Is it normal to pursue a job that is not my passion?
I've been thinking about joining a nine month class that teaches you how to be a medical assistant. It's a very legitimate school with a high success rate. I'm seriously thinking about this not because I'd love to be a medical assistant, but because it seems like a fairly fast way to get into a good job with a comfortable income. I know I would be good at it, too. I'm very interested in biology and the sight of blood doesn't affect me. Still, it doesn't feel like my true passion.
I think I will continue my education in some other field after taking this class and getting the job. I just feel like taking this class will ensure that I always have a career to fall back on.
