The key to making the “right” college/work decision for myself would vary in factors that affect
that decision. I would love to become a doctor in the military of the navy, but I would also want
to become a doctor in a nice hospital. One choice would take longer than the other, but I think
about the factors such as the time and money ima be spending and if the degree i want is in a
school near my home or away. I am currently uncertain about the school and the exact career I
want but I know that I want to go to a school in San Diego and then do travel abroad and after I
get my degree I would go into the navy or military and become a doctor there. I know its hard to
mae the “right” choices but, im very clear about the future I want.
