dilemma.. again!

after i thought all my decision-making for my future was done, another carrot appears right in front of my eye. a huge humongous million dollar carrot no less. :(

well pros are that i don't have to pay a single cent (well duh..) and i get allowances too! 1100 pounds per month may even be more than what half of singaporeans earn! PLUS after 3 years when i start PhD, i'll have a stipend too! and i've heard it amounts to 3000 plus sing dollars, OVER AND ABOVE the monthly allowance. at this rate, i can buy my own house straight after a get my degrees without actually having to lift a finger to work!

ok now for the cons: i don't see myself doing resarch, even though it's tied in with clinical experience (which i doubt will add up to much considering who's offering the scholarship). and even if i convince myself to do research, i think i'll need to start out with some semblence of clinical practice before i can actually come up with useful treatments, and the scholarship doesn't allow you to specialise! major draw-back point. :(

ughhh. looks like i'm throwing away my million dollars :(:(:(
