do you know any basic courses that a person wanting to go into this profession would take?

Interesting but I'm not sure I would want to go into research though. I thought it would be more interesting but Idk its not for me.

Thanks inow and cap n' refsmmat I'm kinda relieved now. Well I don't have a science course this semester so I probably will next semester. But I'll talk to my current advisor and natural sciences advisor to see what I need to do. Hopefully I'll see where I'm better off the most. it's a good thing I have time 'whew'.

I am an entering as a freshman in UT austin and I was thinking about going into neurology but I wasn't sure then so I chose architecture but now thinking about it again. I'm thinking about getting into neurology. The problem is I don't want to wait too long when thinking about what I want to do. I like art and design and coming up with ideas but at the same time as weird as it sounds I always been wanting to learn about the brain and have become very interested in the subject of the brain. I have enjoyed watching the health channel more than the design shows I see in home and garden network. I've been interested in health almost as long as I have been interested in art its just back then I wasn't focused that much about the human body as I was about art and design. I'm now reading a book about the brain and this really made want to think about changing my plans but then I thought, I really like design. There are some downsides and fun things about both fields but I don't know what to do now. Especially my schedule, I don't want to drop the architecture course I chose just in case I find it more interesting than I thought but if I was curious about getting into neuroradiology or architecture, what should I do to know what career I want to be in as far as what classes to take and stuff? Architecture and Neuroradiology are almost similar (ok not really) in education (long hours, years of education, internship, license and exams) but the downside of architecture is the starting salary and probably the demand for architectures in the future. THe downside is neurology is the long hours and I don't think have that caring or nurturing experience, I'm afraid I may not be good enough for that, I mean I'm not a cold person or anything. I like how there are many specific fields of neurology that you can get into. I don't know what to do right now. I looked into neuroscience but I'm not sure if I want to spend my days doing nothing but research. I like to look at images of the brain and know what the brain looks like when theres a problem and how it functions and then I found neuroradiology. I don't mind working in a hospital setting but I'm not sure about the managing patient care although it could be something I can get used to and learn to handle. I'm more interested in knowing the functions of the brain and the imaging. I understand the long hours and the medical residency and the amount of years the amount of rigorous work to do in the field of neurology especially radiology and if I do get into this field then it would be something I would work very hard for so it can pay off but for now I'm having a hard time picking what to do as I don't want to make any mistakes.
