Seriously, the life sciences conundrum article affected many. The morale of the life sciences' students dropped tremendously, as the idea of being a test tube washer still lingers everywhere in school. In fact, a few uni pals of mine are already considering about changing their course.
To be frank, the bubble bursting story did shaken me a little. Afterall, being a guy, and an ambitious one, a good career is definitely something I need to fufill the egoistic cravings I have. A successful career equals to financial stabilty, and both are as important to boost the status of a man (or woman). To add on, living in an urbanised country like Singapore, besides the basic essential needs, one still have to prepare himself for the ever upgrading and developing city. At the end of the day, I would wish to start a family of my own, provide them with luxury (besides love and concern), live in a condo, drive a more-than-just-a-conventional car, own a few credit cards, and a career that make me smile with a sense of achievement when I retired at Cananda (hopefully).
So Colin, no worries, I have my plans even before the article came out. =) I would take up minor in Econs this sem, complete my undergraduate course. Hopefully thereafter, I hope to find myself in use in some investment or marketing companies in the health / pharmceutical industries as a product specialist. Will take up a business degree if its really useful (part of the reason why I'm taking econs minor instead of biz). And from there, I would like to climb up the coporate ladder slowly and steadily. Eventually and hopefully, get a part time MBA degree from NTU, and make a real good use of it. =) At the end of the day, I would wish to be someone in a well established pharmaceutical company, or better still, an aquaculture farm of my own.
Everyone got his aims, and this are my goals in life... =) A bit unrealistic I know, but if I really pursuit my dreams, at the end of the day, maybe I won't wish this far. But at least, it will be somewhere close...
Wish me luck... =)
