My Probable Future

Yay, my first real post !!!!!
So, today i was surfing the net thinking what i want to do with my life after SPM... I know some people would say that SPM is still a year and half away but you know what, i remember saying something like that when i was in form 2 about PMR and look where i am right now... A Form 4 student who is juggling 11 subjects(all yg got subjektif again dat !)...
Time flies so fast dat in no time i'm probably married with kids, TEEHEE ! Well, people keep on telling me that i should be a lawyer because of my talkative nature but i don't think that is something that i want to do as a career... I'll probably become a doctor, hopefully an oncologist (to those who don't know, it means a cancer specialist...)

Let me just state the reason why i choose this profession

1. It's a job with one of the best prospects around. Let me ask you, which country has an optimum number of doctors in the world ? You most probable answer would the US, England, Singapore or Australia right ? Well actually, there are no countries in the world that have an optimum number of doctors... YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT
2. This job is also recession-proof. Regardless of the economy, people still get sick. In today's economy, people don't want to waste money on unnecessary things like branded clothes, eating out, and companies around the world are laying off people like disposable tissues. However, you don't see that happening to doctors rite...
3. It is a very challenging yet rewarding job. Personally, i thrive on challenge to become successful. I don't want to get stuck with a desk-bound job writing reports, getting scolded by the boss, kiss the client's ass and so on... I'd rather be that someone who saves a father's life, prolonging someone's life so that they can make up for lost times with their family or even something simple like bandaging a playful kid's leg after they sprained it :)
4. People look up to you more. The doctor profession is very respectable. Regardless of what people say, other's opinion does matter.
5. And last but not least, the pay is very good. When i have a family, I want to be able to provide for my family as well as myself. I don't to be the type of person who depend on others to get through life.

Having said that, being a doctor has it's drawbacks as well. Here to me are some of them.

1. The studying time it takes to become a doctor. I have done my research and i discover that the fastest time to become a fully certified doctor is to 6 years and that is only in England. In the US, it takes around 8 years because there, it is all about obtaining credits. Other countries take roughly around 7-8 years as well.
2. The money it takes to futher my studies in that field. More time taken to do a course= More money needed. Not only is the course fees cost around 30% MORE PER SEMESTER, the semesters are more as well. Scholarship is definitely an option, but it is very difficult to obtain and they usually come with a bond to return and work for the nation (i plan to stay overseas because my horizon will surely be wide there.)
3. The immense responsibility that comes with the job. As a doctor, people's life will be at your hands. Surely surgeries will have it share of mortality. Sometime,a diagnosis can be wrong as well which can cause someone money, emotional problems and sometimes even their lives. As a doctor, you have to be strong enough to overcome the emotional attachment that comes with it.
4. A doctor generally have to be on call 24/7 in case there is an emergency. It might get in the way of the time spent with the family.

Anyways, i think that about sums it up.... I haven't been able to tell my friends my URL yet cuz i kinda forgot (what kind of person does that anyway, oh yeah someone whose URL is not rememberable). Before, my URL is kiss-a-bunny.blogspot.com but i changed it to annoyingmisfit.blogspot.com cuz that's my blog's name so i can remember and tell it to everyone, hehe....

What's the point of having a blog if no one's reading it anyway, so yeah if you are a friend or someone i don't know but you happen to stumble unto my blog, just comment, follow or whatever else that makes me feel loved okay :)
