Neuroscience student pursuing passions over curiosity at last!

Hi!

I'm a senior Neuroscience student that has always had a conflict between my passion for economics, politics and philosophy and my curiosities in science. In the course of my degree I have pursued a series of challenging extra-curricular activities that led to forming my own society, winning awards for community service and running small scale political campaigns for student's union candidates. All of this has led me back to what really excites me (i.e. Business and management) and away from what I find only interesting (Science).

As such at the minute I am pursuing every avenue to learn what I can about the world of business, trying to bring myself to a comparable speed of those who chose a commerce-related major. I don't necessarily want to forget about my education; I've spent enough time on it to make some use of it, but I definitely want to change course towards a career in a suit, not in a labcoat.

I'm here because I know that I don't know a great deal. I don't even know what things I don't know about (that is to say sectors and areas that I feel I likely haven't even heard of). So any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
