For College Age Members Only (17-28)

**FishFishRevolution** · 09-25-2006, 05:26 PM

I would like to do a survey for members of ffr who range in age from 17 to 28 years old (you don't HAVE to be in college as long as you're in that age range). After a sufficient number of people have completed the 5 questions seriously, this thread will be an open discussion of the topic I am addressing. I will not specifically state the topic I plan to study, as it may affect the result.

Please copy and paste these questions and post your answers to each:

Age?:
Sex?:
Desired Career Path? (If you don't know, just put one you most think):
Hypothetically, if you were to persue a career in medicine, would you rather study to become a doctor or a nurse?:
Why did you choose the answer you did?:
Why didn't you choose the other answer?:
Would you ever seriously consider a career in medicine, if money was not an issue?:

Thanks in advance.

Hypothetically, if you were to persue a career in medicine, would you rather study to become a doctor or a nurse?: Doctor
Why did you choose the answer you did?: Doctors specialize in one thing, nurses have to know how to do like everything... plus doctors are paid more.
Why didn't you choose the other answer?: Nurse seems like a meh carreer for a guy... not that I wouldn't want to be one... just doesn't appeal
Would you ever seriously consider a career in medicine, if money was not an issue?: Probably not.
