After College

I'm not sure what my life will be like after I graduate.  I still want to live in Nashville, but in order to do that, I need a job.  I've applied to several research assistant jobs at Vanderbilt, and I've had one interview so far.  If I got the job I interviewed for, then I would be living and working in Nashville for two more years, which I like the idea of.  But at the same time, I was planning on taking one year off from school then going to medical school (if I get in).  I don't mind taking off 2 years before medical school, but my parents think I won't want to go back to school after 2 years.  I think getting this job would be a great opportunity to help me decide whether I would rather work with people or in a lab, but I also know that if I just took a year off and shadowed various doctors, then I would be able to decide whether I want to be a doctor at all. 

Father, please help me to make the right decisions regarding my future, and I pray that your will be done concerning the decisions made by others that affect me.  In Christ's name, Amen.

If anyone reads this post, please pray for me as well.  Thank you.
