  "text": "Hello all in short I have finished all my Gen-Ed classes for college, i was Pre-med but that's not gonna happen (My gpa is a 3.0, not bad but not pre med worthy). Now I have no clue what to major in and am wondering why im at college atm since I don't know what I want. I am going to see if I can sign up for classes in various fields to see if I like them but I'm also considering taking a semester off to shadow various jobs to see what I like. What are your thoughts? ",

Think of nursing, physical and occupational therapy, physician assistant and many more. If you wanted to be a doc to help others, these should provide lots of strokes, too, and great advancement opportunities.",
