Am I going for a wrong degree?

Question

Hello everybody, 
I have always loved to create and innovate. I like to build things and think outside of the box. I am also a very good biology, maths and chemistry student. I am planning on doing further studies in celular and molecular biology and then specialize in biotechnology. 

The problem is that I do not wish to be involved in pharmacology or anything related with medicine. I would love to 'upgrade' cities in order to help the environment. I want to build things with the aid of biology (genetics for example) while improving cities and the world.

I want to innovate and create with my knowledge, but I sort of need guidance on how to do all of this.

Does anyone have any idea how I can make this work? Do you know any companies that do these kinds of things? Should I get a different degree?

Thank you for your attention,
Alexander, 17

Answer

Guidance counselors get paid to answer these kind of questions.  You should ask the one at your school and call the one at your local college and go talk to that person (or any others at nearby universities).  That's a really important question and one you should explore with people who are trained to help.  I think you are going to have an awesome future!
