You're bouncing around like a ping pong ball and you should NEVER just listen to the horror stories, but in fact go talk with some people in the industry.

Now, since you're in medical style thinking, how about a MRI tech? Or the people who repair them? Just because the industry changes every so often, doesn't mean you're washed up after 4 years.

Or oncology, the toughest jobs are the ones with children dying. Anyone who can do that 8 hours a day for a few years and not crack up gets my salute of honor.

Writing that is proffered in a professional field often has expectations of complete sentences.
That means no abbreviations, no 'text' talk, and proper grammar and punctuation. Possibly that was what the other poster was referencing; not sure. Finding employment that is rewarding and enjoyable can be difficult. Wishing you luck!

As for law school, it's basically a dumping ground for people with liberal arts degrees, who can't figure out what to do. So they go to law school and waste even more money, then graduate and often can't find a job.
One of my relatives had to move to California cause he couldn't find a job in new York.

I've seen people take it to the media, that they are looking for a law job and hoping someone will hire them.

Since you're in your second year of college you have time to declare a new major. See what other majors are offered at your school. Take advantage of the career center there, they can help you.

You have a few months to do some serious thinking and research before its time to register for your Junior year classes. Don't waste it.

If you can't think of anything else, then major in business.

Good luck!

My mother was a nurse in the childrens cancer ward, she came home one day and told us how she held a little boy, he said he was afraid, she hugged him as he died in her arms.
It takes a special strength not arising in humans.

Not to be mean, but I would suggest you work on your writing skills. You're going to have to express yourself in writing through out your career and your current skills will prove to be a problem over time.

Special Education may be a very good fit.
