I love germs, but don’t know what to do as a career involving them?
I love learning about pathogens, and microbiology has really interested me for a long time. However, the part that interests me the most is what the pathogens actually do to the body…not so much there structures, etc. I like working with microscopes in labs, but I think it’s much more interesting to see and treat people who actually suffer from rare diseases. In the field of Microbiology, I know that it’s a lot of research work…and I’m very social and couldn’t work alone with a microscope all day. I want to be a part of the process and being there in front of patients that have rare and weird diseases and help treat them…or at least do something like that. In other words, I want to work with microbes as a career, but I don’t want to research all the time and sit with a microscope all day!! I’m a student currently, and have been thinking about a career choice…I love medicine…and I just don’t know where my love affair with germs fits into all of this. Any answers would be nic
