Major in Fashion Design and then go to Med School?

Published

Ok this might sound crazy to you, but bare with me. So im 18 and plan to go to college next year. Im currently work as a cna and before becoming a cna I always interested in becoming a fashion designer. I got certified in high school and spent 3 years in a nursing assistant program and just talking and learning about the med field and healthcare, i started to wonder if i really want to major in fashion design, even though it's what i wanted to be ever since i was 12. Now at my age im thinking fashion design might not give me that promising future i could have if i go to medical school and become an ob/gyn. I am serious about the medical field and i want to become a doctor. I heard that it doesn't matter what you major in college as long as you get a high GPA and meet the pre-med prerequisites requirements. Do you think it's a good idea for me to major in fashion design and then do everything i have to do and then apply to med school? I was also thinking of going to college for nursing (BSN) since it's very relate-able to me, and then going to med school but i love fashion and i want it to be a part of my life. Doctors don't have to be uninteresting bookworms. Please give me some advice. Don't just read and go back. I need opinions so i could make up my mind, so please help I'll really appreciate it and take every opinion into consideration.

Heinous. Attitude. OP: I don't think you are ready yet to become a nurse or a doctor. Maybe focus on being the best CNA you can be for right now. Get ready for some confrontation should you choose to unleash this type of behavior in places other than anonymous internet forums. Congrats on your first ever job!

Dont waste your time, this is over. My post was not intended for entertainment. But to get advice, if i cant get it from people who i thought would be decent enough to. Then im done wasting my time.

You did get some solid advice from what I see, and then quickly implied that you work harder than any RN.. which would be the people you were asking for advice from. You were so defensive and I really don't think anyone was intending to be rude or belittle your desire to go into fashion at all. You asked for opinions. And you got them.

Hi Mel, I agree with the other poster in regards to double majoring. Become a fashion designer but if it doesn't pan out you will have another degree to fall back on.

By the way, I read Klone's post, she/he was giving you great advice and I didn't see anything belittling. I know working as a CNA is really hard work but same goes to a nurse. We do the same as your job duties and more. As for calling yourself a nurse, you're a CNA, not a nurse. For example a dental assistant is not a dentist or a medical asst is not a doctor. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

I do wish you luck in your future endeavors.

Cheers!
