Thanks man. <br /><br />@serenity: That's quite a good analogy there. Shame that there isn't continue and retry for us either...<br /><br />And you're pretty spot on about the motivation issues; I'll definitely keep that in mind should I shoot for research.

If only life had save-states.<br /><br />The research pathway to masters seems like it would be a bad choice if you had motivation issues, but you're about to complete a degree so that's probably not the case for you.<br /><br />At the end of the day, though, there's always going to be uncertainty. If there was an objectively best choice, you'd already have picked it. Having said that, best of luck picking the path you think is the best for you.serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049848490276194092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727202908349305570.post-32540980991727922792011-07-25T18:54:41.299+08:002011-07-25T18:54:41.299+08:00>This is going to put off many people, but some...>This is going to put off many people, but some things I just wanted to let out.<br /><br />This is your place to write whatever you feel and want.

Master, working, or other than those, it'd mean that I'm stepping out of my comfort zone... which I'm not sure if I'm up for it, given my generally blissfully uncaring of the current situation.<br /><br />On that note, yea I am very much exaggerating things haha, so sorry if this does come out like I'm in a big problem (although it does worry me - I haven't gotten my stomach in a knot since... when I was applying for university). And I was gonna ask around for advices from some of those people 'up top', but certain sides are pushing me to some pre-conceived idea of career, both implicitly and explicitly (*sigh*).<br /><br />Thanks!

I thought it might be a more shockingly life wrecking dilemma at first...<br /><br />I think you shouldn't let yourself get carried away though. Obviously money is very important in your situation and you might either want to work on the side, join a funded research project, or get a sponsor? Otherwise aim to keep it short. If your government and/or family is the kind that will let you sink then watch out.<br /><br />Either way evaluate the industry of your current major and decide whether it suits you or not. If you rather be a loner/booky character then see what options there are for side-stepping into an adjacent field?<br /><br />Either way, good luck!
