As of right now, I am a sophomore in college. I am pursuing a double major in psychology and social work with pre-med prerequisites.
My decision to double major was last minute, but I am still very passionate about attending medical school after obtaining my bachelors in order to become a psychiatrist.
However, I am conflicted with what I truly want to do. I have had my mind set on studying psychology and becoming a psychiatrist since I was a sophomore in high school. Lately, I have been coming to terms with what my heart wants out of life and what I want is leaning more towards social work, and working with all levels of society. I want to study medicine and give therapy, but I want to work with children who struggle with more than mental illness.
I am thinking of going to medical school and getting a masters in SW at the same time, maybe getting my masters in SW before going to medical school.
What do y'all think?
