My Major and Different opportunities with it
My major is Health Science Informatics Track I chose this major because I am interested in the medical field. I started out as a Nursing major but I quickly changed in because I figured out I could do what I really wanted to do without taking all the difficult Nursing classes and having to pass the Nursing exam once you graduate. I am currently a sophomore so I am early on in my college career I still have a lot of classes to take and a lot of different careers I can look into with my major once I graduate. I have always wanted to work in a hospital since I was a young child. I have a passion for wanting to help people in any way I can so that’s why being in the medical field has always been a dream of mine. Having a B.S Health Science is become more popular today because once you major in Health Science your jobs chances in the medical field is very high because you are taking a lot of medical and general health classes which would allow you to branch off into several different fields. There is a Health Science Management track and a Health Science Informatics track with a B.S in Health Science Management you will need a Masters degree in order to get a good job once you get your degree. But with the Informatics Track you can find a job within a hospital with just your undergrad doing IT type of work and also you can find jobs in the Clinical Environment in a hospital.
