Hey all,
So currently, I am working on getting my Master's in Child Life. I absolutely love it. The work is fun and educational at the same time. Who ever thought that I would be coloring, drawing, making dolls, and observing babies would be part of my class work. True enough next year I'll have a full hospital internship to complete and currently I have papers to write and reserch to do, but so far it's great.
My advice, similar to the advice others have said, would be to find something that you love. I always wanted to work with children in a hospital setting but hated being in a lab doing chemistry calculus and what not when I was a bio major during undergrad, so changed majors to family studies graduated and found Child Life. It allows me to make a difference in the lives of children. Also, make sure your English skills are up to par. You will be presenting your ideas both in front of the class and on paper
Mainly, dont' be nervous . . it may take a while to get used to, but in time if it's the right place you'll know . . .
