When I was presenting my research to the neuroscience faculty they all asked what I was going to do after I graduated since I'm a senior. When I told them my plans most of them said they wished they'd gone my route and started making money way earlier. I think I"m doing the right thing. Plus I'm young and I'll get to travel a little while saving up some money in the process. Also, I have all my pre reqs for medical school so if I decide I don't want to be in the medical industry I have that to fall back on.

If you don't want to be in the medical industry you will fall back to med school? 
I think I know what you mean.

Haha when you say it out loud it sounds kinda crazy
I'm just really tired of busting my ass in school and being broke. I'm forced to work shitty ass fucking food service jobs to keep some money in my pocket but all it does is stress me out even more. I just wanna be able to actually afford rent and bills and still live comfortably at the same time

Hell yea, I'm still trying to get there. Every day I work 10-12 hours and go deeper in debt.

op - school comes first regardless. working full time while in college is what my major source of difficulty has been. it leaves virtually no time for studying unless you're a robot who doesn't require sleep. that tends to take its toll after a few years. and whatever you decide to study, know that it will not be easy.

. When I was a senior my hemispheric specialization professor asked me if I wanted to go to grad school. I said, "No. I'm going to work. I'm sick of being broke."

Well I'm Neuroscience and there's no way I'm going for my PhD. I don't really like research or being in the lab to be honest. I'm either going into pharmaceutical sales or medical device marketing. I actually feel like I have an advantage over the people that got business and political science degrees since I have taken a number of pharmacology course.
My best friend from college, med tech degree, eventually got into med device and testing sales. Quite lucrative. You gotta have a sales persona to go along with tech savvy but you don't have to have super sales skills if you got the tech down.

Just be sober when you go to class/do your homework. And work HARD. Then you can pull it off.
