Any specific genetics?

human, fetus mostly. Its very facsinating stuff.

fetus's eh? tell me more! sarcasm

..I don't get it.

Genetics is interesting...but i don't think that i'll make a career out of it...frankly i've had enough of it in school

I've always known i wanted something in science, but lately my job/interests have been stearing twords genetics.

I'm more confused now about what I want to do than I have been in awhile. I've always been certain that I'd do something math related (engineering) or in the sciences. I eventually decided on medicine, but now I'm a little less certain. I'm sure I could do it, and I'd be able to get some help if I needed considering that my mom's a family doctor and my step dad is an emergency room doctor.I kind of shyed away from a career in some sort of scientific research, not sure why, it just became less and less appealing to me. Maybe it just seemed kind of dull to me. Being involved with something cutting edge would be great...I want to do something that's not step by step kind of work, do this task, do that... but something that is innovative. Science in general (as a career) is seeming so much more pre-determined and straight forward than it used to, and I haven't even finished high school yet. I love sciences and math, I'm just not completely sure what to decide on for university. General sciences doesn't appeal to me quite as much as it did previously... I'm taking a year off next year so I have time to decide, but it's still difficult.I'm also so worried about telling people what I want to do because then they make assumptions that I have my mind set towards something and it kind of disillusions me into thinking that way too. I dunno, I might not be making any sense, but I'm kind of unsure of what I want to do right now.

At your age almost no one can be certain about his future and studies. When I was 17, I thought that I'd study medicine. But I changed my mind last minute and I applied to Information Technology (software programming) instead. I realized after 2-3 years, that my decision was truly wise.

I was also good in math, too. But I had quite a traumatic experience with my math exams and now I fear them a bit.

I always just told people "Science." They didnt ask anything else, in my friends and family they thought science as sort of... off limits, and it was the only thing i was passionate about. When i was eh 12-14 i wanted to be and astronomer, then to marine biology, and now finally, genetics.

I understand how you feel! I don't know what i want to do yet, and it's starting to freak me out lately...all the people that i know my age know what they want to do: pediatrician, psychiatrist, pharmacy, police...i'm at a loss! Just the other day i had a thought that i would be really cool to go into pharmaciuticals and work for companies like Merck or GSK or Pfizer...but i need to research that and i'm afraid that i'll need physics for that and physics is enemy #1!! Followed closely by math...hate em and can't do em! I'm hoping that one day i'll strike it lucky and discover something i'm passionate about...hoping...sigh
