underdog Posted April 9, 2008 Lil Sis, the lack of inspiration is your conscience telling you the truth. There's too many doctors and engineers and bankers and teachers.... This whole education thing is overrated. do you really wanna spend the next 6 to 8 yrs lugging heavy books around and waking up early to run to a lecture that you'll fall asleep in anyway? If you can read and write, you have everything you need. Don't stress and don't let the "world" pressure you into what you think you "should be doing". relax and have a good time! .

Abaay Heylay Posted April 10, 2008 Then go for what u like, why do u want to do something that u don't have the passion for. To be honest, I am in the medical field, u must have the passion for it, and u must be ready and must be willing to sacrafice ur time. What inspired was my mom who is a RN and friends.

Geel_jire Posted April 10, 2008 another approach would be for you to throw out a list of a few possibilities ... you might find some SOLers already in that field who could give a more clearer picture of the +ve's and -ve's. dont listen to 'education isn't for everyone' if you have the opportunity... pursue it. God knows we need more educated brothers and sisters who might make a difference back home one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted April 10, 2008 Lil sister, Unless and until you asses yourself consciously, all advise from outside especially the web would be deeply flawed since it is you alone who can decide what you want to do with your life. Your mind should be telling you what you want to do. There is nothing you can never attain or do if you put all your efforts to it. Your own decision will get you closer to the truth of who you are as a person. It is the choice you would make today that would be the main determinant of what your future would be. The more attention you give your choice the more energized you would be towards your goals in life. Once you find your love for any profession the rest of your life direction would be a game that you would be playing along. I also believe in the power of prayer. It is through prayer and hard work that you would find your dreams comes true. If there is no joy or ease of what you want to do with your life, you would be a miserable person-life would become a burden to you! Do not be afraid of failure as it would only make you stronger and closer to your dream. Remember Thomas Edison had many failures before he could invent the lamp. It is a great start that you are questioning yourself this early in your life. I would advise you to try to look around your family, friends, and neighbors. Do they have anything that inspires you? The experiences you accumulate within your surroundings should guide you as to what is important to you! I would not lecture you about the importance of education in this western world. I’m guessing this is something any person would tell you to do in order to participate in this current world of everyday new invention of ideas.

Jacaylbaro Posted April 10, 2008 lil_Sister ,, You need no help at all. Just go with what you like ,,,,,, if you don't like anything, then stay home and get married as soon as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted April 10, 2008 Lol@ DR Phil...Sometimes a labored long replies are worth.Ocassionally I may look the other way and igore some topics, but when it involves young people who need direction about their tangled future I feel obligated to make my replies longer than the troll corner. JB, stop giving the girl a tartly advice.You know all girls hate the word marriage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underdog Posted April 10, 2008 Its funny how everyones telling the girl to "Do what you want" "Do what you like".... If she had an idea this thread wouldn't exist. I'm assigning my self the Ambassador of Academic Ignorance. Success doesn't come from education. Happiness is not related to work. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you commit yourself to it.
