Question 10 • FL-1700380-Career Research and Decision Making

Scarlet is in her last year of high school. She wants to be a Medical Scientist. Which most accurately lists her educational pathway?

Answer
A
high school diploma → bachelor’s degree → doctoral degree
B
high school diploma → associate’s degree
C
high school diploma → doctoral degree
D
high school diploma → bachelor’s degree → master’s degree

Explanation

A medical scientist typically needs advanced research training, often earning a doctoral degree such as a Ph.D. After high school, the usual pathway is to complete a bachelor’s degree and then pursue a doctoral degree. A master’s degree alone, as in choice D, generally does not represent the full educational pathway for this career.
