you also accused me of not being fully invested in the profession. keep in mind that if an AA school applicant has life experience, it usually refers to some kind of previous healthcare experience or even a career in a totally different field. think about it....how else do you get life experience? also, how can you construe me saying that i should've gotten a degree in something besides biology as a sign of not being committed to the profession?
if getting a degree in something other than biology is a sign of being uncommitted, then that means that you must consider the biology degree to be the "default" college degree for an AA program applicant. how is this so? my bio degree classes focused almost more on plants and evolution than they did anything physiology related. anyone applying to an AA program has to have a degree in something, and there are plenty of them who don't have worthless bio degrees.
i said i should've gone through an RT program because then i would have at least been qualified to work a job that is actually relevant to being an AA, and which actually makes me more competitive for AA programs. in other words, since i am dealing with "down time" between the time since i graduated college and the time i will start an AA program (if ever), i have to be working SOME kind of job, so don't you think it would look better to be working as an RT instead of in a minimum wage job that anyone can qualify for?
please, please tell me how to get life experience with a biology degree, i will sincerely appreciate your advice and act on it. also, please tell me how having gone through an RT program, taking AA school pre-reqs as electives, and then applying to AA schools while working as an RT would be perceived by AA programs as a lack of commitment to the profession.
