Sooooo ______, what do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm pretty sure this topic was a LOT more fun to discuss when we were in kindergarten. Oh, the good old days. The days when our only worry was who had the best crayon box in the whole class. Let's all admit it, the kid who had the 64 pack of crayola crayons was obviously the king or queen of the class. Sadly our kindergarten days are long past us and we're in that weird and confusing transitioning stage from adolescent to adulthood. Suddenly the idea of having an official career is slowly creeping its way into our busy lives. Talk about being put under pressure! I do know one thing. I don't want to be forced into a career I'm not passionate for just because I was forced to choose one early on in my life.

Like other people my age I've had various ideas on what careers I'm interested in. Early on in school I quickly realized that math was not my forte. So I'm steering far far far away from any careers involving heavy duty mathematical problems. With my realization of my hatred for math I also noticed that I do really well in the science aspect of school. (except physics) 
I am interested more in how we behave, think, and overall how the human body works. 
 Something in the medical field would really suit me. It would also make sense since most of my family have jobs in the medical field. I guess it comes naturally to me? This may seem like a perk but it's really not. At the same time, I want to break that mold and do something completely different from the medical field. Forensics, crime scenes, and the justice system also interest me. The thought of helping solve a crime or receive justice is so incredible. I'm guessing you feel like you're on a mystery show every time you come to work! On paper  it looks like I have two clear career paths on my plate, but my thoughts are way too complicated to be that simple. I want to do a little bit of everything.
