New user here. I'm actually a college student, but I wasn't really sure which forum I should post in (haven't decided on a major yet). The primary field that I'm considering going into is nursing, with entry into grad school being likely. Given that nurse practitioners are in high demand and anything that requires lots of science and critical thinking is something I desire, I am leaning towards this profession. Unfortunately, I am not a "people" person; I enjoy interacting with others but only one-on-one interactions usually flow along decently for me. While this job is one I could see myself doing, I don't know whether or not this job will require me to deal with excessive amounts of physical contact (I don't mind doing a little, but I prefer not having to constantly make physical contact with people).
Pharmacy is a field that would probably work better for me, since I don't have to interact with people as much, but I've heard that the field has become saturated nowadays. I want a career in healthcare where I have some independence to do what it is I need to do, be versatile (in case the job market fluctuates), and also have some opportunities to pursue research. I prefer to have to go to college for about six to eight years at most rather than ten+ years. Are there any recommendations or input that someone can provide me? Thank you.
