Well, after that day i realized that the test wasnt mandatory, just a guideline on my decision, but it made a huge impact on my way of thinking, i started to think more and more about the pros and cons about going after a medicine career, it was almost 6 months until the schoolyear ends and still i havent decided what to do, i was scared to even show a little bit of confusion in front of my parents, especially towards my dad who was excited to see his first son follow his steps (like any dad would do).
But i needed to grow up, and it was time to take the problem in a more serious approach so i started making a real list of career possibilities, not just think about them, like real researching about them, what would i be doing in the next 5 years on each one of them (I strongly suggest ANY of you guys that maybe are or will go through the same, pick seriously, ask for advice, dont stay in doubt, especially ask people who is on that proffesion).
By the time i had my top 5 careers that i would like to study, guess which wasnt on it...yeah...Medicine was totally out of it.. THE REASON?..not the test..i realized it wasnt for me, i like medicine, but just as a hobby, something temporary, something that only was excited about for just a few times, sometimes on biology or sometimes at home with my dad's books, slowly i realized i hate pure theorical subjects (and in my country, not sure if its different in other countries, when u study medicine, u wont have any practice or sick people contact until your 3rd year in college, i wont be 3 years just reading books. NOP i wont
Here is the list:
- Biochemical and Fharmacy degree
- Electronical Engineering
- Chemistry Degree
- Physics Degree
- Electromechanical Engineering
But my decision was far to be over, many more events will come for me picking something that WASNT on the list......yep...i didnt study any of the careers mentioned above
