Hawthorn Woods, Illinois

I recently graduated from college and am currently taking a gap year. During this time, I aim to learn more about physical therapy and explore opportunities to work or volunteer in this field.

recently, I've signed up to volunteer at my local library, they claim it could look good on my future college applications, but do colleges really care if I volunteer anywhere? and if they do, will volunteering at the library be good?

I’m leaning toward pre-med, but I want to explore career paths of both an M.D. vs a Ph.D., and want to experience parts of both before choosing.

. .

Is there any way to do this without having to get a PhD?

Additionally, would it make a difference if I got double majored in engineering and finance instead of having it as a minor?

I am a political science major looking to enter the consulting profession but I do not know a lot of people who are consultants or majored in the same thing I did. I would like to receive guidance and come up with a career path to enter the business world as a non-business major.

what types of tasks do you do day to day in those jobs?
