I'm still in high school but I need to start making decisions about my future to plan for college. I am really interested in both careers and can't decide which I should go for. I thought about doing both but that seems like it would take a lot of extra college/more money... which one should I choose? or is it possible to do both? After all, teachers do have summers, nights, and weekends that maybe I would be able to work at a hospital as a rad tech...

I sympathize. I am a teacher and I have secret dreams of working as an optician on weekends.

But the fact is this: I work almost all the time as a teacher. I have very little time for my personal interests, my husband, etc. I work so hard that I dream about work every night. Adding a second job would be interesting, but probably way too stressful.

I would recommend that you talk to a guidance counselor at your high school -- or, better yet, at your college once you get there. You don't have to have it all figured out yet. It's okay to leave some decisions until after your first or second year of college.

Take an English composition class, an education class, and some science classes in your first year. Volunteer in schools and see how you like physics and biology. Try things out before deciding for sure.
