Too late or should I try?

20 years old.

What a perfect time to be lost and clueless.

I'm no stranger to this feeling. In fact, I have been lost even as I enter University.

I do enjoy my current course (Economics) because of my interest in data and analysis.

But I find myself being drawn to a different career path that is not related to my major?

I could not believe it myself as I told myself I never wanted to go down that path in the future.

But I guess now I'm thinking of pursuing the path that every Asian parent wants their kid to do.

Yes, it's the legendary Medicine course.

It's going to be hard for me since I haven't taken science for a long time...

Right now my goal is to graduate with my Economics degree and get good honours (and good CAP!). Following that, I will have to work for a few years in order to earn enough money to pay for medical school (school fees are expensive). I will most likely have to juggle work and prepare for the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). And go through numerous rounds of interviews before I get accepted/rejected/waitlisted. 

I don't know if my goal will change in a few years time, but we'll see. 

Haiz, being young and clueless is tiring...
