Good idea! :)
College Major: BA in Biology and English
Current Career/Profession: Abstractor/Indexer
Description Basically, I select articles from medical journals that have to do with malfunctioning or misused medical devices, and then I write abstracts for the articles. I also gather information on medical device recalls and write up reports of the recalls for a weekly publication. It's interesting to see what can go wrong with medical procedures, but it makes you never ever want to go to the hospital.
Goal Career: I am going to go back to school to get a master's in biomedical writing. I am going to take a class in the fall to make sure I like the program, and then I'll apply for formal admission in either the spring or the summer. After that, I would like to work in medical or scientific publishing.
Past Jobs: I was an elementary school reading tutor and a biology TA in college and I worked at a housewares store during the summer. I also worked at a credit card company for a summer (I highly recommend that people work at a credit card company at some point in their life because it teaches you how to use them properly!).
