Zaini.

  I had a degree in Psychology, and went for my master in science major in psychology until my doctor advised me not to continue with it, i was getting stressed out and had liver dysfunction.

really?? too bad.. hope my doctor don't cause im taking up bs applied physics in UP (saw that your from the philippines  ) and it is really stressful. Im still not sure if im going to pursue anything else after that but i am planning to..

Ye,

do not let anything stand in the way for your plans and targets in life. You are able to do anything and if someone tells you that you must not do this or that, turn the other way and proceed with your plans.I am telling you this out of personal experience.

Very well said Lena

I have BS in Biomedical Engineering (in USA), and currently working at Roche Diagnostics supporting projects developing blood screening and viral load quantitation tests. My all-time-dream was to become a doctor (either Hematologist or Cardiologist), but due to some reasons, have not pursued it. Damn, I could've been an excellent Hem/Onc!!

Well, for now, I've worked in the biotech industry for 2 yrs, and now, I am just starting to think about MBA (I still haven't overcome my desire of becoming a doc), but am absolutely happy with what I'm currently doing. I was always interested in medical field but I also always loved math and engineering.  btw, my parents are looking for rishta for me in case you know someone who may be interested (just kidding  )... uhum... Back to the topic: Realizing how closely related my work is to my life as thal (blood screening and safety), is mind-blowing.

So, no matter what you guys are up to, realize what you have achieved so far (despite the challenging life we have outside of school/work)! From all my friends (all non-thal), I was the only Muslim Paki-American chic in biomedical engineering major!  I know how hard it can be managing everything at the same time and also sometimes not being able to share what you're going through with anyone else.

Just be proud of yourself!!
