Piece of precious advice^^

Advices come in many ways. Advices are often given when you asked a right question.
Even some good advices are best to be analysed first before calling a move for it.

This is what i think when people give you advices.

1.When you doubt a certain question or having a dilemma of making your own decision.
2.When you are totally confused of your current status. Your status today might not be the one you like or fancy. you might be regretting all the way long. Like for instances, A feels that he has not maked a right decision by studying Biotech. He think that there is no room for his interest's advancements and having a bleak prospect if taking biotech. But somehow, he is unable to make any decision just because he gett he course which is not the one he really like. He doesn't have the will to make his decision, he follows what the UPU has given him. In other words, he follow his destiny,his fate. whatever goven to him, he just accepts.

This is kind of pathetic, isn't it? try to imagine a situation when you have lactose intolerance, you are stuck in your house with no waters left available but the only beverages left is milk. You don't have the choice to not taking milk or else you would be dehydrated.
Instead of letting yourself to be dehydrated, it is better to let yourself to have diarhea by taking milk, isn't it?
It is just like the situaution where you have only 2 choices left:
1. Go to the course that u have been granted.or else,
2. Start working.

Option 2 seems impossible for me, since i am all opting for further study. Unable to afford to choose any institutions to further my study in the courses that i want, i have to choose option 1.

I particularly like the advices given by an elite from LYN--fenzodahl512:
He deserves the title of an elite=)

Anyone has its own potential, but potential can never be translate into a sure thing.. Potential depends on many aspect including hardwork and luck..

A biochemist can make a lot of money depending on what they do.. The researchers who research something that can translate into profit will make a lot of money.

Let say if you're invented a biofuel that can be use in our modern and old car as a replacement for petroleum based product, you will be rich.. A lot of big corporates want to hire you, and to purchase your research as their rights.

Or if you manage to extract any ingredients from plants/bug/animal that can be used in medicine purpose, you'll gain fame..

Now, back to the prospect.. Lets face it.. Chemist do chemical test in labs.. The purpose might be different, some do research, QC, forensic testing, etc.. And industries need labs but just in minimal numbers, as the result will be used and reproduce for their future reference. Any new findings that leads to maximizing profit or reducing cost will be useful and appreciate. Anything else will be treated as waste of resources..

What industries really needs? Commercials.. That where the money comes from.. They must translate from research >> mass productions >> money.. The major chunk would be commercials (selling/marketing and so on)

Now, our government actually emphasizes in research, however, with limited fund and equipments, thus translates into lack of opportunities.. (unless you're a lecturer in any university that have grant to do some research) That's why I stated earlier, the prospect is quite low here in Malaysia but quite big in other developed countries..

And while those enterprise and industries will need biochemist, they only need them in minimal quantities.. We still got a lot of industries here, but not as much as China..

So, it won't surprise me if science students like us ends up working in totally different field.. We just simply need to adapt and master other knowledge of different field than we learn in universities/colleges..

Don't restrict yourself.. You can plan towards your future (and its best to do so) but you'll never know what will happen about two years from now.. The best thing is to do our best presently and strive for the best in the future..

I'm very glad to know you

That's it. I will strike hard for my degree and follow my desired pathway, and make it a point for achieving what i want in my life.
Thanks for the piece of advice!=)
