#4 Current Major & Career Goals

My current career goal is to do research. I would like to study the proteins in the body or even how bacteria use proteins to invade the body. Right now, I would like to do research on a disease or bacteria or a virus. I would like to study more about MRSA, which is becoming prevalent in our society. It is in hospitals and society. This is not good because it is resistant to most antibiotics. This is bad because patients cannot recover and could potentially spread it to other people. It could also lead to death. This bacteria is still being studied and trying to make a vaccine to stop the bacteria.
My major is biochemistry and my minor is software engineering. Biochemistry is helpful in my career goal. Biochemistry is the study of metabolic activity in the body. It more specifically studies the various proteins in the body. This is important because bacteria use proteins or alter a cells protein to help its own survival. Software engineering complements this major. In research in any science field, programming is vital. In some careers, software engineers or CS majors are needed to make programs for the company. Making a program could help organize data and help in research.
In the future, im not sure where I will be. I atleast know that if im marired and could potentially have kids, I would like to work part time. I would like to take care of my kids. Im not sure where I will be career wise. Im not sure if I can do research part time. I could go back to school and teach general chemistry in highschool. Or even teach AP chemistry in hgihschool. My far future is unclear for now, but I just know I would like to be with my future family.
