Former Biology major adult student- finish online or change majors? - daboywonder2002 - 05-20-2015
biology major. 101 credits. didnt finish senior year.my situation is tougher because its hard to complete a biology degree online. i went to school in virginia (94-97) but now i live in minnesota for work. how should i handle this. i want to go to a school that will accept most of my credits. i know some have a time frame. but if i have a chance to get them accepted, i have to take it. My ultimate goal is to either be a PA, NP, OR go to pharmacy school. right now i do tech support and i want to get out this field so bad. i just dont have a passion for it. Even if i went to school online, im willing to major in something science or healthcare related if need be. what should be my plan of action? i mainly wanna change careers from IT TO healthcare.

More information is needed. How many biology credits do you have?
Thomas Edison State College: Biology
Biology - Charter Oak State College notice that the age of some of the courses matters
If you want to go into healthcare, you may have to repeat some of your courses because they are too old. You have to become a registered nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner.
It's also possible you don't have a passion for IT because you've never been in a truly great work environment. You might have experienced a nice work environment or a high paying work environment, but greatness is more than those things. Are the people you work with changing the world? I didn't think so.
