You need to sit down with a career counselor or advisor and have them help guide you. As we say in here daily, the "medical field" encompasses thousands of job titles. It's everyone from the guy delivering IV tubing to the OR recovery nurse to the CEO of the hospital to the CEO of Pfizer.
Figure out where you want to be in "the medical field" and your advisor will help you pick the proper major.
Be aware that the lower certifications (CNA, LPN, MA) are certifications not college degrees. An RN goes to nursing school, not just a "major" in nursing. A doctor majors in whatever he wants but does premed and then goes to med school.
For people who need to work in steps and are not looking at becoming physicians, then often a CNA or LPN program is a good first step. After you work for awhile, you can go back to school for a higher degree and continue until you are a DNP, LNP, or even CRNA, all of which are considerable pay bumps.

A lot depends on how much time and money you have to invest in your education.
If your resources are considerable and you have excellent grades, and if you can do without an income for many years, you could try for a medical degree.
If you have less time and money to spare, or do not feel you are cut out for the demands of medical school, you could try nursing. There are many sub-categories of nursing you can look into, and it is satisfying work for someone with an interest in medicine.
You could also look into technical jobs which are indirectly related to medicine: pharmacist, nuclear imaging technician, physiotherapist, laboratory technician, etc. Find out the college prerequisites for the field of your choice.

definite it quite is genuine the united states's commercial base is crumbling. This has been masked via extensive militia costs which won't be able to be outsourced, yet that too is being shrink back systematically. I choose there became right into a thank you to be useful, yet there is not any longer. as quickly as an commercial base has been dissipated, it quite is totally complicated to get it back mutually, as found out via mid-twentieth-century Britain. it is likewise no longer attainable from now directly to assert that cutting-edge recession is cyclical and that STEM occupations used via marketplace will leap back. There are deep structural issues interior the united states, and it quite is not clean that purely increasing (or importing) STEM workers will fix the subject. some STEM workers will proceed to do properly, and something undesirable approximately STEM employment is plenty worse with different sectors of the financial gadget, notwithstanding it quite is not attainable from now directly to have faith the projections of ever-increasing STEM employment and ever-increasing STEM salaries..

why don't you try med tech and then you can go to medicalschool or nursing? this way you can work with your bachelor's degree, if you decide not to go further.
