So with the deadline of school ending, its forcing me to realize that I need to transfer to a university. That is a bit daunting to tell you all the truth. I know I want to be a Doctor, that much I am completely certain of. The only problem I seem to be having, is getting there. Before applying to med school, out here, I need a Bachelors Degree. It does not matter what in, I just need something proving I am capable of a higher level of education.
With that all being said, I do know what one of my majors is going to be. Linguistics. I like languages, their structure fascinates me to no end. I believe that will help me in some way when I become a Doctor, it will help me communicate with my patients much better, once there is no language barrier. But simply majoring in something like that, where its recommended that I duel-major, well I have to pick another major... and there in lies the problem, there are so many options!
Political Science - It looks really interesting, to tell you the truth, because most of it focuses on foreign politics toward the end.
International Studies - Which I have to take 3 years of a foreign language, or be proficient at it *and prove it* but sounds equally interesting. If I simply minor in it, I don't have to do that, and some of my classes would count for Political Science.
And well now that I have actually written it all out, well I guess I have kinda of figured it all out. I have no idea how I did all that...But honestly I dont really know If i could do all of that and work at the same time, i mean when i think about it... well I guess i take 15 units a semester and i am done in about 3 years ... or so... blah
school sucks...

School does suck. I'm sure you know better than I, but are you sure that it really makes no difference what you major in. It is my recollection that, at least in the past, it was advisable to do a lot of science if you were pre-med. Since science classes tend to be graded tougher, too, it would surely help you if you majored in a science and had a good GPA. Focusing is always good. On the other hand, I'm no doctor.
