i tell them ow im doing this or i got a year before applying, they just say ow good hope it works out for you but kinda in a so so way. if i did biomedical i would like to work with cancer patients and evaluate their samples and try to learn more on it. if not that then anyone with a disease Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the thread hijack. what is it that you want to do man. if its somthing you will like to do then do it. school is only for a short time anyway, you got allot of years to live Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey634 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Damn man that's awesome! That's very similar to my goal, a degree in biochemistry. I wouldn't mind doing the direct disease/microbiology research but I'm more a chemistry freak so I'd be making the medicine itself. I love working out a formula, mixing stuff together, and *poof* out comes something else! I love science EDIT: oh and I'd say try out for the DPT, that way you keep your options open. Even if you decide you don't want to do it later, you'll only be out the application fee and some time, but you can't not apply, and then change your mind later!

I've been looking into the medical field, possibly lab work (something like histotechnology). But going back to school at 30 years old and working full time with a family, it's going to be a long road.

VistaV6 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I will know in 14 days whether I am going to UNC. I have been accepted to every other school I have applied to, but this one is a tough one...I really want to go there for undergrad. Shooting after chemistry/biochemistry...and basically doing pre-dentistry without being in a pre-dentistry program. Everyone thinks I am weird for wanting to be a dentist my entire life, but I can't wait for dental school!!! Anyway, if what you want to do requires school suck it up and do it!!! I don't really want to be in college for 8 years (plus 3 to specialize) But I want to do dentistry, and I know it would be worth it!! Here is something I have thought about on another aspect of this thread. Lets say another job that I would "love"... Flight instructor. I love flying and do it on a regular basis...my flight instructor told me he makes basically what a teacher makes. Now we can balance that out and say probably $30,000. From reading a lot about dentistry and having a family that's deeply embedded into it I can tell you a, lets say, orthodontist. Could make $300,000 a year, while being his own boss and making his own hours. So if you want to think of it like that you could work 5 years as an orthodontist, and then retire, and have the same as working amount of money as a flight instructor for 50 years.

Boon Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I work at a pathological laboratory and my mother is a biochemist... All the pathological studies are pretty damn cool but IMO it's a bit of a dieing industry. At work now we have so many machines that do the jobs people used to do manually. The one thing about them is that if you're good at what you do it can open doors for you to move into management type positions in Health industries... there's also a shiteload of money to be had out there, companies like Roche look after their staff (and with the money they make it's not surprising) IMO don't do Microbiology... it's probably the most hands-on department at work and they definitely see some of the coolest/freakiest/funniest stuff (sperm in an oral swab anyone?!?! ahahha) but half the time that part of the lab smells naaaasty Biochemistry, Haematology, Immunology, they're all pretty cool. Maybe even Histology or Cytology? Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
