What job is the best for wanting to cure cancer?

My two year old son was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at two years old. I have went back to school and will graduate with a BA in psychology in a year.





Does anyone have advice on what the heck would be the best route as far as what job to take. I am willing to get a masters or maybe a master in public health. The thing is I thought about child life specialist but the potential income growth is not all that much.


Its not the money im worried about but I am going to start my own childhood cancer foundation which I will need to make decent money in order to fund all the start up fees and that stuff.


So I need a job with a modest income, in which I will help children with cancer. It could be as a researcher the problem with that most of the research involves biology, in which I have no training. I thought about research assistant, associate, ect but im looking for maybe a differ view or input. If I am going to grad school I have to start applying soon so Im hoping for info

first you should get the degree, then get a job with a charitable organisation, eg. Cancer Council or something. Their scientists are paid modestly for looking for cures and stuff.
Reply:just cuz you dont have bio training doesn't mean you can't go get some. start taking the pre med requirements to get into medical school. and your admissions essay will be pretty inspiring, when you write about your son.





I just want to comend you. you must have a strong will. I would definately need to be psychiatrically hospitalized or worse if my son died.





best of luck. :)
Reply:something in research definitely
