PLEASE Answer?! I’ll be your best friend?

I’m a junior in high school but this year I’m starting a two year course in vocational school for medical skills because I want to be a doctor or surgeon later in life. However I’m having second thoughts because a lot of people say everyone who goes to Vocs doesn’t want to go to college. Is this really true? Should I just drop out of Vocs and just stay in hs?

If that is what you really want, do it. Don’t take into consideration what other people say

Did an advisor tell you to go into Vocs because they know you want to be a doctor? Are you sure that the Vocs isn’t training for a medical tech. If it wasn’t a school advisor that told you to take the class, I would talk to one and make sure that the person knows that you want to be a doctor or surgeon.

If you are wanting to go to med school, I don’t think vocational school is the way to go. To be prepared for college and eventually medical school you need to be proficient in high level sciences and maths, which I don’t think you will be receiving from a vocational school. If you are not prepared for these college level classes as an undergraduate, you won’t receive high grades in college. Without high grades and a good MCAT score, you won’t even get into medical school to become a doctor. I’d stay out of vocational school if you really want a college degree. Vocational schools are trade schools and aren’t meant to further your education. Rather they are meant to teach a specific skill. A higher education would be more valuable, especially if you want to pursue college and medical school after that.

I think you’d miss alot by not being in hs. Look, you’re approximately 17 years old. Enjoy the social aspect of being young and in hs. There will be plenty of time for you to get serious about your medical aspirations after graduation. Good luck.

i think you should do what you think is right for you. Ther’s areason why you chose Vocational training..just go back to that take in the comments of others and see which is the best option. Don’t rush anything. Sometimes listening to people is worse for you.
