You Are the Master of Your Master's

摘要

As an undergraduate at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I vacillated between becoming a chemistry major and a mathematics major. By sophomore year, it was decision time. I could not see myself working in a chemistry lab, but I also did not see myself teaching math at a local high school. Uncertainty eventually became my livelihood, but at the time, it was a nagging tagalong. One fateful day in combinatorics class, a flier was passed out that serendipitously asked, "Do you like math? Do you like science? Do you want to explore a new degree?" I answered emphatically, "Yes, all around!" The solution to my major equation was a bachelors of public health (BSPH) in biostatistics.
