College: I know what I want to do, but not what I want to be/major in
I have always wanted to be in the medical field but not as a pediatrician or just talking to people. I don’t necessarily know what I should call what I want to be either..I want to be the one to do the research, discover cures in cancer/diseases, do lab work on people to find what they have or need, perform treatments, maybe make medicines and alter the chemicals, I wish to be the brains of the field and make a difference. I want to work hands on with stuff, I don’t really care if I work with people one on one and I am very smart with science and medical.
What would I call what I want to be? What major and is premed needed?
I do modeling, write/play/sing music, photography, and have had my paintings in state art shows. I also do sports and theater but I don’t want a career in those two. I am an art therapist at the children’s cancer hospital. I have quite a bit of knowledge on the topic of oncology, neurology and drugs. I am a skin cancer survivor, neurology patient and on painkillers.
Is there another field I can go into that deals with those? I want to prevent what I went through the best I can for others.. Is there also anything that can mix my talents into a medical job or simply side job that I can make a living off of?
One or all questions answered is good enough for me, thanks!

You should look into working for the CDC. They do a lot of lab work with diseases and keep the diseases under control.
