I'm currently a full-time student studying for a degree in computer science, but I'm having some second thoughts about the route I'd like to take. I don't want to waste my time trying to win the grant/scholarship/unskilled labor lottery. I think I've found an alternative, but I need to do the research. What I'm thinking is that if I can become a certified tech in the medical field, I'd make a lot more money and gain much better experience for a career in the field that I would really like to pursue, which is medicine. As I said, there is much research to be done before I can commit to anything, but this looks promising and my family so far approves.
