Hi! I(17F) am a senior in high school and have applied and been accepted into college for Biology. Lately, I’ve been having doubts and am wondering if this should really be the path I go down.
For context, I am from a first generation immigrant family with low income (I’m talking below 35k with both parents). The tuition is expensive even with scholarships and financial aid and although I love Biology, I’ve heard that it is really hard to find good, sustainable, high paying jobs.
I just need some advice. Should I stick with my major? What are some good jobs with just a Biology degree? I don’t really know what I would major in that isn’t Biology. I also feel like it’s a little late. College is starting in August and I don’t know if I would be able to change majors.
Again, I absolutely love Biology. I love being doing labs and studying it, but I don’t know if I will be able to support my parents with it.
