About
After taking Criminal Justice and Forensic Science and Business Management (BM CO/OP IN HIGH SCHOOL) I decided I wanted to be a medical examiner which requires a Medical Degree so I then transferred to what was at the time Georgia Perimeter but has now merged with GA State University to take pre-med. I did very well and was accepted into UGA's microbiology BA degree program and Emory medical (assuming GPA was within standards at the end of UGA) but Emory doesn't really do nights and weekends an I work for a living for my family so I became a Sprinkler Fitter/Pipe Fitter apprentice, now am Foreman decent money but hard work and will be crippled before retirement age, have 2 degenerative diseases in my joints and discs.. I have now learned there is a few less prestigious medical schools (but certified) that a full time construction worker could have a chance at...............I really am thinking of trying to finish my microbiology for pre-med and trying to finish one of those med schools, may not become world renowned specialist.......but should be a medical examiner or a PCP
