Hi everyone,
BE REALISTIC!
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU LIKE THAT?
YOU ARE A DOCTOR!
NO WAY. NEVER, EVER THINK THAT AGAIN!
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
Those are the answers when I currently said to my friends that I want to change my path to what I love to do.
Let me briefly introduce myself.
- I received the Ph.D. degree from the department of neuroscience in South Korea last year,
- Have started working in the US as a post-doctoral fellow from this March,
- Living with my wife and a baby boy, 7-month-old, born in the US.
I think I have believed that life with a 'highly-educated' would be the best path for the rest of my life. When I finished reading MJ's books a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't agree more with what those books are saying, and honestly, very depressed...for a while.
I thought If I would keep my path regularly, like a bachelor's - master's - Ph.D. degree, I could be happy someday and paid more. And now is the someday, but neither happy nor paid more. The biggest problem is that I DON'T LIKE WHAT I AM WORKING ON NOW.
As all of you know, a traditional education system requires countless effort, money and time. Now I am thinking that I lost tons of opportunities to find the best track of my life while keeping my energy, money and time on getting a piece of paper, Ph.D. degree. Every morning I feel pain from the deepest of my heart for what I have to do that I don't want to do...
Long story short, to get out of this life, I am currently trying to find what I would love to do, regardless of my major and my previous career. Furthermore, looking for what makes me happy and move forward and motivated more.
This forum already motivated me and helped me a lot to think about my future! Good luck all of you and thank you for reading my rambling writing!
