plse friends, am in a kind of fix rite now; I have always desired to become a medical doctor rite from my high school days. After many attempts of securing d admission failed, I picked up an alternative course, Biological science. All tru my days in d university, I never felt satisfied because biological sciences wasn't my dream course. Just because I vowed never to pal with academic failure, I was able to graduate with a CGPA of 4.32, second class upper. I finished my NYSC last year October, by January dis year I secured a teaching job dat pays me 50-60k monthly. While in service , I applied tru D.E for medicine and Surgery in a highly recognized federal university in Nigeria. In summary, the list was released a few days back and I was offered admission, MBBS, 200L.

.....my fix and dilemma..
plse advise me, should I quit d job and go for d medicine or I stick to d job and go for my masters later..?

but I will be more fulfilled in d field of Medicine.

Thanks for ur warm pieces of advice!

Its only in Nigeria that a medical doctor earns more n respected more than a teacher

are you satisfied with the teaching job?! do you feel fulfilled when you teach?! let me be honest with you, its not everyone that gains admission to study medicine that graduates to become a medical doctor (people fall by the way side because of the rigorous training). I would advise you to go for medicine on the condition that your present job is shitty with no prospect of career growth or upward career advancement. you can actually make something out of you biological science degree, apart from teaching, there are other things you can get involved that can take you closer to your passion eg public health. think about it.

My broda, go for d Medicine. u will tank me later.

The school management and my children's parents are really pleased with me. Infact, in one of our staff meetings, my boss said dat my school really did me great injustice by not given me first class..

The truth, I have always felt teaching isn't my line..no satisfaction yet..

since you're not satisfied, then go for medicine. but make sure you estimate the real cost of doing so.

If the school is a government school apply for study leave with pay until they stop paying you and realise you ain't coming back.

. Medicine here he comes.
