I took AP Chemistry in high school, and loved the material, all while doing very well. I got a 5 on the exam, and so as a freshman, I am taking organic chemistry. I don’t find much of the information so far interesting, and looking back at topics in AP Chem, they were so much more interesting. I loved the math and theories, which I know would be covered more in P Chem.
Secondly, I don’t really enjoy working in the lab. I find learning and discussing material while doing practice problems to kind of be my niche. With a chemistry degree, and even graduate school, I know career options are bleak, but do these options all entail working exclusively in a lab?
To summarize, I love studying the subject of chemistry, besides orgo, but don’t enjoy working in the lab. Is chemistry then not right for me as a major?

I went to college for exercise science. I am now in med school. I loved exercise science, but didn’t like the idea of being a personal trainer for financial reasons. So I went to med school. Now I find myself missing exercise science and using my own ingenuity and talents to enhance the performance of healthy athletes in creative ways.
Are there any careers like this available for a physician? Is there any niche I could create for myself? I am afraid there aren’t…I think my best option would be in a teaching role at a college with consulting gigs on the side, and maybe moonlighting at emergency rooms as a physician for the money. I would like to hear people’s ideas about how I can make the best use of my MD while also doing what I love.
