Hi,
I am a recent grad (class of 2015). I just went through on campus recruiting, and found a job as a Business Tech Analyst in Deloitte Federal. Very fortunate to have this job, as I am a Biology/Educ double major with no previous business knowledge.
I've always wanted to go to Medical School, and right now I am teaching middle school science (hoping to join Deloitte in Feb 2016) and studying for my MCAT.
My parents are really pushing for medical school, as is my fiancee. However, at a presentation I went to today about Deloitte Federal...things seemed promising. The structure, and possibility to go from a BTA to a Principal in a decade and a half seemed a much more economical decision.
I want some advice so that I might make a decision that is best for me. In my life, all I really want is
1) Enough time to spend with my family (Good work/life balance). I love kids (why I am teaching 🙂 ).
2) Good compensation. Dealt with lower middle class upbringing, dad was out of a job for periods in my life, and I very much want financial security.
3) I want to help people.
4) I want to be respected for what I do (something I do not have with teaching unfortunately)
5) I want to make my parents proud and provide for them in their old age
Any advice? If there are any Myers-Briggs aficionados out there, I am a sensitive, service-oriented INFJ who loves to spend time alone, but derives energy from helping and problem-solving with others.
Thanks so much! I feel so dumb that I haven't really thought of what I want out of life until I hit nearly 23!!
