Help with college planning/career track/CNA?
Hey guys,
So I'm a Sophomore in High School with a cumulative GPA of 4.0, and I want to be a surgeon. I plan on doing my undergrad (chem or bio) at state school, and then med school from there. While I was taking my Medical Terms and Business Practices class, they told us about a program my high school and the local tech college worked out, where they set up 2 special classes for surrounding high school students to take a CNA course. If I'm accepted (there arelimited spots per high school, mine was given 6), and I pass and complete the course, they'll pay for the class. WIth my school though, they require some 450 hours of volunteer work before you can actually work in nursing homes.
But that's the thing, all the other kids that applied want to be nurses. I DO NOT want to be nurse. I am going to be a SURGEON, actually, an orthopedic surgeon. I was accepted into this program but I don't know if I am/should do it.
What are the benefits of doing it? What will I really be missing out on?
If anyone can help, I thank you!

Congratulations on knowing what you want to do with your life! My question is how would CNA training have anything to do with becoming a surgeon? As far as I know, a CNA takes care of basic patient needs. Unless you're having trouble with learning compassion, CNA training is only going to slow you down. Is this a good chance? Yes. Is this the best chance for training to be a surgeon? No. My opinion means nothing, but I only wanted to point out that in America we have so many choices; we have to go for what is best, not just what is good, for us.
FYI: William Carey University in Hattiesburg, MS, became the 29th orthopedic medical university in the U.S. (last year, I believe). The degree costs $38,000.
