College steps to career decision help

[scientifical]

I want to get a career towards my passion and together with a decent or higher pay which i decided into the medical field of mainly research and experiments,(not of md, medical treatments, doctor etc.) with jobs consisting of clinical science bs or pursued to specialized phd jobs, and physics. The category in which the career i seek is research and experiment of clinical sciences(cancer, disease, cures,) or theoretical physics mainly studying the world on why and how things work. Now the main critical point i passionately want is a position in the job field which where i can research and experiment(FREELY or given but not too limited), and have the privilege to newly discover more of it, find something new, and to essentially and of course own that work to myself having the chance of providing a colossal change and effect towards medicine/science - nobel prize.

Then you'll want to become a Ph.D. Biophysicist with tenure and your own lab. Have a fun 12 years getting there. Good luck.

There is not really such job as described in OP. Generally you are allowed to pursue research freely upon reaching tenure but there are major caveats. First, especially medical research requires serious funding. Thus, your research must be attractive for the major funding agencies. In addition, the ability to gain funding is a major point in getting tenure. Thus, what you want to research has to be within the scope of any given funding agency and can not be considered truly free. Note that as in a tenured position you are more heavily involved in managing science, as in running a lab, rather than doing the actual research and experiments (in most institutions).

Your job will be mainly split between teaching (huge chunk of time), administrative duties and managing people.

 

In short, as in any job you won't simply get paid to do whatever you want to, there are significant duties that may or may not be in your interest. That being said, you still will have more freedom in terms of research within academia than without. Just note that you will be dependent on funding sources and have adapt your research to it, if you want to be successful.

Like Genecks said, a kind of research (especially as in-depth as yours) is going to require a PhD, which is no easy task but still very possible. Take your interest in research setp by step. Once you obtain your BS go into research and see if you like it then. I personally hated research. I thought it was going to be all about discovering new bacteriophages or engineering some kind of new genetic mutation; when in reality it was making gels, counting seeds, running centrifuges etc. Also, any kind of research you carry out will probably be joined with a professorship.
