Question: Do you feel bad abut not forfilling your dream of becoming a pathologist?

No not at all – I think it’s prefectly normal to have ideas of what you’d like to be growing up but the more things that we expose ourselves to, the more things we become interested in. And for me, as i grew older (through my teens) i became more interested in environmental and earth sciences (geography, geology, ecology etc) than i did in medical sciences so i just moved more towards the things that interested me. My Dad was a dopctor so i guess i had that interest from him but it’s important to find out what really inspires you, and for me it was all about being outside, doing fieldwork and not being stuck in a laboratory! Plus, i wasn’t good enough at Chemistry!!
