I want to be a PA. Once I graduate in May, I want to get a job working within the social service field and then apply for the master's program for PA. The program I want to enter is very competitive, so I may have to apply a few years in a row to finally get in. 

I want to be a nurse practitioner. Possibly get my doctorate and then teach college level nurses as well. I'm not even a nurse yet, so I have many many years to go until I get there, but I'm excited!

meadowcroft14 - are you applying for Duke? Me, too!

It's really tough to get into. I think I'll apply to several programs, Duke would be my first choice but I'm not prepared to wait years to get in there.

i want to be an art teacher, which technically i already am just cant find a job so i'm getting my masters in special education to contribute to the degree i already have (and so i can keep my health benefits till i find an art teacher job)

I want to be a neonatal or women's health nurse practitioner. I want my doctorate too so I'll probably end up teaching or doing research or something.

MESandBCL- no I'm not applying to Duke. I'm applying to the two programs in Wisconsin. at UW Lacrosse and UW Madison.

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up...BUT it has something to do with the elderly.  I'm finishing up my bach in Psych with a minor in Gerontology and then I will apply for a Gerontology and Law Masters program...I want a Phd, but right now I can only handle thinking about being in school for a MA.  Right now i'm working in Social Services for the 60+ population and I love it!

I want to be a Speech Langauge Pathologist... almost there!

Oh, I didn't even know they had programs there.

PA = Pathologists' Assistant, right?

I thought there were only 9 programs in country.

LOL I guess maybe we're talking about different careers.

I'm going to open a tea house (and I do mean HOUSE... a victorian house that is) with many tea rooms, tea bars, and a performance area.  and then I'm going to throw tea parties as if it's an art, baby!!!!!!!!!
