If you want to pursue that career, do it in your home country. It makes your life less painful.
If you decide to go abroad, choose something else or prepare to bring along with you a truck load of cash.
Don't choose Science.
Don't pick Chemistry, pick bio or biochem.
Don't go for synthetic organic chemistry, settle down with Analytical chem instead.
Don't work and study at the same time. Spend the entire summer to study for the M*** and do not work for money in the lab, volunteer instead.
Don't choose grad school to buy you time 'cz its painful to manage to do well what u dont want to do.
Don't work in a big group with a well-known prof at a top university.
Its all about money and citizenship. Having neither one, don't do it.
Still dont wanna give up 'cz its your dream? Freeze your heart, hole up your emotions and put on a cold face. Keep running like a bullet train without knowing where the last stop is.
"Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion"
A new journey is about to begin. "Living the next 7 years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't" reminded by a friend.
