Family vs Career ?

First and foremost, this post has nothing to do with me.. Just a random one that I have been wanting to write after a few discussions with friends...

Okay... I'm not really good at writing.. But hopefully, I can just scribble this topic in here so that one day, if I have to decide, then I know where to look for answers..

After 3rd year, we are allowed to do BSC... Ie- interclated degree... To get double degree la... Another year in med school or uni.... Worth it or not ?? Well, I don't have to decide anything because it's out of the question totally... Mmg MARA tak bagi kot... But then, I have few good friends who are having the difficulties to decide... They applied for the course and some of them got in.. But then, they couldn't decide whether to accept it or not...

I always wonder what I wanna do in the future.. Secara jujurnya... GP is amazing.. I would love to be a GP.. Tu kalo kat UK la under NHS... Sebab kalo kat msia GP private la kiranya... So, down the drain.. Unless ade org nak uruskan the business part.. Obs and Gynae... Love it... But I don't like the theatre part.. I don't like surgery... After what happened during my 4 weeks of Surgery placement, I hate Scrubs.. and Masks... But then, I still have time to think...

Ok, berbalik kepada topic awal.. My friends ada yg nak kena decide nak wat Neuroscience ke tak.. Or something else for their BSC... Or not do it at all... Sebab another year in med school... Which means another extra year before getting their 1st job, and own money and settle down... But then, what if in the future, when u are applying for jobs or specialist training and u found out that u didnt get in because ada org yg ada BSC yg dpt.. That was the main dillema..

But then, for girls, most of us will just settle down as GPs... Kalo yg family person la... Sebab more flexible... Kalo nak compare dgn jd neurologist... So, u don't need a BSC to get into GP training right ?? But another question is, how do we know, what's gonna happen in 5 years time ?? Nobody knows... Since sume tgh single mingle skang, tak de la rasa akan kawen in 5 years time... My friend asked me once, what if we stay single forever ??? So, career is gonna be our babies.. And life... And what if we decided to do something BIG... And then, u decided to start a family and then, your specialist training tergantung sebab kawen, anak sume....

So, the main issue that we have been discussing all this while is, how do we decide ?? Because, my friend said that kalo dia dah ada stable boyfriend and tau akan settle down soon, that surely she'll decide to do something lighter so that she can focus on her family.. Sebab graduate nanti umur dah 25... Kalo nak tunggu jd SPR baru nak settle down, dah tua kot... But, kalo tgh single skang and rasa2 tak akan kawen... She'll go for the specialty of her choice.. Her passion...

See.. I'm not good at writing.. But in the end... nobody knows what's gonna happen... But we have to make decisions based on our life now I supposed... Because nothing is certain.. Like for me... I don't want another year in uni.. Easy ?
