Today was a day!

Yay me! I went to talk to a doctor about becoming a doctor! Well sorta... Leme explain! Yay!

I am a veteran and I am trying to get the VA to pay for all of my school and there is A LOT of it. So I have to go into a veteran vocational rehabilitation office and request that they do this.

Being the government I cannot just get money to go to school. There are many steps to this process. Some of which I don't know and guess will not worry about until I come up upon them.

First they want to make sure that the job that the degree is suitable for me. You know so I don't get a political science degree and try my hand at acting. At first I wanted to do photography. The vocational rehabilitation people did not like that at all. They were always telling me about the market and how I wouldn't get a job after schooling. So I pulled out my second choice of career which is being a doctor. (I'll get into why doctor at a later date.)

In order to do that step they want me to interview or shadow a doctor. To shadow a doctor I must do many other things. There are forms, shots and a patient privacy thing I must go through. I, however, was able to talk to a doctor today and ask some questions and set me on a path that will get me to understand what its like to be a doctor.

So that path is going to be volunteering at the hospital! I think I asked the pertinent questions regarding what the vocational rehabilitation people want for now but I am going to go above and beyond that. I will be able to see what goes on and I guess prove to the vocational rehabilitation people that I want this badly. 

They also want me to look up the job descriptions of a doctor. Why I have no idea... Now I have to get in contact with vocational rehabilitation and tell them whats up. Oh and it took me a month or so to get to talk with a doctor! Fun stuff!
