I want your JOB!LOL I love learning.

Pre-Med- 4th year in the states

I've always wanted to be a doctor. I was so sure of this and thought that nothing would stop me. Unfortunately, life didnt go as planed so I changed my mind and do not want to pursue medicine anymore. I'm will be graduating soon with a biology degree and have no idea what to do next.  A biology degree without the intention of attaining more education is useless. I feel like I've wasted 4 hard years of my life. i do enjoy biology and I do well in it compared to my mates.

I do not want to  be in school for another 4 years then another 3 years of residency. I'm so confused. What to do what to do? what to do?

I have the grades to go to medschool but Ive been through so much trying to get my bachelors that the thought of being in school for another 4 years is gruesome.

Life decisions, decisions,

Accounting maybe?
*sigh*

Females doctors out there, How do you balance motherhood and your career?
I need a mentor.

dump him!! please get healthy, its not even about the looks, its about your health.

When are we going to stop derailing our culture and stop trying to westernize EVERYTHING?? What is wrong with kneeling down for your husband? He is the HEAD of the family (please dont feed me that equal BS). It shows respect!! that is all,

Some women need to stop over analyzing things, dang. its not that serious,

My mom still uses "e" for my dad and its been year, is just respect.

Roliks09:

Kneel down? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Culture? Which kain?

I think marriage ceremonies have become sort of entertainment for some people, such that they want to wait and watch ( like its some silly Nollywood movie) how the woman feeds her husband, who is first ( and this is veeeeeimeeery ridiculous) to cut the cake ( it even sounds silly). Its even more annoying at those engagement parties where the 'mama gage' and 'baba gage' embarras couples with their lewd remarks and 'ja-je ja-je nonsense'!!!

Is that the sign that I am well brough up? Hell no!! I can kneel down a million times and be as rude 2 million times. It shows how much emphasis we put on appearances and 'follow-follow' cos I see no sense in it. Who started this nonsense anyway.

Dont get me wrong, I can kneel for my husband. It doesnt make me less of a human being. Its not like I'm serving punishment or sth. But to make a nollywood film out of it ? No thanks.

weddings are celebrations!! would you consider receptions, the bride walking down the aisle, the flower girls and all the lil things that goes on in the wedding a "show"

its nonesense??

are u kidding me? How is it nonsense, if you dont know the meaning behind these traditions, please dont call it nonsense

[size=18pt]some people are funny, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU HAVE TO PUNISH HER?? ARE YOU HER FATHER?? WTF??
As far as i see it, you are not her husband and she said no need to listen to ur retarded a**

talking about how can i punish her?? and this is lovE?? SMDH!!!!![/size]

But dont you have to prepare to meet the right person? what if I meet him and I dont have what he wants?
When do I need to tell God that I'm ready?

How do u know when you are ready?

I'm 22. Is this the right age to start looking for a committed relationship? How long is the right time to court with your significant other before marriage? I hope to be married by 27,

I'll also be starting medical school soon and will not be done until im 30, so is it right to start preparing for marriage now?

These qualities you are saying about urself, how are u so sure about them? maybe Men see you differently than what you see yourself.
Maybe you are looking at the wrong places, what about arranged marriage?

I pray you find the man your heart desires.

God's time is the best.

chika98:

What makes you stand out ko? Na competition?

You dont know? Yes it is.

ok, lets not use "typical" anymore, how about unique?

The reason I asked this question is that I see A LOT of Nigerian women in my church that are so much like me, lets say a man is looking for a wife, what sort of qualities will he use to differentiate these Nigerian women at my church?? we all have marriageable qualities and I'm trying to figure out how a man will choose between them,

ThoniaSlim:

The word "typical" I ain't typical!

How? How are you not typical??

ogugua88:

It's funny how some people over-analyze. You know, managers and executives ask similar questions to potential employees. "What makes you stand out from others who have applied for this job?" General stuff like that. Simply describe what makes you "YOU". I'm sure OP is only asking for traits, values, etc. If you don't have an answer, will you kindly move along? Lol.

OP, what I think makes me stand out is my selflessness, confidence, and pride. I'm a very genuine person and I believe in altruism 100%. I put family, people, and country first, before myself. I tend to block out negative people. I'm very carefree and spontaneous and try to live like there is no tomorrow. I'm very much an "in the moment" kind of person. I think of myself as a fearless person. I denounce religion. I'm very passionate about what I love and what I feel is right. I try to be as active as I can politically, and in terms of fighting for civil and human equality. I am all for the well-being of others and make sacrifices for the benefit(s) of others. I am open-minded and focused. I am not necessarily driven but if I want something enough, I will work for it. Human life and the cultures and traditions of others intrigue me. I love to travel and discover more about cultural anthropology. My favorite thing to do, apart from listening to music, is driving endlessly and discovering what awaits me. It has led me to some of the most beautiful parts of the world. If I could describe myself with three adjectives, they would be curious, sanguine, and selfless.

thankss, more like i

Read this entire thread, :O dont know why, maybe cos I'm looking for answers too, Interesting thread, learns one thing or the other.

BTw what i picked up from your postss is that you sound too aggressive, are you a soft person?

One Cork:

Nigerian babes dont have no game ans are usually very boring ( no offence)

But they are usually ugly in a beautiful way

No game? I think you are right in the boring part.

omega25red:

why stand out life is not a job interview. instead of thinking of what makes you stand out, embrace who you are and be the indivdual you should be instead of being a follow follow cow

Are u kidding me? You just contradicted yourself, who we are is what others instill in it! It is your job to find what makes you unique, what your are passionate about. I blame this on our parent, all they want us to do is go school learn how to cook, go to church. get married and have a baby, I'm not saying these are not important but we don't even experience other areas in life,

ElRazur:

@OP (or whoever) can you please define "typical naija babe"? Perhaps from there we can know what exactly you are talking about. In the mean time, since I am continuing your logic of generalisation and assumption, is it fair to say you type in a "typical I no go school" manner?

I gave some examples and i don't mean physical appearances

We are mostly religious, educated, cultured,well mannered, honest,

oh and the typing part??

iice:

I have only 1% interest and character in common with them
I prolly have more in common with Naija Boys

How? in what ways?

nice.one:

hey dear, i dont fink they are. But if u'r convinced they are u should peharps modify u's cos mine came first

lol relax, im just saying

Its normal,

You need to go and ask for forgiveness!! poor girl

This is kinda similar to my recent post,

I've been thinking about this lately. We are all looking for true love but the thing I've notice is that most Nigerian girls have the same attributes, I know everyone is different in their own way but what makes you stand out. Most naija babes are educated, cultured, etc but what makes you stand out from a typical woman? Please share.

Any more premeds here??

sugar pp:

if a guy will consider leaving u because of a situation that is beyond your control do u think u bringn a baby into the world will make him luv or respect u more also IVF cn put evn more strain on a marriage it is nt an easy process especially if it doesnt wrk out immediately or in the 1st few tries.
I think if theres fertility issues a woman shld only consider IVF if the marriage is solid nt as a last ditch attempt to save a marriage- if a man wants to walk let him!

At the end of the dAy, its not about love. Love fades. Do you know the pain of a childless women? From what I've seen, most Nigerian women dont marry for love. So not having child adds up to the forced marrige. I'm not trying to generalize here but its the trUTH. Most of us dont want to admit it but having child in a marrige is a HUGE part of successful marriage. ofcourse love and respect ARE THERE IN SOME CASES BUT THEY ARE RARE, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR TRADITION.

sugar pp:

i will do IVF if we need it n we both want children but definitely nt to try n save a marriage IVF cannot save a marriage!

Why cant it save marriages? Do you know how many marriages fail b/c of infertility? Do you think a NIGERIAN ma will stay in a marriage when there is not child? please state the reason why it cant,

How do you think Infertility has affect marriages in Nigeria?

sheguru:

Hi, if we both agree.its a done deal.taboo or no taboo.we definitely need more specialists in that field.

If I may ask, Im guessing you are a female? How often do you go to an OBGYN? If you have, when was the first time you went?

For those of you who do not know, In vitro fertilization or IVF is a scientific method which combines the sperm and the egg in a dish. The embryo will then be implanted into the mother’s womb for it to develop like a normal baby.

I know a lot of us women want to wait for God and are very taboo about this but the leave religion aside. Are you willing to go through this to save your marriage? Do you think we need more IVF specialist in Nigeria?

Men, I want to hear your input as well,
