Dear Nairaland,
I am in a state of dilemma now. Choosing between going for masters and pursuing my passion of studying medicine is quite difficult for me.

I studied chemistry Education, graduated well, served and I'm now teaching. I am barely two years into the profession and I am already tired of it. I feel I deserve a career not just a work. A career in medicine for me is something that I belive will make me happy. it's something I can do even if I'm not paid for....I'm 25 years and I feel I have no time again.

I hope to go pick up a JAMB form this week to pursue my passion and happiness. I will not want to make any mistake here. So I believe hearing from people who have been in this shoe will guide me.

Have you been in this situation?
Did you pursue your passion?
Please share your story, age at which this decision was taken and how it has impacted your life.

This will go a long way in guiding me through this critical decision.

Thank you

I thought this question was already answered. Or are you do you just feel like chatting...?

I did same course. While serving, I wrote WAEC and Jamb again for another degree where I now find fulfilment. I will be graduating in a few months' time. Please pursue your passion... All the noise the decision would elicit won't matter in 20years time. Not doing it, however, will make you forever not fulfilled.

Woww! Thanks for this

More stories and experiences pls

Trust me should I say" I know that feeling ",however I'll say you start with getting a jamb form since deadline is fast approaching. You need to double your preparation since you're also working as well. Permit me to correct you,masters degr will be of added advantage to you, so is the work you're doing now since you're getting experience so technically both will be of help to you in the long run.
I was to write jamb this year tho I don't have money but I'm keeping my hopes alive. All the best sir

Thanks a lot sir. May God provide

Yea, after my HND in electrical/electronics.. Still went to bag a Bsc on Information technology.
Is worth it though

Why Jamb again? Just go through DE. Abeg it's worth it if it's medicine you wan go for. You go finish and within few years you'll catch up with most of your mates that finished that chemistry course.

I studied Agric Econs for my 1st degree, then I sat for JAMB UTME in final year and now I'm in 200L. I've never regretted my decision for a single day..In some countries , you must have a degree before going to Medical school..It's Medicine or nothing for me, that was my mantra.

He should even use the two options.

MrEgghead:

I'm not sure one will be able to go for the the two options at the same time this year

Pls share more experiences. Thanks

Bros, forget timing and go for what will make you happy. Are you so concerned about time that you are willing to live in regrets all the days of your life, time is there to make us do things quick not to cast our happiness aside. Btw, I have my first degree and I've served already but I just entered for medicine. All the best, God bless.

Travel out first

Do what you have to do, you are 25 now, in the next 7 years you will be 32 either you go back to study or not.

So when u are 32 will u be sad or happy.

The choice is yours.

Love this statement.

I have a friend with this same exact dilemma.

And I'll tell you the same thing .....

Medicine no be beans
Let say you get a 280+ in jamblike this time and you also get Into the university with the MBBs

Would you enjoy days and night for reading and doing all those all that stuff medicine students do and leave the life ....cause unless your a crazy genius I swear those guys don't have time for themselves.
Except once in a while
Then let's say you go private cause Medicine stuff in Federal university is like 10years plus strike
And then when your done start looking for how to leave the country cause Nigera is almost a dead end
unless you start lecturing which also became a dead end of sort.

Bro it you alone that knows the pros of studdying medicine and if it outweighs all the above.
I swear chase your happiness cause in reality no one gives a f.
your the only that can look after yourself I can tell you about my friend that left pharmacy In third year to study medicine and he grown like late 20s and he seemes happier or my friend that left MBBs in 3rd year to study chemistry

So......It your choice

bro if it worth chasing All the best

Hmmm this is deep

More comments pls

Honestly man I not here to discourage you...
There's a lot of factors you have to consider cost of studying medicine ain't the same with other courses like there's textbooks you won't always be able to cook dissecting kit and other stuffs.

But you won't want to live your whole life wishing you didn't take this opportunity or you didn't give your medicine career your all try and score jamb well at least for a start. Then let see what's next
